The wild male mink as a sentinel for endocrine-disrupting chemicals and reproductive toxicity [PDF]
, 2013 Increasing evidence indicates that pollutants may affect the hormone system of humans and wildlife. These endocrine-disrupting chemicals are related to an increased risk of a variety of diseases and disorders, including adverse effects on the ...

Mandible shape variation and feeding biomechanics in minks
Scientific Reports, 2022 European and American minks are very similar in ecology, behavior and morphology. Both species hunt terrestrial vertebrates and aquatic prey, but the American mink is a more generalist predator which, among other factors, allows it to outcompete the ...

Mapping of 53 Loci in American Mink (Mustela vison) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2003 Fifty-three genes were mapped in the American mink genome using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based analysis of a Chinese hamster-American mink somatic cell hybrid panel. Heterologous primers designed for cat gene mapping were used in this study.

Ultrastructure and nanomorphology of the American mink (mustela vison) kidney
Доклады Академии наук, 2019 The ultrastructure of the nephron subcellular organelles was studied in healthy mink kidneys. The data obtained were compared with the results of transmission electron microscopy. The renal cell nanomorphology proved to be similar when electronograms and the atomic force microscopy images were analyzed.

Genomic analyses for feed efficiency traits in American mink
, 2023 Feed efficiency is a key factor in the economic outcomes of mink production systems, as the cost of feed accounts for the largest portion of their variable expenses. So far, the Canadian mink industry has relied solely on phenotypic selection as its main
