The Use of Wild Carnivore Serology in Determining Patterns of Plague Activity in Rodents in California
Carnivores obtain plague infection through ingestion of infected rodents or rabbits or via flea bite. Most are resistant to infection, show little or no symptoms, and produce antibodies to Yersinia pestis which may persist for several months. Consequently, carnivores can be used as serological plague sentinels using the specific passive or indirect hemagglutination test in the laboratory. A car...

In parallel, aesthetic and scientific arguments against le...
متن کاملCarnivore/non-carnivore ratios in northeastern Pacific marine gastropods
For 2321 species of shelled gastropods of the northeastern Pacific, the ratio of carnivorous to non-carnivorous species (C/NC ratio), computed for each degree of latitude, reveals striking spatial changes, with tropical and arctic areas characterized by high values and with the midlatitudes having the lowest ratios. This latitudinal trend is markedly different from trends for terrestrial clades...
