| vitamin e in cranes: reference ranges and nutrient interactions. | fat soluble vitamins e and a (quantified as alpha-tocopherol and all-trans retinol, respectively) were measured in plasma samples from 274 captive cranes from four institutions and five free-ranging birds. ages ranged from 4 mo to 80 yr, and all 15 crane species were represented. captive cranes had a mean +/- standard error (se) of 6.57 +/- 0.82 micrograms/ml alpha-tocopherol; migrating greater sandhill cranes (grus canadenis tabida) had a plasma concentration of 3.71 +/- 0.22 micrograms/ml. sex ... | 1993 | 8445797 |
| genome sizes of cranes (aves: gruiformes). | the dna content of blood cell nuclei of 15 species of cranes was determined by feulgen-dna cytophotometry. genome sizes agree with values reported elsewhere for several crane species analyzed by flow cytometry. males have more dna per cell than females in several species. a karyotype where 2n = 80 is reported for a male greater sandhill crane. | 2006 | 17103395 |
| allozyme evidence for crane systematics and polymorphisms within populations of sandhill, sarus, siberian, and whooping cranes. | electrophoretic analysis of proteins yielded evidence on the relationships of species of cranes and on genetic diversity within populations of some species. diversity within the greater sandhill crane and a florida population of the florida sandhill crane was similar to that of most other vertebrates, but diversity was low in the mississippi sandhill crane, in the okefenokee population of the florida sandhill crane, and within the siberian and sarus cranes. diversity was surprisingly high among ... | 1992 | 1342943 |
| capture myopathy in a free-flying greater sandhill crane (grus canadensis tabida) from wisconsin. | | 1983 | 6644929 |
| capture of sandhill cranes using alpha-chloralose. | from 1990-2001, we made 188 successful captures of 166 different greater sandhill cranes (grus canadensis tabida) through experimental use of alpha-chloralose (ac). most captures took place during september (72.3%; n = 136), followed by august (14.9%; n = 28), and october (12.8%; n = 24). territorial pairs were captured more successfully than family groups. overall morbidity (6.4%) and mortality (4.3%) were lower than most other capture techniques for sandhill cranes. exertional myopathy (em) wa ... | 2003 | 14733281 |
| successful treatment of capture myopathy in three wild greater sandhill cranes (grus canadensis tabida). | two adult and 1 juvenile free-flying greater sandhill cranes (grus canadensis tabida) were diagnosed with capture myopathy after alpha-chloralose baiting and physical capture during a banding and feeding ecologic study. blood samples were collected for serum biochemical analysis at the time of capture for the 2 adults, and at 24 hours postcapture, at various intervals during treatment, and at the time of release for all 3 birds. concentrations of creatine kinase, aspartate transaminase, and lact ... | 2007 | 18351009 |
| time within reproductive season, but not age or inbreeding coefficient, affects seminal and sperm quality in the whooping crane (grus americana). | all living whooping cranes (grus americana) are descended from 16 or fewer birds that remained alive in the early 1940s, a bottleneck that puts the species at potential risk for inbreeding depression. although ai is commonly used in the management of the captive population of this species, little is known about seminal traits or factors affecting sperm quality in the whooping crane. in the present study, semen samples were collected from 29 adult males (age 3-27 years) during the early (march), ... | 2015 | 26259642 |
| lead poisoning in sandhill cranes. | seven florida sandhill cranes (grus canadensis pratensis) and 6 greater sandhill cranes (grus canadensis tabida) were exposed to lead-base paint containing 27% lead. one bird of each subspecies died enroute to the hospital, with a clinical history of anorexia, weakness, and open-mouth breathing of 36 hours' duration. there were no gross lesions, and microscopic lesions were limited to focal hepatic necrosis and hemosiderosis. two of each subspecies of cranes developed clinical signs of lead pois ... | 1977 | 411773 |
| levels of fecal corticosterone in sandhill cranes during a human-led migration. | fourteen captive-reared greater sandhill cranes (grus canadensis tabida) were conditioned to follow ultralight aircraft to promote migration between wisconsin and florida (usa) after release. fecal samples were collected throughout the training period in wisconsin and during a l977-km human-led migration to florida to determine fecal corticosterone (fc) concentrations by radioimmunnoassay. the mean (+/-se) fc concentration during the training period was 109.5 +/- 7.5 ng/g and was representative ... | 2004 | 15362826 |
