Background: Even with numerous successful Trap-Neuter-Release programs, feral cat populations continue to grow. Our laboratory is interested in determining if an underlying biological cause exists for the exuberant reproductive success in this once domestic subspecies. An earlier age for developing reproductive capacity (onset of spermatogenesis in males) may be one...

Optimal and sustainable fisheries industry can only be achieved with proper planning through
the implementation of appropriate management instruments as well. Fisheries resources
accounting is one of the planning instruments, which should be used as a main reference of
Fisheries Management Plan. In general, fisheries accounting provide insights for policy...

Brucellosis is a disease of veterinary and public health importance worldwide. In sub-
Saharan Africa, where this disease has been detected in several free-ranging wildlife species,
successful disease control may be dependent on accurate detection in wildlife reservoirs,
including African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). This study estimates the sensitivity and specificity...

Reproductive success is one of the most easily-measured and widely studied demographic parameters of
colonial nesting seabirds. Nevertheless, factors affecting the sequential stages (egg laying, incubation, chick-rearing)
of reproductive success are less understood. We investigated the separate sequential stages
of reproductive success in piscivorous black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) and thick-billed...

To examine the influence of forest management on wildlife immunity, the innate immune system of wild deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) inhabiting forest plots of different management intensities in the Oregon coast range was measured by bactericidal assay. Bactericidal activity was compared across three management levels, including 40-50 year old forest...

1. Chronic infections may have negative impacts on wildlife populations, yet their effects are difficult to detect in the absence of long-term population monitoring. Brucella abortus, the bacteria responsible for bovine brucellosis, causes chronic infections and abortions in wild and domestic ungulates, but its impact on population dynamics is not...

Consuming cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli sprouts, kale, Brussels sprouts, and bok choy is associated with several health benefits, such as a decreased risk of certain cancers. Cruciferous vegetables contain the glucosinolate, glucoraphanin (GFN). Cutting, chopping or chewing these vegetables releases the enzyme myrosinase, which transforms GFN into sulforaphane (SFN)....
