| biogeography and taxonomy of apodemus sylvaticus (the woodmouse) in the tyrrhenian region: enzymatic variations and mitochondrial dna restriction pattern analysis. | in the western mediterranean area, the taxonomic status of the various forms of apodemus sylvaticus is quite unclear. moreover, though anthropogenic, the origins of the island populations remain unknown in geographical terms. in order to examine the level of genetic relatedness of insular and continental woodmice, 258 animals were caught in 24 localities distributed in belgium, france, mainland italy, sardinia, corsica and elba. electrophoresis of 33 allozymes and mtdna restriction fragments wer ... | 1996 | 8728987 |
| on the mtdna restriction patterns variation of the iberian wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus). comparison with other west mediterranean populations. | in previous studies, the presence of three main lineages of wood mice mtdna was described in western europe: a first one distributed from the pyrenees to scandinavia. a thyrrenian one occurring in peninsular italy, elba, corsica and sardinia and a third one restricted to sicily and marettimo. do the iberian wood mice belong to one of these lineages? in order to answer this question, animals were trapped all over the iberian peninsula (11 sites) as well as in three of the balearic islands. compar ... | 1998 | 10319716 |
| vegetable and animal food sorts found in the gastric content of sardinian wild boar (sus scrofa meridionalis). | authors report results emerging from gastric content analysis from n. 96 wild boars hunted in sardinia isle, during the hunting tide (2001-2005), from november to january. mean ph of the gastric content was 3.77 +/- 0.69. mean total capacity (tc) of each stomach was 1702 +/- 680 g. mean stuff ratio (cw/tc) between the content weight (cw) and stomachs tc was 0.45. food categories found in animal stomachs were: 19 categories of vegetal species (allium spp., arbutus unedo, arisarum vulgare, avena f ... | 2007 | 17516948 |
