StudyCapture myopathy in red deer and wild goat
This syndrome is a shock-like hyper metabolic myopathy triggered in susceptible animals by stress. Capture myopathy (C.M.) is a commonly occurring condition in mammals following trapping and transportation. In this case 12 to 24 hours after transportation of red deer (Cevus elaphus) and wild goats (Capra ibex) clinical signs such as: muscular tremor, ataxia, recumbency, hyperthermia, tachyca...
متن کاملA genome scan for quantitative trait loci in a wild population of red deer (Cervus elaphus).
Recent empirical evidence indicates that although fitness and fitness components tend to have low heritability in natural populations, they may nonetheless have relatively large components of additive genetic variance. The molecular basis of additive genetic variation has been investigated in model organisms but never in the wild. In this article we describe an attempt to map quantitative trait...
متن کاملEnvironmental conditions in early life influence ageing rates in a wild population of red deer
The process of ageing, or senescence, is an important focus of current research, but our knowledge of the factors influencing ageing rates in naturally occurring populations remains poor [1]. A growing number of studies of wild vertebrate and human populations has shown that environmental conditions early in life can have long-term effects on fitness-correlated traits [2,3]. However, the conseq...
متن کاملIndividual differences, density dependence and offspring birth traits in a population of red deer.
Variation between individuals is an essential component of natural selection and evolutionary change, but it is only recently that the consequences of persistent differences between individuals on population dynamics have been considered. In particular, few authors have addressed whether interactions exist between individual quality and environmental variation. In part, this is due to the diffi...
متن کاملGastrointestinal parasites in an isolated Norwegian population of wild red deer (Cervus elaphus)
BACKGROUND Thirteen red deer (Cervus elaphus), culled from the isolated population at the Mongstad Oil Refinery, Norway, were investigated for gastrointestinal helminths. These animals, enclosed by the refinery fence, do not have contact with other ruminants and have a high population density considering the available browsing area (1 km(2)) within the refinery site (3 km(2)). The population wa...
