Is cosmetic tail surgery in dogs ethical?

Creator:: Henneford, Lauren E.
Abstract:: As tail docking bans are sweeping Europe, Australia, and South Africa, the United States is facing increased scrutiny on whether or not the procedure should be permitted. Many European countries are reestablishing breed standards to allow dogs of natural composition to be shown, unlike most major U.S. shows. The American...

Switching Hemispheres: A New Migration Strategy for the Disjunct Argentinean Breeding Population of Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)

Creator:: Garcia-Perez, Belen, Hobson, Keith A., Powell, Rebecca L., Still, Christopher J., and Huber, Gernot H.
Abstract:: Background: Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica) breed almost exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere. However, since the early 1980's, a small disjunct breeding population has become established in eastern Argentina, presumably by birds previously derived from those breeding in North America. Currently, it is unknown where these individuals go following breeding and...

Factors affecting female space use in ten populations of prairie chickens

Creator:: Winder, Virginia L., Carrlson, Kaylan M., Gregory, Andrew J., Hagen, Christian A., Haukos, David A., Kesler, Dylan C., Larsson, Lena C., Matthews, Ty W., McNew, Lance B., Patten, Michael A., Pitman, Jim C., Powell, Larkin A., Smith, Jennifer A., Thompson, Tom, Wolfe, Donald H., and Sandercock, Brett K.
Abstract:: Conservation of wildlife depends on an understanding of the interactions between animal movements and key landscape factors. Habitat requirements of wide-ranging species often vary spatially, but quantitative assessment of variation among replicated studies at multiple sites is rare. We investigated patterns of space use for 10 populations of two closely...

A bioenergetics model to evaluate demographic consequences of disturbance in marine mammals applied to gray whales

Creator:: Villegas-Amtmann, S., Schwarz, L. K., Sumich, J. L., and Costa, D. P.
Abstract:: While sophisticated tools are used to monitor behavioral changes of large marine vertebrates, determining whether these changes are meaningful for management and conservation is challenging. The Population Consequences of Disturbance model proposed a bioenergetics model to detect biologically meaningful population responses, where disturbance costs are linked to lost energy. The...

Adaptive genetic markers discriminate migratory runs of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) amid continued gene flow

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G., Jacobson, Dave P., Kurth, Ryon, Dill, Allen J., and Banks, Michael A.
Abstract:: Neutral genetic markers are routinely used to define distinct units within species that warrant discrete management. Human-induced changes to gene flow however may reduce the power of such an approach. We tested the efficiency of adaptive versus neutral genetic markers in differentiating temporally divergent migratory runs of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus...

Selenium Supplementation Restores Innate and Humoral Immune Responses in Footrot-Affected Sheep

Creator:: Hall, Jean A., Vorachek, William R., Stewart, Whitney C., Gorman, M. Elena, Mosher, Wayne D., Pirelli, Gene J., and Bobe, Gerd
Abstract:: Dietary selenium (Se) alters whole-blood Se concentrations in sheep, dependent upon Se source and dosage administered, but little is known about effects on immune function. We used footrot (FR) as a disease model to test the effects of supranutritional Se supplementation on immune function. To determine the effect of Se-source...

Roles of brca2 (fancd1) in Oocyte Nuclear Architecture, Gametogenesis, Gonad Tumors, and Genome Stability in Zebrafish

Creator:: Rodriguez-Mari, Adriana, Wilson, Catherine, Titus, Tom A., Canestro, Cristian, BreMiller, Ruth A., Yan, Yi-Lin, Nanda, Indrajit, Johnston, Adam, Kanki, John P., Gray, Erin M., He, Xinjun, Spitsbergen, Jan, Schindler, Detlev, and Postlethwait, John H.
Abstract:: Mild mutations in BRCA2 (FANCD1) cause Fanconi anemia (FA) when homozygous, while severe mutations cause common cancers including breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers when heterozygous. Here we report a zebrafish brca2 insertional mutant that shares phenotypes with human patients and identifies a novel brca2 function in oogenesis. Experiments showed that...

Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century

Creator:: Losos, Jonathan B., Arnold, Stevan J., Bejerano, Gill, Brodie, E. D. III, Hibbett, David, Hoekstra, Hopi E., Mindell, David P., Monteiro, Antonia, Moritz, Craig, Orr, H. Allen, Petrov, Dmitri A., Renner, Susanne S., Ricklefs, Robert E., Soltis, Pamela S., and Turner, Thomas L.
Abstract:: We live in an exciting time for biology. Technological advances have made data collection easier and cheaper than we could ever have imagined just 10 years ago. We can now synthesize and analyze large data sets containing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and multivariate phenotypes. At the same time, society's need for...

The α-Tocopherol Transfer Protein Is Essential for Vertebrate Embryogenesis

Creator:: Miller, Galen W., Ulatowski, Lynn, Labut, Edwin M., Lebold, Katie M., Manor, Danny, Atkinson, Jeffrey, Barton, Carrie L., Tanguay, Robert L., and Traber, Maret G.
Abstract:: The hepatic α-tocopherol transfer protein (TTP) is required for optimal α-tocopherol bioavailability in humans; mutations in the human TTPA gene result in the heritable disorder ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED, OMIM #277460). TTP is also expressed in mammalian uterine and placental cells and in the human embryonic yolk-sac, underscoring...

Evaluating testcross performance and genetic divergence of lines derived from reciprocal tropical maize composites

Creator:: Menkir, Abebe, Kling, Jennifer G., Anjorin, Bamyo, Ladejobi, Funmilayo, and Gedil, Melaku
Abstract:: The development of hybrids with enhanced expression of heterosis depends on the genetic background of the source population and the effectiveness of a breeding scheme used to identify and use divergent inbred lines with good combining ability. The present study was conducted to examine the potential of improved tropical reciprocal...
