The Development of a Genome Wide SNP Set for the Barnacle Goose Branta leucopsis
Migratory birds are of particular interest for population genetics because of the high connectivity between habitats and populations. A high degree of connectivity requires using many genetic markers to achieve the required statistical power, and a genome wide SNP set can fit this purpose. Here we present the development of a genome wide SNP set for the Barnacle Goose Branta leucopsis, a model ...
متن کاملPredation Danger Can Explain Changes in Timing of Migration: The Case of the Barnacle Goose
Understanding stopover decisions of long-distance migratory birds is crucial for conservation and management of these species along their migratory flyway. Recently, an increasing number of Barnacle geese breeding in the Russian Arctic have delayed their departure from their wintering site in The Netherlands by approximately one month and have reduced their staging duration at stopover sites in...
متن کاملRadiation effects of tritiated seawater on development of the goose barnacle, Pollicipes polymerus.
Barnacle embryos were reared in Millipore cytology monitors containing approximate tritiated water (HTO) concentrations of background plus 0, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, and 10 μCi/ml. After 32 days the cultures were fixed and the numbers of larvae counted. A “molting index,” the percentage of larvae that molted at least once, was used to evaluate the effects of HTO on normal development. Effects were ...
متن کاملTissue-specific effects of hypothyroidism on postnatal muscle development in the barnacle goose.
The hypothesis that tissue-specific levels of thyroid hormones may be required for normal locomotor muscle development was investigated in the barnacle goose Branta leucopsis. Hypothyroidism was induced in goslings by treatment with methimazole from either 3 days or 2 weeks of age, and birds were killed at 7 weeks of age. The masses of the pectoralis, iliofibularis, semimembranosus and cardiac ...
متن کاملFatty acid binding protein in heart and skeletal muscles of the migratory barnacle goose throughout development.
The long-distance migratory flights of birds are predominantly fueled by the oxidation of fatty acids, which are sourced primarily from extracellular adipose stores. These fatty acids have to be transported, via the circulatory system, to the mitochondria of the active muscles. An important facilitator of fatty acid transport within the cytoplasm of muscle cells is fatty acid binding protein (F...
