Mortality patterns in endangered Hawaiian geese (Nene; Branta sandvicensis) Mortality patterns in endangered Hawaiian geese (Nene; Branta sandvicensis)
Understanding causes of death can aid management and recovery of endangered bird populations. Toward those ends, we systematically examined 300 carcasses of endangered Hawaiian Geese (Nene; Branta sandvicensis) from Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, and Kauai between 1992 and 2013. The most common cause of death was emaciation, followed by trauma (vehicular strikes and predation), and infectious...

Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) have novel asymmetrical antibodies Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) have novel asymmetrical antibodies
Igs in vertebrates comprise equally sized H and L chains, with exceptions such as H chain–only Abs in camels or natural Ag receptors in sharks. In Reptilia, Igs are known as IgYs. Using immunoassays with isotype-specific mAbs, in this study we show that green turtles (Chelonia mydas) have a 5.7S 120-kDa IgY comprising two equally sized H/L chains with truncated Fc and a 7S 200-kDa IgY...
