Methods for live-trapping beaver (Castor spp.)
Fauna NorvegicaEffective live-trapping of beaver (Castor spp.) has been and will continue to be necessary for introductions, re-introductions, translocation for the preservation of populations, removal of nuisance beaver, and to obtain animals for fur breeding ...

Some Energy Issues for a Nanoscale Electrostatic Potential Well in Saline Solutions
Chemosensors, 2020 An electrostatic potential well may be applied to trap and manipulate charged micro- and nanoparticles. An electrostatic potential well obtained from a certain charge distribution may be used to mimic the electrostatic interactions among biomolecules in ...

Surveillance of small rodents and related health risks in a game bird farm
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2007 Using live trapping devices we performed surveillance of small vertebrates in the game bird farm in Jinačovice in 2005 to 2006. The study was aimed at determining the species composition and numbers within individual technologies of rearing as well as ...

Euler buckling in red blood cells: An optically driven biological micromotor
, 2005 We investigate the physics of an optically-driven micromotor of biological origin. A single, live red blood cell, when placed in an optical trap folds into a rod-like shape. If the trapping laser beam is circularly polarized, the folded RBC rotates.

Reno “Live Trap” Loaning Program [PDF]
Proceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference, 2006 Author(s): La Combe, Jonathan | Abstract: A Live Trap Loaning Program has evolved to address urban wildlife problems in Reno, Nevada. The program, operated by USDA Wildlife Services, has responded to the public’s need to address urban wildlife problems in the absence of an active Wildlife Services specialist in this urban area.

Wild boar behaviour during live-trap capture in a corral-style trap: implications for animal welfare
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2020 Background Wildlife traps are used in many countries without evaluation of their effect on animal welfare. Trap-capture of wild animals should minimise negative effects on animal welfare, irrespective of whether the animals are trapped for hunting ...

Real‐time assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first single‐tube real‐time coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...

A new live trap for pocket gophers
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019 Live‐trapping is important for studying wildlife. In 2016 at Ordway‐Swisher Biological Station in Melrose, Florida, USA, we tested the efficacy of a modified pitfall trap designed to safely and effectively capture southeastern pocket gophers (Geomys ...
