| the pineal gland of the mole (talpa europaea l.). | the ultrastructure of the pinealocytes in the fetal mole (talpa europaea) was examined and compared with that in the adult mole. the parenchyma of the fetal pineal gland consists primarily of pinealocytes with very few dispersed "glial" cells. three different morphological types of pinealocytes (i, ii and iii) were observed. pinealocytes of types i and ii, homologous to the rudimentary photoreceptor cells of lacertilians and birds, were commonly found, especially around the pineal lumen, which i ... | 1980 | 7388898 |
| apical protuberances of supporting cells in the regio olfactoria of the mole, talpa europaea, linnaeus, 1758 (insectivora, talpidae). | the regio olfactoria of the mole, talpa europaea, was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. peculiar structural differentiations, i.e. ovoid-shaped, balloon-like protuberances were found on the surface of the supporting cells. the apical portion of these protuberances contained finely dispersed granular material, whereas in their central part vesicular extensions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum were observed. | 1978 | 719712 |
| seasonal changes in testosterone levels and androgen-dependent organs in male moles (talpa europaea). | seasonal changes in testicular and plasma testosterone levels and in androgen-dependent organs were determined in moles breeding at 53 degrees n. although the testes contain up to 30 times more testosterone during spermatogenesis than during sexual quiescence, appreciable quantities of this hormone are present during late summer and early autumn. annual spermatogenesis lasts for only 2 months, but in some moles spermatozoa remain in the epididymis for up to 3 months after the testes have begun t ... | 1978 | 633203 |
| the organization of testicular interstitial tissue and changes in the fine structure of the leydig cells of european moles (talpa europaea) throughout the year. | seasonal changes of the testicular interstitial tissue were studied by electron microscopy. during the breeding season in spring, clusters of leydig cells are surrounded by wide lymphatic sinusoids. in sexually quiescent moles, these sinusoids collapse, and the abundant leydig cells become closely packed and occupy most of the testis. during sexual activity, the leydig cells contain abundant smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ser), mitochondria with tubular cristae, and lipid droplets. some areas of ... | 1978 | 633202 |
| distribution and abundance of moles (talpa europaea l.) in relation to physical habitat and food supply. | the distribution and population density of the mole (talpa europaea l.) and its main food item, earthworms (lumbricidae) were determined in relation to physical habitat factors in an upland pasture in southeast scotland. the results showed that the species distribution and the abundance of earthworms were related to the physical habitat. moles lived in the areas where earthworms were more abundant, and fewer moles were found in the areas with few earthworms. the distribution of moles was not rel ... | 1977 | 28309349 |
| the pineal gland of the mole (talpa europaea l.). iv. effect of pronase on material present in cisternae of the granular endoplasmic reticulum of pinealocytes. | the effect of a proteolytic enzyme, pronase, on material present in cisternae of the granular endoplasmic reticulum of mole pinealocytes demonstrates their proteinaceous nature. | 1977 | 902304 |
| a (comparative study on the nasal fossae of tupaia glis and four insectivores. | the macro- and microscopic anatomy of the nasal fossa of tupaia glis was compared with those of some insectivores. no significant group differences were found as far as the intranasal structures are concerned. since the number of receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium of tupaia glis and talpa europaea is smaller than in the other species studied, a slight reduction of the sense of smell is suggested. | 1977 | 416730 |
| seasonal changes in the fine structure of the accessory sex gland in the mole (talpa europaea). | the mole has a single pair of accessory sex organs with features of both the prostate and the seminal vesicle, for which the term prostate gland is not appropriate. seasonal changes occuring in this gland were related to four periods: a) the quiescence period, b) the maturation period, c) the active period and d) the involution period. during the quiescence period the cuboidal epithelial cells display a quasi-embryonic fine structure and are sparse in cytoplasmic organelles, but rich in glycogen ... | 1976 | 1000610 |

| fine structural changes in the epididymal epithelium of moles (talpa europaea) throughout the year. | the epididymis of the european mole (talpa europaea) was studied by light and electron microscopy. in the sexually active animal, spermatozoa mature during their passage through the epididymis and the structure of the cells lining the duct suggests a clear regional division into initial, middle and terminal segments. numerous intra-epithelial vesicles were present in the distal part of the middle segment of sexually active moles and the lining epithelium in the terminal segment appeared to be se ... | 1976 | 1271373 |
| the pineal gland of the mole (talpa europaea l.) iii. a fluorescence histochemical study. | the pineal gland of the mole, a mammal which lives in permanent darkness, has been studied using fluorescence histochemistry. an extensive catecholaminergic innervation is demonstrated. a yellow formaldehyde-induced fluorescence, characteristic of indoleamines, was not observed. if formaldehyde vapour treatment was omitted in the procedure, numerous cells containing yellow-orange autofluorescent material could be shown. the nature and possible function of this material is discussed. | 1976 | 1248027 |
| the pineal gland of the mole (talpa europaea l.). ii. ultrastructural variations observed in the pinealocytes during different parts of the sexual cycle. | changes of some ultrastructural parameters (paracrystalline structures, golgi apparatus, secretory granules) in mole pinealocytes were quantitatively studied during the various phases of the sexual cycle. an increase in quantity of paracrystalline structures and of the golgi appratuses was demonstrated during the period of high sexual activity in male pinealocytes and during oestrus, gestation and lactation in female pinealocytes. moreover, the appearance of vacuoles in female pinealocytes was o ... | 1975 | 1165488 |

| road-killed mammals provide insight into tick-borne bacterial pathogen communities within urban habitats. | small- and medium-sized mammals play an important role in the life cycle of tick-borne pathogens in urban habitats. our aim was to apply the general protocol, dama (documentation-assessment-monitoring-action), which is an integrated proposal to build a proactive capacity to understand, anticipate, and respond to the outcomes of accelerating environmental change. here we tested whether road-killed carcasses in urban areas are useful sources of tissue and parasite samples to investigate these spec ... | 2019 | 30230270 |

| map-a-mole: greenspace area influences the presence and abundance of the european mole talpa europaea in urban habitats. | the european mole talpa europaea is common across much of britain. it has a unique fossorial lifestyle, and evidence of its presence is readily identified through the presence of characteristic molehills. although molehills are often a common sight in urban greenspaces, moles are remarkably understudied, with very few studies to date exploring the urban ecology of moles. here, we investigate if factors such as greenspace (largely urban parks and playing fields) area, intensity of management, dis ... | 2020 | 32630423 |

| causes of mortality and lesions observed post mortem in european moles (talpa europaea) in cornwall, south-west england. | european moles (talpa europaea) are a common species in the uk, but there are few published data on the causes of mortality in these animals. an opportunistic post-mortem study was carried out on 44 moles found dead or dying in cornwall, uk. assessment of muscle condition and fat reserves, where possible, indicated that most (27 of 37, 73%) were in good nutritive condition. the majority had died of trauma (n = 40, 91%), the principal cause of which was predation (n = 36, 81.8%) by foxes and dome ... | 2019 | 30898293 |
