On February 24, 2010 Dawn Brancheau, a Seaworld Orlando trainer was killed after a 12,300-lb. killer whale attacked her during a “Dine with Shamu” show. The whale, Tilikum, reportedly yanked Brancheau by her ponytail and dragged her down to the bottom of the pool. Witnesses stated that...
BACKGROUND: Data on spatial genetic patterns may provide information about the ecological and behavioural mechanisms underlying population structure. Indeed, social organization and dispersal patterns of species may be reflected by the pattern of genetic structure within a population. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FI...

In the wild, the nest provides an environment that supports the bird with it legs under its body, feet under the chest, and body weight centered in the back, knees, and lower coelomic cavity. The curved sides of the nest give the body this support and allow the nestling to push against...
Background Throughout their range, red deer are a well-studied species. In Italy, this species occupies two ecologically different ranges: the Alps and the Apennines. Although several studies have described the spatial behaviour of red deer in the Italian Alps, no data are available for the ...
methods identified no B.1.641 branches with evidence of episodic diversifying positive selection relative to background B.1 branches. Interestingly, the ORF1ab analysis identified significant relaxation of selection amongst the white-tailed deer lineage (P = 0.0032). These signatures of neutrality ...
number of surviving femaleI. scapularis(r2 = 0.2057;P < 0.0260) andA. americanum(r2 = 0.3573;P < 0.0020) per deer. However, tick survivorship appeared to decrease exponentially rather than linearly in response to elevatedCp, with no female ticks surviving whenCpin plasma was...
Careful female selection for entry into an AI program is essential for acceptable results. The ideal females to select are the ones with a strong genetic background, calm temperament, who have produced calves every year, without calving problems and without any strange abnormalities in the pelvic ...

Front leg marking was seen by us in only one adult male with velvet antlers. Both semi-captive (our own observations) and free-ranging pampas deer [83] perform this behaviour with the tail up and curved over the back. The male then frequently urinates the recently marked ground, resulting...
