Chromosomal heterozygosity and fertility in house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) from Northern Italy.
Following the discovery of over 40 Robertsonian (Rb) races of Mus musculus domesticus in Europe and North Africa, the house mouse has been studied extensively as an ideal model to determine the chromosomal changes that may cause or accompany speciation. Current models of chromosomal speciation are based on the assumption that heterozygous individuals have a particularly low fertility, although ...
متن کاملNineteen paracentric chromosomal inversions in mice.
Using mutagens on sperm and spermatids we have produced nineteen chromosomal inversions in mice. The levels of radiation and chemical mutagen we used induced inversions in about one per cent of the animals screened. Nine inversions have been transmitted through successive generations, and the particular frequency of first meiotic anaphase bridges manifested by each inversion remained constant. ...
متن کاملImmunodepression reduces learning performance in male laboratory mice (Mus musculus).
Several theoretical and empirical studies have suggested that immunocompetence may act as a constraint on learning, due to a trade-off in investment in the two processes. Here we tested whether experimentally depressing immune responsiveness of male BKW mice using antithymocyte serum (ATS) would lead to reduced learning performance in a radial maze task. Correct choices in the maze were indicat...
متن کاملDevelopment of Haplorchis taichui (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) in Mus musculus mice.
The development of Haplorchis taichui was studied in sixteen mice, Mus musculus. Metacercarial cysts of H. taichui were obtained from the freshwater fish, Thynnichthys thynnoides, collected in Chiang Mai Province, north Thailand. Approximately 200 active metacercariae were orally introduced into each mouse. Two mice were randomly sacrificed and necropsied daily from day 2-9 postinfection (pi). ...
متن کاملCompetitive ability in male house mice (Mus musculus): genetic influences.
Conspecifics of many animal species physically compete to gain reproductive resources and thus fitness. Despite the importance of competitive ability across the animal kingdom, specific traits that influence or underpin competitive ability are poorly characterized. Here, we investigate whether there are genetic influences on competitive ability within male house mice. Additionally, we examined ...
