Morphological Color-Change in the Red-Backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) While Kept in Captivity
Coloration is a trait frequently cited as important to ecological, and thus evolutionary, processes in amphibians. To fully understand the impact of coloration, a consistent method of color measurement is required, which is often achieved by collecting color information in a captive, laboratory setting. However, results from the lab can only be generalized to the field if coloration remains con...
متن کاملThe Three-Dimensional Morphological Effects of Captivity
Many captive animals are fed diets that are drastically different in mechanical properties than their wild diet. Most captive pantherines are fed a nutritionally supplemented diet consisting almost entirely of ground meat. While many zoos supplement this diet with bones, the fact remains that large captive felids are fed diets that require substantially less masticatory effort than those of the...
متن کاملIs a wild mammal kept and reared in captivity still a wild animal?
This study compared domestic guinea pigs (Cavia aperea f. porcellus; DGP) and two different populations of the wild cavy (Cavia aperea), its ancestor, to examine whether rearing of wild mammals in captivity affects their behavior and physiological stress responses. One population of wild cavies consisted of wild-trapped animals and their first laboratory-reared offspring (WGP-1). The animals of...
متن کاملGastrointestinal morphological alterations in obese rats kept under hypercaloric diets
Hypercaloric diets have been successfully used as experimental models of obesity. This work compared morphological characteristics of inferior gastrointestinal organs. The experiment lasted 10 weeks, during which the rats' food consumption, body weight, distance between the mouth and neck, distance between mouth and neck, distance between neck and tail, and abdominal circumference were evaluate...
متن کاملPresence of a Human Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli Clone in Captivity Kept Psittacidaes
Bacterial cultures of cloaca swabs from 86 captivity kept psittacidaes revealed 17 Escherichia coli bearing birds sharing strains which, on the basis of enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) PCR analysis, proved to be genetically similar. Further, triplex PCR specific for the genetic markers chuA, yjaA, and TSPE4.C2 was used to assign the strains to the E. coli reference collec...
