Threatened badgers' breeding secrets
Mammals, like other animals, use a range of tactics to maximise breeding success but there is often a sexual conflict which mismatches the best strategies for males and females. How these conflicts pan out represent a rich field of research for workers looking at evolutionary issues. In a new study, biologists from the University of Oxford explore the evidence that a rare tactic is used by fema...
متن کاملBadgers and bovine tuberculosis
falsify a molecular phylogeny based on evidence from geographic or morphological evidence. However, a phylogeny reconstructing extinct relationships, which usually did not preserve molecular evidence, is difficult to falsify. When studying paleontology, constructing phylogenetic hypotheses is important, yet we are always struggling in debates over which phylogenetic cladogram is closest to the ...
متن کاملMolecular sexing of threatened Gyps vultures: an important strategy for conservation breeding and ecological studies
During the last two decades populations of three resident species of Gyps vulture have declined dramatically and are now threatened with extinction in South Asia. Sex identification of vultures is of key importance for the purpose of conservation breeding as it is desirable to have an equal sex ratio in these monogamous species which are housed together in large colony aviaries. Because vulture...

be hypothesised that adaptation to pollinators has been a driving force behind the diversification of some of the major elements of the southern African flora, " Johnson writes. Southern African flowers are known to be attractive to a range of species from long-probscid flies, oil-bees, hawkmoths, butterflies, birds and rodents. Many of these pollination interactions have been characterised in ...

-Evidence is presented that microscopic tumours (of a transplantable murine mammary carcinoma, M8013X) grow faster than larger, palpable, tumours. Microscopic tumours are also more radiosensitive than larger tumours. The decrease in radiosensitivity in larger tumours is prevented to a large extent by misonidazole, which has no significant effect on the radiosensitivity of microscopic tumours. T...
