Comparative Study of Transcriptome Profiles of Mouse Livers and Skins Infected by Fork-Tailed or Non-Fork-Tailed Schistosoma japonicum
Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) is a worldwide spread pathogen which penetrates host skin and then induces several diseases in infected host, such as fibrosis, formation of granulomas, hepatocirrhosis, and hepatomegaly. In present study, for the first time, transcriptomic profiles of mouse livers and skins infected by fork-tailed S. japonicum cercaria or non-fork-tailed S. japonicum cercar...
متن کاملFork-tailed drongos use deceptive mimicked alarm calls to steal food.
Despite the prevalence of vocal mimicry in animals, few functions for this behaviour have been shown. I propose a novel hypothesis that false mimicked alarm calls could be used deceptively to scare other species and steal their food. Studies have previously suggested that animals use their own species-specific alarm calls to steal food. However none have shown conclusively that these false alar...
متن کاملAntler Characteristics and Body Mass of Spike- and Fork-antlered Yearling White-tailed Deer at Maturity
We compared antler characteristics and body mass at 4.5 years of age (adult) of 140 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) reared in a captive herd at the Kerr Wildlife Management Area (Hunt, Texas) from 1973 to 1990. Each yearling (1.5 years old) was classified as spike(N = 43) or fork-antlered (N = 97), and its live body mass recorded. Fork-antlered yearlings were further partitioned into...
متن کاملA burrowscope for examining petrel nests in burrows
This report describes the development and refinement of a burrowscope that is reliable and robust enough to withstand arduous field conditions crucial for obtaining accurate data on sooty shearwater (Puffinus griseus) burrow occupancy and breeding success. The burrowscope consists of a miniature camera and infra-red lights mounted on a three metre length of hose through which images are project...
متن کاملMercury concentrations in breast feathers of three upper trophic level marine predators from the western Aleutian Islands, Alaska.
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic element distributed globally through atmospheric transport. Agattu Island, located in the western Aleutian Islands, Alaska, has no history of point-sources of Hg contamination. We provide baseline levels of total mercury (THg) concentrations in breast feathers of three birds that breed on the island. Geometric mean THg concentrations in feathers of fork-tailed storm-petr...
