Abstract:

Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) is a medium-sized semiaquatic rodent which belongs to the Cricetidae family. This species is native to North America. Nowadays muskrats due to introduction also inhabit Asia and Europe. In Poland, muskrats are counted to small game. They were also bred on fur farms, mainly in Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Poland.

Abstract:

The metabolic costs of spontaneous diving in the muskrat were estimated from measurements of oxygen consumption [Formula: see text], using a purpose-built open-circuit respirometer. Total [Formula: see text] value was measured over a 15-min immersion period in 30 °C water and related to the frequency and duration of voluntary dives during that period. The correspondence between [Formula: see text] and diving behavior varied with the level of motor activity during interdive periods at the surface. There was no relationship between these variables in runs characterized by appreciable surface swi

Abstract:

Over the past decade, no studies have been conducted on the distribution, number, and structure of muskrats (ondatra zibethicus) in Kazakhstan. Muskrat fur is a valuable fur. However, at present, the very small number of ondatra zibethicus, the decline in its population, leads to changes in biodiversity for Kazakhstan and a number of countries. The purpose of the work is a comprehensive study of the habitat of muskrats, morphological indicators of the population of muskrats living in the Ili - Balkhash rivers and lakes. The article provides data on studies of the life of muskrats and the distr

Abstract:

The paper discusses some results of Ondatra zibethicus acclimatization in the cold climate of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YaNAO), Russia. The study uses data from literature, archives and state records and gives a brief historical background on the first muskrat introduction into YaNAO water bodies. The study scrutinizes some of its expansion factors and peculiarities of its modern spatial and biotopical distribution in the Okrug. 19481960 YaNAO hunting reports show a considerable share of the introduced O. zibethicus in fur procurement, with the population peak and commercial hunting p

Abstract:

Understanding the factors and processes that influence intraspecific genetic variation are essential to better understand evolutionary processes. In this research, I examined patterns of gene flow and their effects on the distribution of genetic variation and spatial genetic structuring at different spatial scales. I used a combination of population genetics, spatial analysis, morphometrics and phylogeography in order to understand the patterns of genetic variation and their resulting phenotypic variations in a semi-aquatic species, the muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus).

Abstract:

Force dived animals undergo cardiovascular changes characterized by bradycardia, increased total peripheral resistance, and changes in blood flow distribution. Since these changes occur in decerebrated animals, the dive response must be a brainstem reflex. However, in voluntary dives, animals may show anticipatory bradycardia and may also adjust their cardiovascular responses according to anticipated dive duration, indicating suprabulbar influences upon dive responses. Studies of heart rate using telemetry have shown that there can be substantial differences in the dive response of voluntaril

Abstract:

Diving muskrats (Ondatra zibethica) invoke a series of cardiovascular and respiratory adjustments in response to stimulation of the nares with water. This dive response is characterized by apnoea, a decrease in cardiac output and an increase in peripheral resistance. The result is that blood flow is maintained to those organs most susceptible to oxygen deprivation, the heart and the brain. The initiation of the dive response in mammals is primarily the result of nasal stimulation with water. In addition, the baroreceptors acting via the baroreflex have been suggested to be involved in either

Abstract:

Abstract Marine mammals include species that depend on the ocean for all or part of their life needs: mysticetes (baleen whales), odontocetes (toothed whales, dolphins, and porpoises), pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals, and walruses), sirenians (manatees and dugongs), and the marine carnivores (sea otters and polar bears). A few other groups of mammals are adapted to a semiaquatic (or amphibious) life: rodents such as the beaver (Castor canadensis), muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), and capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris); several mustelids such as the river otter (Lontra canadensis), giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), and marine otter (Lontra felina); and the hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibious). The primary sensory modality for marine mammals and other semiaquatic animals is hearing. These animals produce sound in support of critical life functions such as feeding, breeding, and nursing. However, underwater noise may interfere with acoustic communication and hearing. In this chapter, sound production mechanisms, types of sounds produced, hearing anatomy and physiology, hearing abilities, sound usage, and the effects of noise on aquatic mammals are summarized.

Abstract:

Abstract We begin with a classic example of invasion, the spatial spread of muskrats (Ondatra zibethica) in central Europe from 1909 to 1927. Figure 2.1, which appeared in Elton's book (1958), gives the contours of the range of spread based on Ulbrich's data (1930). As will be shown in section 3, Skellam (1951) analysed the data using the diffusion model, laying the foundation for the theoretical study of biological invasion in an ecological context. The muskrat, which is a species native to North America, was brought to Europe for fur-breeding. In 1905, five muskrats escaped from a farm located near Prague in Czechoslovakia. They started to spread and repro¬ duce (later mixing with other escaped groups), inhabiting the entire European continent in the short period of 50 years; today they number many millions.

Abstract:

The muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) is a common, semi-aquatic rodent native to the United States. It spends its life in aquatic habitats and is well adapted for swimming. Although muskrats are an important part of native ecosystems, their burrowing and foraging activities can damage agricultural crops, native marshes and water control systems, such as aquaculture and farm ponds and levees. Such damage can significantly impact agricultural crops like rice that rely on consistent water levels for growth. Laws, regulations, and ordinances regarding the take of muskrats varies by state and province w
