The phylogenetic relationships and possible origin of a putative non-native population of Podarcis muralis in Ukraine were assessed based on sequences of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Ukrainian lizards belong to two distinct mitochondrial lineages (haplogroups), both occurring within the Central Balkan clade, which includes most of central and south-eastern European populations. From overall three detected Ukrainian haplotypes, one haplotype share same genetic signal with the hyplotype from the locality Bjala (Bulgaria), the other two are unique for Ukrainian population. Two of haplotypes correspond with haplogroup covering large geographic region of Bulgaria, Serbia, and Romania. These results reinforce previous findings that the species has the ability to establish new populations out of its native range. While most introductions to Germany and Britain have been deliberate, it appears likely that human transport of goods via the Danube river of goods is responsible for the range expansion into Ukraine.

Social facilitation occurs when one animal increases performance of a behaviour due to the presence of another animal engaged in that same behaviour. Gonyou et al. (1992) reported that pigs in adjoining pens ate simultaneously more often if the feeders were adjacent to the common wall. Feeders which allow pigs to see pigs in the adjacent pen increase feed consumption in short trials (Hutson, 1995). Although these studies reported some form of social facilitation, the studies were either too short to detect an improvement in productivity, or none resulted. The objectives of this study were to determine if social facilitation of eating between pens of pigs can best be achieved by allowing visual contact through the wall or the feeder, and if feed consumption can be increased over an extended period of time.

Abstract Demographic and morphological aspects of two nearby subpopulations of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) were studied, by a capture-mark-recapture procedure, at an archaeological site in the surroundings of Rome, central Italy. In both sites, the births peak was observed in September. Adult sex-ratio was skewed towards males in one subpopulation, but was close to equality in the other. Morphological characteristics were consistent in the two sites, with males always exhibiting larger snout-vent-length and head size. Population size and density, computed by a Jolly-Seber index applied by using POPAN model revealed differences between subpopulations, with lizard density being much higher in the site with higher habitat heterogeneity and shelter availability. Tail condition was similar between sites. The general implications of these data are discussed.

The use of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) as a measure of developmental instability and its relationship to stress and fitness is highly controversial. We examined whether the selection of different FA indices and traits influences the results of FA analysis. We chose four meristic traits and three FA indices (two single-trait and two multiple-trait indices) to assess FA levels in the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) from three different habitat types (urban, suburban and natural). Urbanization has already been linked to developmental instability in P. muralis. We therefore expected to detect different FA levels among the habitats. However, we also wanted to see whether we obtained the same patterns using different indices and traits. Our results showed that different traits can yield different FA patterns between habitats. The only statistically significant difference between habitats was detected for the FA2 index in femoral pores. The highest level of FA was detected in the urban population, while the lowest level was in the natural population. It is clear that caution must be exerted when deciding on which traits and indices are to be used for FA analysis.

Objective: To describe the retrograde removal of a tracheoesophageal (TE) prosthesis embedded in the common wall between the trachea and esophagus with preservation of the original tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) tract with subsequent placement of new tracheoesophageal prosthesis for voice restoration. Methods: The Blom-Singer TEP Set (InHealth Technologies, Carpinteria, CA) was used to facilitate this procedure. The coated wire leader cable was threaded through the small opening in the posterior tracheal wall and into the lumen of the old TE prosthesis. The wire was pulled through the mouth in retrograde fashion - bringing the old TE prosthesis out with it and dilating the existing TEP tract. A new prosthesis was then placed over the end of the wire and returned through the stoma, delivering the prosthesis through the TE tract and into the stoma. Results: Safe, voice restoration with avoidance of need for multiple procedures. Conclusion: Removal of an embedded prosthesis and simultaneous replacement of a new prosthesis was safely and efficiently achieved using a retrograde technique which maintained the patency of the prior TE tract and restored voice.
