Genic Variability in the Raccoon Procyon lotor

American Midland Naturalist, 1987
Starch-gel electrophoresis was used to study genic variation in the raccoon, Procyon lotor. Two hundred and forty-two specimens were analyzed from 14 localities in the United States. Polymorphism was observed at 10 of 23 loci, and mean heterozygosity varied from 0.07O to 4.37O. Results of F-statistic analyses indicated significant differentiation among

Vocal Communication in Raccoons (Procyon Lotor)

Behaviour, 1984
AbstractThe study describes structure, ontogeny and contexts of raccoon (Procyon lotor) vocalizations and investigates whether structure and motivation interplay in the way predicted by general motivation-structural rules (MORTON, 1977, 1982). Observations during a full reproductive cycle in a mixed group of captive raccoons indicate that they use an ...

Experimental Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Raccoons (Procyon lotor)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1993
