Biochemical Indices

The effects of varying periods of pre-sampling handling (1.5 min, 3 min, 4.5 min, 6 min) on selected biochemical indices were monitored in a group of 8–9-month-old common pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) kept at a pheasantry in Jinačovice, Czech Republic. The duration of pheasant handling (capture, restraint, and blood sampling) was positively correlated with plasma corticosterone (p < 0.001) and lactate (p < 0.05) levels. Negative correlations were found between the handling duration and glucose concentration (p < 0.01), and aspartate aminotransferase level (p < 0.05) in the blood plasma. A significant increase in corticosterone plasma concentrations and a decrease in glucose plasma concentrations were already found in blood samples taken after 3 min of capture in comparison to blood samples of pheasants taken within 1.5 min.

Abstract Structure is probably the most difficult characteristic of carbon black to define. Electron microscopy has shown that the individual particles of a black are fused together into a variety of shapes, collectively defined as the structure. Here, particle is used to refer to that entity which is somewhat spherical in shape and is the smallest “building block” of structure. These particles have also been called “domains” of rotational graphitic layers and “nodules”. The larger unit resulting from the fusion of these particles forms an “aggregate” or a “primary structure” unit. A collection of aggregates, held together by some other force (e.g , van der Waals force), is called an “agglomerate” or “secondary structure”. With dry black, it is difficult to completely eliminate all secondry structure. However, main emphasis in this study was on primary structure, because it has the greater influence on rubber properties and because secondary structure is greatly reduced in good rubber mixing. Many recent characterization studies have been concerned with making direct measurements on primary structure units (aggregates) by automated image analysis techniques, a pencil following device, and a comparative chart method. In the work described here, a different approach has been taken to viewing carbon black primary structure units, an approach using the scanning electron microscope combined with stereoscopic methods. This initial report will be mainly concerned with a description of the techniques and results on several individual primary structure units. It is suggested that the efforts described here provide a realistic view of carbon black primary structure and that a third dimension term is essential for primary structure characterization.

ABSTRACTAimHistorical factors such as Pleistocene climate cycles and associated environmental changes have influenced the phylogeographic structure and demographic dynamics of many species. Resulting patterns not only depend on species’ life-history but also vary regionally. Consequently, different populations of species with large ranges over different biomes might have experienced divergent drivers of diversification and show different population histories. Such a representative species is the common pheasant Phasianus colchicus, an ecological generalist with a wide distribution in the Palearctic and at the edge of the Oriental region. We aimed at identifying distinct phylogeographic lineages of the common pheasant and investigating their evolutionary trajectories.Study locationAsiaMethodsWe used coalescent approaches to describe the phylogeographic structure and to reconstruct the spatio-temporal diversification and demographic history of the common pheasant based on a comprehensive geographic sampling of 265 individuals genotyped at seven nuclear and two mitochondrial loci.ResultsThe common pheasant diversified during the late Pleistocene into eight distinct evolutionary lineages which only partly correspond to traditional morphological groups. It originated at the edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau and spread from there to East and Central Asia. Only the widely distributed genetically uniform lowland lineage of East Asia showed a recent range and population expansion, starting during last glacial. More phylogeographic structure was found elsewhere with lineages showing no signs of recent range expansions. One lineage of subtropical south-central China this is the result of long-term isolation in a climatically stable and topographically complex region. In others from arid Central Asia and China, demographic and range expansions were impeded by repeated population fragmentation during dry glacial and recent aridification. Given such a phylogeographic structure and demographic scenarios among lineages, we proposed split the range-wide common pheasant into three species.Main conclusionsSpatio-temporal phylogeographic frameworks of widespread species complexes such as the common pheasant provide valuable opportunities to identify regionally divergent drivers of diversification.

Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration

The haematological parameters of the common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), the dynamics of changes in blood count parameters with regard to the season of the year and reproduction status, and the effects of sex and body condition on the haematological parameters of blood were studied. In total, 574 blood samples were collected. The samples were collected from pheasants from the age of 6 months, prior to the laying period, and after the laying period. Packed cell volume and haemoglobin concentration significantly increased in males during the period of growth and decreased during the period of reproductive activity. Significantly higher values were detected in males compared to females in erythrocyte count, packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration and in mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration. A statistically significant positive relationship was detected between weight and the values of most of the parameters related to red blood cells.
