Living with liver flukes: Does migration matter?

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Migration is typically thought to be an evolved trait driven by responses to forage or predation, but recent studies have demonstrated avoidance of parasitism can also affect success of migratory tactics within a population.

Genome-wide study on genetic diversity and phylogeny of five species in the genus Cervus

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Previous investigations of phylogeny in Cervus recovered many clades without whole genomic support. Methods In this study, the genetic diversity and phylogeny of 5 species (21 subspecies/populations from C. unicolor, C. albirostris, C. nippon,

Genetic variability of the prion protein gene (PRNP) in wild ruminants from Italy and Scotland [PDF]

, 2009
The genetics of the prion protein gene (PRNP) play a crucial role in determining the relative susceptibility to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in several mammalian species.

Cross-species characterisation of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis). [PDF]

, 2009
Nineteen microsatellite loci developed for the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) and 15 loci developed for the North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) were tested for ease of amplification and degree of polymorphism on a set of 20 giant otter ...

Wherever I may roam — human activity alters movements of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and elk (Cervus canadensis) across two continents

, 2023
Human activity and associated landscape modifications alter the movements of animals with consequences for populations and ecosystems worldwide. Species performing long-distance movements are thought to be particularly sensitive to human impact.

New Record of Terminal Pleistocene Elk/Wapiti (Cervus canadensis) from Ohio, USA [PDF]

, 2021
The earliest appearance of elk/wapiti (Cervus canadensis) in eastern North America is not thoroughly documented due to the small number of directly dated remains. Until recently, no absolute dates on elk bone older than 10,000 14C yr BP (11,621 to 11,306

Identifying the habitat connectivity of Wapiti (Cervus canadensis) in Mongolia

Proceedings of the Institute of Biology, 2022
Habitat loss and fragmentation are serious threats to biodiversity worldwide. In the different mountain ranges of Mongolia, we evaluated the habitat connectivity of Wapiti, aiming to provide insights for support to population conservation. By using Wapiti occurrence data and seven variables related to climatic, geographic, and anthropogenic factors ...
