Invasive alien species are among the major drivers of biodiversity loss, being destructive to native ecosystems, and human economy well-being. Despite their severe negative impact, tracking paths biological invasions distribution dynamics invasive species, as well assessing scope character interactions with resident can be difficult. An interesting case is naturalization American mink in Iceland, subsequent intensive culling accurate registration number killed by year area, providing...
In this paper, a complete mitochondrial genome of the critically endangered European mink Mustela lutreola L., 1761 is reported. The mitogenome was 16,504 bp in length and encoded typical 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes 22 transfer harboured putative control region. A+T content entire 60.06% (A > T C G), AT-skew GC-skew were 0.093 −0.308, respectively. encoding-strand identity their order consistent with collinear gene characteristic for vertebrate mitogenomes. start...
Despite the fact that structure of a forest, its vegetation composition and species diversity in tree stands are among key factors shaping avian communities forests general, there few studies on this topic relating to deciduous Central East-Central Europe. The aim present study was therefore investigate relationship between forest occurrence common chaffinch Fringilla coelebs, wood warbler Phylloscopus sibilatrix, chiffchaff collybita Eurasian blackcap Sylvia atricapilla, also habitat...
Abstract Despite recent local reintroductions of the Eurasian lynx Lynx in central and north-eastern Poland, increase its population was not followed by westward expansion. To address this problem restore north-western 61 captive-born individuals Baltic origin were released province Western Pomerania 2019–2021. Prior to their release, all animals underwent an adaptation training phase. They then set free according a hard-release protocol subsequently monitored means GPS telemetry. In order...
Abstract The effect of urbanization is often reflected both in lotic and lentic habitats, through changes diversity structural compositional macroinvertebrate communities. In this study, we focused on assemblage ecosystems the Krąpiel River catchment area (NW Poland) with following aims: (1) to determine main driver structuring communities factors that influence them urban versus rural landscapes; (2) test whether assemblages lotic/lentic lower than (3) identify characteristic species for...
The European mink Mustela lutreola (Mustelidae) ranks among the most endangered mammalian species globally, experiencing a rapid and severe decline in population size, density, distribution. Given critical need for effective conservation strategies, understanding its genomic characteristics becomes paramount. To address this challenge, platinum-quality, chromosome-level reference genome assembly was successfully generated under project of Mink Centre consortium. Leveraging PacBio HiFi long...
The purpose of this review is to present the current state knowledge about genetics American mink (Neovison vison Schreb., 1777) - a species that achieved in twentieth century an unprecedented ecological success associated with dynamic development its economic use. However, despite large popularity and importance as fur animal, scale problems introduction beyond range natural occurrence, genetic research, particularly molecular genomics species, show relatively little progress. article...
Preparation and properties of composites consisting two continuous interpenetrating phases, at least one them is the polymer phase, are presented.Three different kinds such discussed: polymer-polymer (PVC-PMMA), polymer-mineral (PMMA-gypsum) polymer-metal (PVC-Wood alloy).Composites were prepared by filling porous matrix made component with other in liquid state which was then solidified polymerization (PMMA) or cooling (Wood alloy).The obtained characterized mainly mechanical testing,...
Polar and subpolar regions are known for their particular vulnerability sensitivity to the detrimental effects of non-indigenous species, which is well exemplified by Nootka lupin (Lupinus nootkatensis) spread in Iceland. Since understanding population ecological genetics invasive alien species offers hope counteracting harmful biological invasions, objective present study was investigate interspecific variation L. nootkatensis Iceland relation a native Alaska. Moreover, we aimed assess...
Abstract This study provides a comprehensive, population‐scale analysis of the mitogenome critically endangered European mink, Mustela lutreola , involving 52 individuals from Russia, Germany (conservation breeding stock), Romania, and France‐Spain. Significant mitogenomic diversity was identified within previously presumed genetically homogenous French‐Spanish population, challenging concerns inbreeding. Despite having lower nucleotide ( π = 0.00024) than German 0.00055) Russian 0.00048)...
Background Recurring escapes or deliberate releases and subsequent infiltration establishment of feral populations by individuals from fur farms have been commonly noted since the beginning industry expansion. Once animals invaded ecosystems adjacent to source escapees can change demography through hybridization, outbreeding depression, competition spreading various pathogens which decimate wild populations. In our study, we aimed assess spread Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) in...
Despite the fact, that American mink (Neovison vison) is one of most intensively economically exploited and problematic, from ecological point view, fur-bearing animal, it remains least studied livestock species. It can be proven by research on key hormones, which has systemic effects, growth hormone, are rather poorly advanced. The purpose this review to present summary critical analysis current state knowledge topic hormone in mink, its biological function, production physiological...
Conservation genetics is a subdicipline of conservation biology which deals with the extinction risk and many other problems nature by using genetic tools techniques. very good example practical use scientific achievements in protection. Although its name seems to be self-defining, specific area interest, conceptual apparatus methodological workshop are not widely known recognizable. The purpose this review clarify any ambiguities inconsistencies respect. It explore what genetics, research...
American mink Neovison vison is one of the most harmful non-indigenous species in Iceland and has been proven to be a useful indirect bioindicator biomonitor for numerous environmental pollutants. Therefore, main objective study was determine total nickel concentration spleen 35 females 30 males obtained from Brokey archipelago south coast Hvammsfjörður (Dalabyggð, Iceland) using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy. We also assessed correlation between selected anatomical...
