How quickly did animals originating from one environment adapt to new environments (e.g. Kay 1997; Thornton et al. 2009), such as animal populations originating from the Near East adapting to the more extreme conditions of the eastern steppe?
The use of partial cut treatments by forest amphibians differed between animals emerging from experimental pools (i.e., juvenile wood frogs and spotted salamanders), and animals originating from outside the experimental arrays (i.e., adults of all forest species, juvenile wood frogs and spotted salamanders).
Mediastinal lymphnodes were taken from cattle at the slaughter house (11 healthy controls) and from 6 naturally diseased animals originating from conventional Swiss cattle farms, which had to be euthanized due to MCF.
Moreover, to avoid population stratification problems we only used unrelated OBV animals originating from Switzerland, BBB animals originating from Belgium and only the black strain of GLW.
