Caretta caretta is the most common sea turtle species in Mediterranean Sea. The threatened by anthropomorphic activity that causes thousands of deaths and hundreds strandings along coast. Stranded turtles are often cared for rehabilitation centres until they recover or die. objective this study was to characterize gut microbiome nine stranded Sicilian coast Sea using high-throughput sequencing analysis targeting V3–V4 regions bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Stool samples were collected from eight...
Abstract Cognitive bias is defined as the influence of emotions on cognitive processes. The concept judgement has its origins in human psychology but been applied to animals over past 2 decades. In this study we were interested determining if laterality and personality traits, which are known learning style, might also be correlated with a three-spined sticklebacks ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ). We used test go/no-go procedure where fish first trained discriminate between black white card and,...
Microbes have central roles in the development and health of animals, being introduction specific microbial species a potential conservation strategy to protect animals from emerging diseases. Thus, insight into microbiota their habitats is essential. In this manuscript, we report for first time bacterial composition all components (eggshells hatched unhatched eggs, internal content intestinal hatchling pipping sea turtles, sand) three nesting beaches Caretta caretta along Italian coasts...
Several factors affect the development of lateralization such as hormones and light exposure during early development. Laterality also often correlates with other behavioral traits. To examine whether there is a common mechanism underlying laterality behaviors, we manipulated by exposing embryos Western rainbowfish (Melatotaenia australis) to or continuous darkness determined shift in was associated change behavior novel environment test at two different ages. We found that eggs led...
