A molecular reevaluation of Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii) subspecies of New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas
No full textModern advancements in sequencing technology now allow for fine scale analyses of genetically distinct populations to test subspecific boundaries at a genetic level. Despite these advances, many avian subspecies have not undergone reevaluation since their morphologically-based designation decades ago. The Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii) is a small wren species in North America currently subdivided into 15 recognized subspecies. These designations have been questioned because some specimens used in the original designations suffered from foxing or were soiled skins, necessitating reassessment. Of the described subspecies, four occur across Texas, Oklahoma, and eastern New Mexico (T. b. pulichi, T. b. cryptus, T. b. eremophilus, and T. b. sadai). Population structure among these subspecies was tested using a combination of molecular methods; screening genomic DNA for single nucleotide polymorphisms, and sequencing of the ND2 mitochondrial gene. Across New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas 68 individuals were captured and sampled. Analysis of population structure using the program STRUCTURE found the populations of Bewick's wrens within the study area to be a panmictic population with little genetic structuring. Construction of a haplotype network generated based on the ND2 gene suggested two distinct clusters across the study area with all birds in Oklahoma, Texas, and eastern New Mexico clustering together and birds in New Mexico west of the Rio Grande representing a second cluster
The effect of condensed tannins on immune response in beef cattle
No full textSelection for nutrients alone is likely insufficient to account for highly variable ruminant diets. Selection for plant secondary compounds may occur to rectify deficiencies and even self-medicate. This study investigates the relationship between condensed tannins and immune response. Twenty angus heifers were randomly assigned treatment groups. All heifers were offered 4% body weight in feed, daily. Treatment feed contained 6% grape/blueberry pomace as a source of tannins. Intake was measured for the duration of the trial (21 days). On day 15, heifers were vaccinated with modified-live IBR/BVD vaccine. Body temperatures and blood (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and immunoglobulins) were collected pre/post-inoculation. Treatment group intake was higher post-inoculation (P ? 0.05). Blood data and average daily gain were similar among treatments. A significant, though apparently artifactual, group-day interaction was observed for body temperature. While a relationship between condensed tannins and immune cells/antibody production was not established, intake results suggest tannins may still be relevant
