Conservation of Mitochondrial Dna in Fast Enzyme-macerated Skeletal Material
The current study investigates the conservation of mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) from skeletal material prepared by enzyme maceration. Ten individuals of Stone Marten (Martes foina) were enzyme-macerated using a mixture of protease and lipase. After using a fast enzyme preparation method the skeletal material was stored for two years in order to see if degradation of DNA had taken place. As warm-wat...
متن کاملPilo consistent with tularemia ) without classic pathological lesions Martes foina infection in a stone marten
The current report describes the isolation and typing of a strain of Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, from the spleen of a stone marten (Martes foina) showing no classic lesions consistent with the disease. The identification of this bacterium, belonging to the World Health Organization risk 3 category and considered to have a low infectious dose, could be performed onl...
متن کاملSystemic AL amyloidosis in a Beech Marten (Martes foina).
A wild Beech Marten (Martes foina), was referred for necropsy to the Department of Animal Pathology of the University of Turin (Italy). At gross examination, whitish and firm masses, 10-mm in diameter, were found on the heart and in the kidney. Spleen showed lighter color and greater consistency, and the cut surface of the liver appeared scattered with whitish-yellow coalescing foci homogeneous...
متن کاملSpatial distribution models in a frugivorous carnivore , the stone marten ( Martes foina ) : is the fl eshy - fruit availability a useful predictor ?
Fleshy-fruit availability is rarely used as a predictor in stone marten ( Martes foina ) habitat models, despite its frugivorous carnivore diet. Data on stone marten occurrence, habitat structure and fl eshy-fruit species abundance was collected along 2 km long survey routes within 2 x 2 km sample plots (n = 30). Two different spatial scales were considered: 1) the entire survey route; and 2) 2...
متن کاملInferring Population Genetic Structure in Widely and Continuously Distributed Carnivores: The Stone Marten (Martes foina) as a Case Study
The stone marten is a widely distributed mustelid in the Palaearctic region that exhibits variable habitat preferences in different parts of its range. The species is a Holocene immigrant from southwest Asia which, according to fossil remains, followed the expansion of the Neolithic farming cultures into Europe and possibly colonized the Iberian Peninsula during the Early Neolithic (ca. 7,000 y...
