概括
灰狼捕食牛,造成人类与野生动物之间的冲突. 牛的毛皮质醇度 (HCC) 在狼的猎物中较低,这表明掠食风险并不总是意味着更高的压力.
科学领域:
- 野生动物生态学野生动物生态学
- 动物生理学 动物生理学
- 保护生物学 保护生物学
背景情况:
- 灰狼 (Canis lupus) 捕食牲畜,导致人狼冲突并影响狼的保护工作.
- 压力激素皮质醇是理解捕食者-猎物动态的潜在生物标志物.
研究的目的:
- 调查毛皮质醇度 (HCC) 是否可以作为灰狼捕食牛 (Bos taurus) 个人猎物选择的生物标志物.
主要方法:
- 来自活牛和狼猎物的头发样本中的皮质醇度使用酶相关免疫吸收试验进行测量.
- 线性混合模型被用来分析年龄,性别和食物可用性对HCC的影响,用农场作为随机效应.
主要成果:
- 与活牛相比,被狼猎杀的牛表现出明显较低的HCC.
- 在未成年牛群中,HCC的发生率低于成年牛群.
- HCC与成年牛的食物可用性有负相关,但在未成年牛中没有.
结论:
- 捕食风险可能与牛的长期生理压力没有直接关联.
- 具有较高慢性压力 (较高HCC) 的牛可能表现出更有效的反掠食行为.
- 食物的可用性影响了牛的食行为,可能会增加与狼的接触,并影响掠食模式.

Predator-Prey Interactions
21.5K
Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.

Hair Cells
44.9K
Hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system—they transduce mechanical sound waves into electrical energy that the nervous system can understand. Hair cells are located in the organ of Corti within the cochlea of the inner ear, between the basilar and tectorial membranes. The actual sensory receptors are called inner hair cells. The outer hair cells serve other functions, such as sound amplification in the cochlea, and are not discussed in detail here.

Range
14.1K
The range is one of the measures of variation. It can be defined as the difference between a dataset's highest and lowest values. For example, in the study of seven 16-ounce soda cans, the filled volume of soda was measured, thus producing the following amount (in ounces) of soda:
15.9; 16.1; 15.2; 14.8; 15.8; 15.9; 16.0; 15.5
Measurements of the amount of soda in a 16-ounce can vary since different subjects record these measurements or since the exact amount - 16 ounces of liquid, was not...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair and Hair Follicles
4.4K
Hair and hair follicles are integral components of the integumentary system. Hair is a filamentous structure composed mainly of a protein called keratin. It is found on the surface of the skin throughout the body, except for areas such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Hair is a keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis. It is primarily made of dead, keratinized cells. Hair strands originate at the epidermal penetration called the hair follicle. The hair shaft is the part...

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
2.7K
The coupling interactions of nuclei across four or more bonds are usually weak, with J values less than 1 Hz. While these are usually not observed in spectra, the presence of multiple bonds along the coupling pathway can result in observable long-range coupling.
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

Fixed Action Patterns
17.6K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.
