Puberty and dispersal in a wild primate population
(Academic Press, 2013-07-01)
This article is part of a Special Issue “Puberty and Adolescence”.
The onset of reproduction is preceded by a host of organismal adjustments and transformations, involving morphological, physiological, and behavioral ...
Testosterone positively associated with both male mating effort and paternal behavior in savanna baboons (Papio cynocephalus)
(Academic Press, 2013-03-31)
Testosterone (T) is often positively associated with male sexual behavior and negatively associated with paternal care. These associations have primarily been demonstrated in species where investment in paternal care begins ...
Hormonal correlates of natal dispersal and rank attainment in wild male baboons
(Academic Press, 2017-08-01)
In many mammals, maturational milestones such as dispersal and the attainment of adult dominance rank mark stages in the onset of reproductive activity and depend on a coordinated set of hormonal and socio-behavioral ...
Life history context of reproductive aging in a wild primate model
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2010-08-01)
The pace of reproductive aging has been of considerable interest, especially in regard to the long postreproductive period in modern women. Here we use data for both sexes from a 37‐year longitudinal study of a wild baboon ...
Demography of a population with a long history of poaching and the utility of the individual identification technique as a tool for monitoring intermittently studied elephant populations
(2016-09-01)
In many elephant populations in Africa, adverse effects of poaching including altered age and sex structure and long calving intervals continue to negatively impact the rate of recovery. The study reported here characterized ...
Balance of investment between parental care and mating effort in male baboons
(2011)
Non-monogamous males that provide care to their offspring face a potential conflict in
investment between paternal care and mating effort. This conflict arises either because of
resource or temporal constraints. I ...
Rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae using a bioluminescence-based phenotypic...
(Elsevier, 2014-04-01)
Accurate detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. (CP-CRA) constitutes a major challenge in laboratory diagnostics. We developed a ...
Comparison of in-house and commercial real time-PCR based carbapenemase gene detection methods in Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenting gram-negative b...
(BioMed Central, 2017-12)
Background
Carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria are increasing globally and have been associated with outbreaks in hospital settings. Thus, the accurate detection of these bacteria in infections is mandatory for ...
Antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli from humans and black rhinoceros in Kenya
(Springer Nature, 2019-12-07)
Upsurge of antibiotic resistance in wildlife poses unprecedented threat to wildlife conservation. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance at the human–wildlife interface is therefore needed. We evaluated differences in ...
Epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance among Escherichia coli strains in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya
(Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2016-04-04)
This study aimed to determine prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile and the genetic basis to antimicrobial resistance, targeting blaTEM gene expression of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli among patients suffering ...
