| venous blood gas and lactate values of mourning doves (zenaida macroura), boat-tailed grackles (quiscalus major), and house sparrows (passer domesticus) after capture by mist net, banding, and venipuncture. | blood gas partial pressures, ph, and bicarbonate and lactate concentrations were measured from the basilic vein of mourning doves (zenaida macroura) and the jugular vein of boat-tailed grackles (quiscalus major) and house sparrows (passer domesticus) to assess immediate impacts of mist net capture and handling for banding and venipuncture. mourning doves and house sparrows exhibited mild acidemia (median [minimum-maximum] venous blood ph(41 degrees c) = 7.394 [7.230-7.496] and 7.395 [7.248-7.458 ... | 2012 | 22448512 |
| blood gas, lactate, and hematology effects of venipuncture timing and location after mist-net capture of mourning doves (zenaida macroura), boat-tailed grackles (quiscalus major), and house sparrows (passer domesticus). | venous blood gas partial pressures, ph, bicarbonate and lactate concentrations, packed cell volume, white blood cell differential counts, and heterophil/lymphocyte ratios were measured from mourning doves (zenaida macroura), boat-tailed grackles (quiscalus major), and house sparrows (passer domesticus). birds were bled promptly after mist-net capture and banding or following a targeted delay of 45-60 min, in order to assess the impacts of a brief holding period commonly practiced in large-scale ... | 2016 | 26845300 |
