The hypothesis that maternal effects act as an adaptive bridge in translating environments into offspring phenotypes, and thereby affecting population dynamics has not been studied the well-controlled fields. In this study, of density on stress axis, reproduction were root voles (Microtus oeconomus). Parental enclosures for breeding established by introducing six adults per sex each 4 (low density) 30 another (high enclosures. Live-trapping started 2 weeks after. Offspring captured at age...
Many animals show alarm responses (ARs) to chemical cues released from predators or injured conspecifics. However, the prey often makes a trade-off between predation avoidance and reproduction, resulting in pronounced sex differences AR sex-biased predation. This phenomenon has rarely been investigated snails. The freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata is reported exhibit an Here, we investigate its predator turtle Chinemys reevesii By exposing adult females males of equivalent size turtles,...
Abstract Individuals in poor physiological condition are known to be more susceptible infection that, once it occurs, further deteriorates the individuals' conditions, making them even and leading death. This vicious synergy between host has recently been proposed among key factors determining oscillation characteristics natural populations. Field studies that directly test such a hypothesis, however, currently scarce, traits involved remain largely unclear. In this field study, we...
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) often infects young chickens and causes severe immunosuppression inflammatory injury. Betaine is an antiviral anti-inflammatory ingredient that may exert functions through epigenetic regulation. However, the effects of betaine on IBDV-induced injury their underlying mechanisms have not been investigated. In this study, was supplemented to drinking water newly hatched commercial broilers for 3 wk. Afterward, were infected with IBDV. After 5 D infection,...
Studies demonstrated that chicken ghrelin mRNA was expressed in immune organs of chicken. However, it not known for its functions system. This study aimed to investigate the effects on infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV)-induced acute inflammatory and injury. Chickens were divided into 4 groups. One group used as control ("C"). The other three groups incubated with IBDV 19th d, which 2 injected intraperitoneally 0.5 nmol ("LG") or 1.0 ("HG") ghrelin/100g body weight from 18th 22nd...
The gastrointestinal parasites and their prevalence of infections in root voles, Microtus oeconomus Pallas, were studied the Haibei area, Qinghai Province, China. Feces collected from 196 voles for analysis intestinal coccidia; 37/196 (19%) infected with Eimeria wenrichi, 8/196 (8%) ochrogasteri, 2/196 (1%) saxei, 1/196 (0.5%) Isposora mexicanasubsimi. We necropsied 67 found 5 helminth species representing 1 nematode 4 cestodes species; these spirurid Mastophorus muris 9/67 (13%),...
We used a flotation technique to survey fecal samples from 27 Przewalski's gazelles ( Procapra przewalskii Büchner, 1891) for intestinal parasites. Samples were collected the Qinghai Lake region, Qinghai-Tibet plateau, China, in April 2015. report parasites belonging two nematode (Nematodirus, Marshallagia) genera and one apicomplexan (Eimeria) genus; of latter was new species critically endangered gazelle. Sporulated oocysts eimerian spheroidal; they had thick, outer wall without micropyle,...
Density dependence in reproduction plays an important role stabilizing population dynamics via immediate negative feedback from density to reproductive output. Although previous studies have shown that density-dependent is associated with strong spacing behavior and social interaction between individuals, the proximal mechanism for generating remains unclear. In this study, we investigated effects of density-induced stress on root voles. Enclosed founder populations were established by...
The literature shows that maternal stress can influence behavior and immune function in F1. Yet, most studies on these are from the laboratory, replicated mechanisms by which drives individual characteristics still not fully understood wild animals. We manipulated high- low-density parental population density using large-scale field enclosures examined traits. Within enclosures, we assessed anti-keyhole limpet hemocyanin immunoglobulin G (anti-KLH IgG) level, phytohemagglutinin (PHA)...
Abstract Background: In mammals, exposure to extreme temperature during pregnancy exert dramatic effects on adult offspring, especially reproductive functions. However, the studies long-term effect of maternal heat stress function offspring remains very scarce. The objective this study was, therefore, elucidate performance, hormones and morphometric parameters organs in offspring. Thirty pregnant female mice were divided into three equal groups: Control group (C), Moderate (MS) Heat (HS),...
