Characterization of Mauritius parakeet (Psittacula eques) microsatellite loci and their cross-utility in other parrots (Psittacidae, Aves). [PDF]

, 2009
We characterized 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the endangered Mauritius parakeet (Psittacula eques). Loci were isolated from a Mauritius parakeet genomic library that had been enriched separately for eight different repeat motifs.

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,

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.

Individual Identification of Prey in Carnivore Scats. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Noninvasive genetic sampling is widely used in ecology and conservation to identify predators and their diets but recovering individual‐level information from consumed prey remains largely unexplored. We evaluated whether individual prey can be reliably genotyped from carnivore scats and assessed limitations associated with degraded and mixed ...

Potential case of pseudo-hermaphroditism in Elk (Cervus canadensis) in Alberta, Canada

, 2020
Cases of true and pseudo-hermaphroditism, in which animals possess both ovaries and testes or have a single chromosomal and gonadal sex but secondary features of the other sex, have been documented in several cervids, including Odocoileus (deer) and ...

Experimental SARS-CoV-2 Infection of Elk and Mule Deer

Emerging Infectious Diseases
To assess the susceptibility of elk (Cervus canadensis) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) to SARS-CoV-2, we performed experimental infections in both species. Elk did not shed infectious virus but mounted low-level serologic responses.
