Pentobarbital anaesthesia in the Herring and Lesser Black-backed Gull.
نویسنده
چکیده
A procedure for long lasting general anaesthesia in gulls (LaTus sp.) is described. It is based on an initial basal intramuscular dose of pentobarbital sodium, supplemented if necessary by intravenous injection to effect of the same agent. Additional intramuscular pentobarbital is used to extend the duration of anaesthesia. The labile respiration of the birds is supported with oxygen. In cases of respiratory failure, intravenous methetharimide is an effective reactivator. A survival rate of better than 95 per cent has been achieved with this method in gulls undergoing neurosurgery for 2-3 hr.

Herring gulls Larus argentatus and lesser black-backed gulls Larus fuscus breeding at Walney Island, Cumbria, the largest breeding colony of the two species in the UK, have recently shown very different population trends. The former has declined sharply, whereas numbers of the latter have been maintained for several years. Here we compare aspects of the feeding and breeding ecology of the two s...

Gulls were assessed as sentinels of contamination in the coastal zone of the Southern Baltic, research material being obtained from dead birds collected on Polish beaches and near fishing ports in 2009-2012. In feathers and blood of four gull species: herring gull (Larus argentatus), common gull (Larus canus), black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus), and great black-backed gull (Larus ma...
متن کاملThe herring gull complex is not a ring species.
Under what circumstances speciation in sexually reproducing animals can occur without geographical disjunction is still controversial. According to the ring-species model, a reproductive barrier may arise through 'isolation by distance' when peripheral populations of a species meet after expanding around some uninhabitable barrier. The classical example of this kind of speciation is the herring...
