GENETIC EVIDENCE OF DIFFERENTIAL DISPERSAL PATTERN IN THE ASIATIC WILD DOG: COMPARING TWO POPULATIONS WITH DIFFERENT PACK SIZES

Genetic evidence of differential dispersal pattern in the Asiatic wild dog: Comparing two populations with different pack sizes

IntroductionDispersal is a multi-causal, crucial life-history event in shaping the genetic and behavioral structure of mammals.We assessed the dispersal pattern of dholes aka Asiatic wild dog (Cuon alpinus), a social monogamous mammal at two tiger reserves of Maharashtra with different degrees of pack size and competition with tigers i.e.Tadoba-And

Composition, Succession, and Source Tracking of Microbial Communities throughout the Traditional Production of a Farmstead Cheese

ABSTRACT Prior to the advent of milk pasteurization and the use of defined-strain starter cultures, the production and ripening of cheese relied on the introduction and growth of adventitious microbes from the environment.This study characterized microbial community structures throughout a traditional farmstead cheese production continuum and evalu
