Investigations of Waterborne Pathogens in Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber) from Telemark County, Southeast Norway
The presence of pathogenic bacteria and parasites in drinking water is a well-known cause of human disease outbreaks (Isaac-Renton & Cordeiro 1993, Koenraad et al. 1997). There is however, a lack of knowledge of the contamination routes to water. In Norway, the supply of drinking water to the public and the food industry is primarily based on chlorinated surface water. Since the Eurasian beaver...
متن کاملSalivary composition: effects of age and sex.
Sali~a from healthy individuals and from patients with various diseases, between the ages of 10 to 90, were collected. The amylase and protein composition were correlated with age, sex and state of health. The results indicate that the specific activity of arnylase decreased with increase in age. Men synthesize and secrete greater amounts of protein and amylase than women. Total protein and alb...
متن کاملAge-related changes in somatic condition and reproduction in the Eurasian beaver: Resource history influences onset of reproductive senescence
Using 15 years of data from a stable population of wild Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber), we examine how annual and lifetime access to food resources affect individual age-related changes in reproduction and somatic condition. We found an age-related decline in annual maternal reproductive output, after a peak at age 5-6. Rainfall, an established negative proxy of annual resource availability fo...
متن کاملAncient X chromosomes reveal contrasting sex bias in Neolithic and Bronze Age Eurasian migrations.
Dramatic events in human prehistory, such as the spread of agriculture to Europe from Anatolia and the late Neolithic/Bronze Age migration from the Pontic-Caspian Steppe, can be investigated using patterns of genetic variation among the people who lived in those times. In particular, studies of differing female and male demographic histories on the basis of ancient genomes can provide informati...
متن کاملAncient mitochondrial DNA and the genetic history of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) in Europe.
After centuries of human hunting, the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber had disappeared from most of its original range by the end of the 19th century. The surviving relict populations are characterized by both low genetic diversity and strong phylogeographical structure. However, it remains unclear whether these attributes are the result of a human-induced, late Holocene bottleneck or already exist...
