Body condition scoring: a rapid and accurate method for assessing health status in mice.
Practical, rapid, noninvasive methods for assessing health status and establishing endpoints are needed in mouse experiments in which wasting and death are a potential end-point, including aging and toxicology studies, ascites production, and phenotype analysis in mutant mouse colonies. Current methods for assessing the health status of a mouse and establishing endpoints might include observati...
متن کاملMating success and body condition not related to foraging specializations in male fur seals
Individual specialization is widespread among wild populations. While its fitness consequences are central in predicting the ecological and evolutionary trajectories of populations, they remain poorly understood. Long-term individual foraging specializations occur in male Antarctic (Arctocephalus gazella) and Australian (A. pusillus doriferus) fur seals. Strong selective pressure is expected in...
متن کاملGenetic variability in Guadalupe fur seals.
The Guadalupe fur seal (Arctocephalus townsendi) population underwent one or two severe bottlenecks due to commercial sealing in the late 19th century. Since then the protected population has been growing steadily around their only rookery, Isla de Guadalupe, Mexico. We probed both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes using multilocus nuclear DNA profiling and mitochondrial DNA sequencing to estim...
متن کاملEcological implications of body composition and thermal capabilities in young antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella).
In comparison with other homeotherms, young recently weaned marine mammals in high latitudes face exceptional energetic demands when foraging and thermoregulating. Lipids are an important source of energy and a major component of insulation that allows them to meet these demands. To examine the role of lipid stores in a high-latitude pinniped, we measured the body composition and thermoregulato...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Hookworm Disease in Northern Fur Seals
blood and enter the bronchi of the lungs. There they are coughed up through the trachea into the throat and swallowed. This is referred to as the pulmonary route of infection and historically had been considered the only route of hookworm infection. In the small and large intestine the worms attach to the wall of the intestine and suck blood, mature, and lay eggs, which pass out with the feces ...
