Genetic control of PI and GC variants in the American Mink

Animal Genetics, 1995
SummaryGenetic polymorphism of the serum α‐protease inhibitor (PI) and group‐specific component (GC) in minks was revealed using one‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Two codominant alleles were identified at each of the two loci.

Zoonotic Pathogens in the American Mink in Its Southernmost Distribution

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2019
The American mink, Neovison vison , is an invasive species in Chile. Its impact on native fauna and public health has not been studied in depth in the country. In this study, we searched for gastrointestinal parasites, including helminths and zoonotic Cryptosporidium

The American Mink Mustela vison in Ireland

Mammal Review, 1988
AbstractThe American Mink Mustela vison was first introduced into Ireland in 1951 for commercial fur–farming and has successfully established itself in the wild from escaped stock. Initial concentrations of feral populations were in the north, north–west and in the Midlands, with scattered introductions in the south–west of the country.

Development of vocalization and hearing in American mink (Neovison vison).

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013
Summary American mink (Neovison vison) kits are born altricial and fully dependent 40 on maternal care, for which the kits' vocalisations appear essential. We used Auditory Brainstem Recording (ABR) to determine (1) hearing sensitivity of adult females from two breeding lines known to differ in maternal behaviour and (2) development of ...

American Mink in Europe

2017
American minks were introduced to fur farms in Northern Europe in the late 1920s and 1930s, and escapees have established a feral population that now stretches from the Nordic countries to NW Russia, the Baltic states, Poland, and Belarus. This northern population is still expanding its territory, entering into Germany from the east, Ukraine from the ...

The American Mink, Mustela vison

1975
The American mink is not a laboratory animal, but it is of considerable economic importance; not, strictly, in a utilitarian sense, but rather on the level of production of luxuriant pelts. As such, the animal might have remained in a genetic backwater if not for the event of mutant colors, which were an almost instant success.

[The visualization of the pronuclei in zygotes of the American mink].

Ontogenez, 1997
Visualization of the pronuclei in optically nontransparent mink zygotes was achieved after centrifugation at 15,000 g. Under these conditions, the lipid fraction was concentrated in the light hemisphere of the zygote, while the pronuclei were localized in the equatorial area.

Do American mink kill European mink? Cautionary message for future recovery efforts

European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2013
An experimental release of the European mink (Mustela lutreola) was carried out in the Salburua wetland in North Spain between 2008 and 2010. A partial removal of feral American mink (Neovison vison) was done preceding the release. The survival and the cause of death of each of 27 captive-bred minks were studied during five months after release.

American Mink on the Small Rivers of the Sikhote-Alin

Russian Journal of Biological Invasions, 2019
This paper reports the results of stationary studies on the ecology of the American mink (Neovison vison Schreb.) on three small rivers of the Sikhote-Alin region from 2003 to 2018. The population density in the field stations range from 0.4 to 2.2 individuals per 1 km of watercourse.

Present Distribution of North American Mink in Norway

Journal of Mammalogy, 1956
The mink ( Mustela vison Schreb.) was imported from North America to fur farms in Norway in the last parts of the 1920's. Animals that have escaped from fur farms have founded stocks of wild minks now inhabiting extensive parts of our country. The author has earlier given a detailed account of the occurrence of the species in Norway up to 1948 (fauna,
