| a rare autosomal recessive condition, congenital erythropoietic porphyria, found in the canefield rat rattus sordidus gould 1858. | congenital erythropoietic porphyria (cep) is a rare autosomal recessive condition that has been reported in humans and in some animals, in which uroporphyrin 1 is deposited in the bones, teeth and urine, resulting in pink coloration and fluorescence of the tissues and urine under long-wave ultraviolet (uv) light. we observed red teeth in nine of 450 canefield rats (rattus sordidus) captured in a small, isolated patch of sugarcane in tully, north queensland, australia. the skeletons of these anim ... | 2008 | 21396071 |
| prey use by dingoes in a contested landscape: ecosystem service provider or biodiversity threat? | in australia, dingoes (canis lupus dingo) have been implicated in the decline and extinction of a number of vertebrate species. the lowland wet tropics of queensland, australia is a biologically rich area with many species of rainforest-restricted vertebrates that could be threatened by dingoes; however, the ecological impacts of dingoes in this region are poorly understood. we determined the potential threat posed by dingoes to native vertebrates in the lowland wet tropics using dingo scat/stom ... | 2017 | 29152188 |
