Myoglobin oxygen affinity in aquatic and terrestrial birds and mammals.
Myoglobin (Mb) is an oxygen binding protein found in vertebrate skeletal muscle, where it facilitates intracellular transport and storage of oxygen. This protein has evolved to suit unique physiological needs in the muscle of diving vertebrates that express Mb at much greater concentrations than their terrestrial counterparts. In this study, we characterized Mb oxygen affinity (P50) from 25 spe...
متن کاملTerrestrial and aquatic mammals of the Pantanal.
Different works have registered the number of mammal species within the natural habitats of the Pantanal based on currently known records, with species richness ranging from 89 to 152 of annotated occurrences. Our present list sums 174 species. However, at least three factors have to be emphasised to deal with recorded numbers: 1) to establish the ecotone limit between the floodplain (which is ...
متن کاملMirex residues in seven groups of aquatic and terrestrial mammals.
Mirex residues were determined in muscle and liver tissues of seven species of aquatic and terrestrial mammals collected at four 6-month intervals from areas in Alabama and Georgia treated with mirex to suppress imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) from March 1973 through July 1976. Residue levels were significantly different (P > 0.01) among mammalian groups. Within species, residue levels ...
متن کاملDetection and identification of Malassezia species in domestic animals and aquatic birds by PCR-RFLP
The present study aimed at detection and species-level identification of the Malassezia yeasts in domestic animals and aquatic birds by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Samples were collected using tape strips and swabs from 471 animals including 97 horses, 102 cattle, 105 sheep, 20 camels, 60 dogs, 30 cats, 1 hamster, 1 squirrel, 50 aquatic birds a...
متن کاملAbove and below ground impacts of terrestrial mammals and birds in a tropical forest
Understanding the impact of losing trophic diversity has global significance for managing ecosystems as well as important theoretical implications for community and ecosystem ecology. In several tropical forest ecosystems, habitat fragmentation has resulted in declines and local extinctions of mammalian and avian terrestrial insectivores. To assess the ability of a tropical rainforest community...
