THE EFFECTS OF VISITORS AND SOCIAL ISOLATION FROM A PEER ON THE BEHAVIOR OF A MIXED-SPECIES PAIR OF CAPTIVE GIBBONS

The effects of visitors and social isolation from a peer on the behavior of a mixed-species pair of captive gibbons

Abstract Human visitors affect the behavior of captive animals, which is the so-called visitor effect.The number and behavior of visitors may influence stress-related behaviors in captive animals, such as self-scratching, yawning, and visitor-directed vigilance.A social group setting can be applied to alleviate such negative visitor effects and fac

Insight into the mechanism of cytotoxicity of membrane-permeant psoralenic Kv1.3 channel inhibitors by chemical dissection of a novel member of the family

The potassium channel Kv1.3, involved in several important pathologies, is the target of a family of psoralen-based drugs whose mechanism of action is not fully understood.Here we provide evidence for a physical interaction of the mitochondria-located Kv1.3 (mtKv1.3) and Complex I of the honda weathershields respiratory chain and show that this pro
