Steroid metabolism by badger (Taxidea taxus) ovarian tissue homogenates
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1969Tissue homogenates of badger (Taxidea taxus) ovaries and corpora lutea have been incubated with 7α-3H-pregnenolone together with either 4-14C-androstenedione or 4-14C-dehydroepiandrosterone substrates. Ovarian tissue from nonpregnant animals metabolized androstenedione very little, and 95% was recovered unchanged after a 3-hr incubation.

Taxonomic Revision of the North American Badger, Taxidea taxus
Journal of Mammalogy, 1972The 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

Use of Buspirone and Enrichment to Manage Aberrant Behavior in an American Badger (Taxidea taxus).
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2005A captive adult female American badger (Taxidea taxus) suffered periodic episodes of agitation and self-mutilation over the course of its lifetime. Initially environmental enrichment curtailed the aberrant behavior; however, intensifying clinical signs periodically required the use of diazepam for amelioration of the problem.

Hunting Associations Between Badgers (Taxidea taxus) and Coyotes (Canis latrans)
Journal of Mammalogy, 1992Coyotes ( 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

THE PATHOLOGY OF Filaria taxideae (FILARIOIDEA: FILARIIDAE) INFECTION IN THE BADGER
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1971A 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.

The Southeasternmost Record of the Badger (Taxidea taxus) in Kansas
Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (1903-), 1985The North American Badger, Taxidea taxus taxus (Schreber), has been collected throughout the state of Kansas, with the exception of the eastern tier of counties (Hall, 1955). Cockrum (1952) recorded the unpublished account of Kellogg and Householder as having interviewed a man that, in 1885, killed a badger in Cherokee County, the southeasternmost ...

Taxonomic Status of the Pleistocene Badger, Taxidea marylandica
American Midland Naturalist, 1964The 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
