The consequences of acute cold exposure on protein oxidation and proteasome activity in short-tailed field voles, microtus agrestis.
During cold exposure, animals upregulate their metabolism and food intake, potentially exposing them to elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative damage. We investigated whether acute cold (7 +/- 3 degrees C) exposure (1, 10, or 100 h duration) affected protein oxidation and proteasome activity, when compared to warm controls (22 +/- 3 degrees C), in a small mammal model, ...
متن کاملChanges over time in the spatiotemporal dynamics of cyclic populations of field voles (Microtus agrestis L.).
We demonstrate changes over time in the spatial and temporal dynamics of an herbivorous small rodent by analyzing time series of population densities obtained at 21 locations on clear cuts within a coniferous forest in Britain from 1984 to 2004. Changes had taken place in the amplitude, periodicity, and synchrony of cycles and density-dependent feedback on population growth rates. Evidence for ...
متن کاملThe impact of experimentally elevated energy expenditure on oxidative stress and lifespan in the short-tailed field vole Microtus agrestis.
Life-history theory assumes that animal life histories are a consequence of trade-offs between current activities and future reproductive performance or survival, because resource supply is limited. Empirical evidence for such trade-offs in the wild are common, yet investigations of the underlying mechanisms are rare. Life-history trade-offs may have both physiological and ecological mediated c...
متن کاملFrom the animal house to the field: Are there consistent individual differences in immunological profile in wild populations of field voles (Microtus agrestis)?
Inbred mouse strains, living in simple laboratory environments far removed from nature, have been shown to vary consistently in their immune response. However, wildlife populations are typically outbreeding and face a multiplicity of challenges, parasitological and otherwise. In this study we seek evidence of consistent difference in immunological profile amongst individuals in the wild. We app...
متن کاملOntogenetic changes of ultrasonic vocalizations emitted from infant rats.
Ontogenetic changes of USVs were investigated to establish an index of stress in infant rats. The USVs were obtained by exposing infant rats to cold stress and were analyzed by real-time spectrography. USV waveforms consisted of four types, R-I, II, III and IV. These USVs were closely monitored at the age of 3-7 days in both sexes. From day 14, the frequency and incidence of USVs gradually decr...
