Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effects of lead poisoning on bone mineralization in vultures exposed to ammunition sources.
Laura Gangoso,Pedro Alvarez-Lloret,Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Rafael Mateo,Fernando Hiraldo,José A. Donázar +5 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the existence ofLong-term effects of lead poisoning, which may be of importance in the declines of threatened populations of long-lived species exposed to this contaminant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure and crystallographic-texture of giant barnacle (Austromegabalanus psittacus) shell.
Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Christiane CabraldeMelo,Nelson Batista,Nilton Itiro Morimoto,Pedro Alvarez-Lloret,Miguel Ortega-Huertas,Victor M. Fuenzalida,José Ignacio Arias,J.P. Wiff,José Luis Arias +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the organic matrix is responsible for the organization of the shell mineral and exterts strong a strict control on the polymorphic type, size and orientation of shell-forming crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life-history traits of the giant squid Architeuthis dux revealed from stable isotope signatures recorded in beaks
Ángel Guerra,Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Ángel F. González,Chris S. Romanek,Pedro Alvarez-Lloret,Graham J. Pierce +5 more
TL;DR: The relative stability of the d 13 C profiles over the remainder of their lifespan is consistent with the hypothesis that adult giant squid inhabit, and may be associated with a greater intrinsic variability in the carbon isotope composition of relatively small prey, and/or transient migratory behaviour early in life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of physical activity on tibial bone material properties in laying hens.
Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,H.M. McCormack,Robert Fleming,Pedro Alvarez-Lloret,Julia Romero-Pastor,Nazaret Dominguez-Gasca,Tanya Prozorov,Ian C. Dunn +7 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of bone material properties for lines of hens created by divergent selection to have high and low bone strength and housed in either individual cages, with restricted mobility, or in an aviary system, with opportunity for increased mobility show improvement of bone biomechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) on vertebral bone mineralization and on thyroxin and vitamin D levels in Sprague-Dawley rats
TL;DR: Insight is revealed into possible bone mineralization alteration due to PCB126 exposure and the lowering of both the thyroxin and vitamin D serum levels might be an underlying explanation for the observed effects on bone Mineralization.
