    Phenology of Antler Casting and Occurrence of Late-Breeding in Nebraska White-Tailed Deer

    Get PDF
    White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Nebraska primarily breed in November (stimulated by photoperiod), but this season extends into December and January for unfertilized females and healthy fawns reaching the appropriate breeding weight by winter. Variation in the typical mating period can be attributed to geographic region, skewed sex ratios, and fawns reaching sexual maturity during their first year of birth. During April of 2019, we observed late season breeding by a male white-tailed deer in the central Platte River valley and documented late antler casting for this same late-copulating male. An additional male was observed in April of 2020 still retaining antlers within the region. To understand the irregularity of these observations relative to the central Platte River valley, we documented observations of early and late antler casting utilizing long-term cast antler collection and camera trap data. We were able to establish a baseline for antler casting phenology within this region to denote a shift in average casting timeframe (more than one month later than previously recorded in this region) and document early and the latest known antler casting within the literature. Herein, we detail the variation in antler casting phenology for white-tailed deer in this region, and the latest known occurrence of natural breeding in the state. Our findings help us better understand the life history of the Nebraska white-tailed deer population and can assist state wildlife biologists and property managers as they assess seasonal harvest regulations and adaptively manage the changing resource

    In this article we provide guidelines on statistical design and analysis of data for all kinds of honey bee research. Guidelines and selection of different methods presented are, at least partly, based on experience. This article can be used: to identify the most suitable analysis for the type of data collected; to optimise one’s experimental design based on the experimental factors to be investigated, samples to be analysed, and the type of data produced; to determine how, where, and when to sample bees from colonies; or just to inspire. Also included are guidelines on presentation and reporting of data, as well as where to find help and which types of software could be useful.En este trabajo se proporcionan directrices sobre el diseño estadístico y el análisis de datos para todo tipo de investigación sobre abejas. Tanto las directrices como la selección de los diferentes métodos que se presentan están basadas, al menos en parte, en la experiencia. Este artículo se puede utilizar: para identificar el análisis más adecuado para el tipo de datos recogidos; para optimizar el diseño experimental basado en los factores experimentales a ser investigados, las muestras a analizar, y el tipo de datos que se producen; para determinar cómo, dónde , y cuando muestras abejas de las colonias, o simplemente para inspirar. También se incluyen directrices para la presentación y comunicación de los datos, así como dónde encontrar ayuda y distintos software que puedan ser útiles.在本文中,我们提供了针对蜜蜂所有研究的统计设计和数据分析指南。这些指南和方法的选择至少部分基于我们的经验。本文也可用于:针对收集到的数据类型选择最优分析方法;基于所研究的实验因素、待分析的样本和获得的数据类型优化实验设计;确定从蜂群中采集蜜蜂样本的地点、时间和方式;或者仅为实验提供参考。另外,也包含展示和报告数据时的指南,以及如何寻求帮助和选用何种软件。The University of Pretoria, the National Research Foundation of South Africa and the Department of Science and Technology of South Africa (CWWP).http://www.ibra.org.uk/am201

    An Abundant Dysfunctional Apolipoprotein A1 in Human Atheroma

    Get PDF
    Recent studies have indicated that high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) and their major structural protein, apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), recovered from human atheroma are dysfunctional and are extensively oxidized by myeloperoxidase (MPO). In vitro oxidation of either apoA1 or HDL particles by MPO impairs their cholesterol acceptor function. Here, using phage display affinity maturation, we developed a high-affinity monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes both apoA1 and HDL that have been modified by the MPO-H2O2-Cl− system. An oxindolyl alanine (2-OH-Trp) moiety at Trp72 of apoA1 is the immunogenic epitope. Mutagenesis studies confirmed a critical role for apoA1 Trp72 in MPO-mediated inhibition of the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1)-dependent cholesterol acceptor activity of apoA1 in vitro and in vivo. ApoA1 containing a 2-OH-Trp72 group (oxTrp72-apoA1) is in low abundance within the circulation but accounts for 20% of the apoA1 in atherosclerosis-laden arteries. OxTrp72-apoA1 recovered from human atheroma or plasma is lipid poor, virtually devoid of cholesterol acceptor activity and demonstrated both a potent proinflammatory activity on endothelial cells and an impaired HDL biogenesis activity in vivo. Elevated oxTrp72-apoA1 levels in subjects presenting to a cardiology clinic (n = 627) were associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. Circulating oxTrp72-apoA1 levels may serve as a way to monitor a proatherogenic process in the artery wall
