Characterization of Fatty Acid Composition in Eurasian Badger (Meles meles)

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PuFAs, lA and AlA) are not synthesized in mammals in the absence of their essential fatty acid precursors. however, hibernating animals and animals sleeping through the winter need sufficiently high amounts of these acids. The eurasian badger does not hibernate, but sleeps over winter. In the autumn the body weight of adult badgers increases even twofold, since they...

A spontaneously seasonal hypercholesterolemic animal: plasma lipids and lipoproteins in the European badger (Meles meles L.).

The European badger has previously been shown to exhibit yearly cycles of locomotor activity, endocrine secretions, and body weight, as well as seasonal variations in plasma cholesterol. Over a period of 2 years, we have followed the plasma levels of free and esterified cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids, and of plasma lipoproteins (by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, agar...

Environmental drivers of the distribution and density of the European badger (Meles meles): a review

Knowing the environmental factors affecting species’ distribution is an important basic step in ecological research. Here, we present a literature review on the environmental factors influencing European badger (Meles meles) distribution and density. According to the published literature, the badger is a highly adaptive species, capable of using different environmental services and adapting to ...
