Subepidermal Vesiculobullous Filarial Dermatitis in Free-ranging American Badgers(Taxidea taxus)

Veterinary Pathology, 1993
Skin and superficial lymph nodes from the 65 juvenile (< 1 year old) and adult free-ranging American badgers (Taxidea taxus) of both sexes that were killed from late July to late October 1991 as part of the recovery program for the endangered black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) were examined for evidence of Filaria taxideae. Fifty-one badgers (51/

Seasonal serum urea-creatinine ratios in wild and captive american badgers, Taxidea taxus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1990
1. Blood samples were taken from 22 American badgers in the field during different seasons and analysed for urea and creatinine. 2. The urea-creatinine ratio (U/C) of these animals did not decrease during the winter as previously reported for black bears.

Hunting Associations between Badgers (Taxidea taxus) and Coyotes (Canis latrans)

Journal of Mammalogy, 1992
Coyotes ( Canis latrans ) associating with badgers ( Taxidea taxus ) appeared to hunt Uinta ground squirrels ( Spermophilus armatus ) more effectively than lone coyotes. Coyotes with badgers consumed prey at higher rates ( P = 0.09) and had an expanded habitat base and lower locomotion costs. Badgers with coyotes spent more time below ground and active

Badger (Taxidea taxus) disturbances increase soil heterogeneity in a degraded shrub-steppe ecosystem

Journal of Arid Environments, 2009
In the western United States, overgrazing, weed invasion and wildfire have resulted in the conversion of shrub-steppe to annual grasslands, with substantial effects on ecosystem function. In these landscapes, badgers disturb large areas of soil while foraging for fossorial animals.

Taxonomic Revision of the North American Badger, Taxidea taxus

Journal of Mammalogy, 1972
The taxonomy of Taxidea taxus is reviewed based on a study of approximately 1000 specimens. Four Recent subspecies are recognized. Their distributions are mapped. Clinal variation in T. t. taxus is discussed. Synonymies are provided, and comments on sexual dimorphism, individual variation, nomenclature, type-localities, speciation, and zoogeography are

Taxonomic Status of the Pleistocene Badger, Taxidea marylandica

American Midland Naturalist, 1964
The holotype of Taxidea marylandica, a Pleistocene fossil badger from Cumberland Cave, Maryland, has been listed twice by Gidley and Gazin as a distinct species. This fossil has also been placed by Hall and by Hall and Kelson in the synonymy of a Recent subspecies of badger, Taxidea taxus taxus. On the basis of examination of many North American Recent

THE PATHOLOGY OF Filaria taxideae (FILARIOIDEA: FILARIIDAE) INFECTION IN THE BADGER

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1971
A description is given of the cutaneous lesions associated with Filaria taxideae Keppner, 1970 infections in badgers, Taxidea taxus (Schreber, 1778), from Wyoming. Female F. taxideae migrated into the dermis of the host and deposited their ova beneath the epidermis.

Badger (Taxidea taxus) Resource Selection and Spatial Ecology in Intensive Agricultural Landscapes

The American Midland Naturalist, 2014
Abstract American badgers (Taxidea taxus) are a prairie obligate species, but badger resource selection and space use is poorly understood, particularly east of the Mississippi River where anthropogenic land uses have replaced most native prairie.
