EVIDENCE FOR AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN POST-FLEDGING DISPERSAL AND MICROSATELLITE MULTILOCUS HETEROZYGOSITY IN A LARGE POPULATION OF GREATER FLAMINGOS.

Evidence for an association between post-fledging dispersal and microsatellite multilocus heterozygosity in a large population of greater flamingos.

Dispersal can be divided into three stages: departure, transience and settlement.Despite the fact that theoretical studies have emphasized the importance of heterozygosity on dispersal strategies, empirical evidence of its effect on different stages of dispersal is lacking.Here, using multi-event capture-mark-recapture models, we show a negative as

Immune Responses in the Eye-Associated Lymphoid Tissues of Chickens after Ocular Inoculation with Vaccine and Virulent Strains of the Respiratory Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus (ILTV)

Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is an acute respiratory disease of poultry caused by infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV).Control of the disease with live attenuated vaccines administered via eye drop build upon immune responses generated by the eye-associated lymphoid tissues.The aim of this study was to assess cytokine and lymphocyte chan
