Influence of rearing environment on development of perching and dustbathing behaviour in laying hens [PDF]
, 2007 Studies have shown that perching and dustbathing behaviour in birds can be affected by how and when the behaviour develops. With the increasing trend away from cages and towards keeping laying hens in larger, more complex housing systems, it is important

Between Sheds Migration: establish whether, and if they do how far birds migrate between field sheds on the Sheepdrove Organic Farm silvo-poultry production system [PDF]
, 2004 Sheepdrove Organic Farm was concerned about the possibility of birds of different ages mixing within their silvo-poultry system resulting in variation in the bird weights at depletion. A trial was established to investigate whether birds did migrate and

Synthesis of Self‐Healing Microbeam by Superposition of Self‐Decelerating Corner‐Diffraction Beams
Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.Quasi‐nondiffracting (QND) beams boast long‐range propagation and self‐healing capabilities but require complex beam‐forming platforms. In contrast, the photonic nanojets (PNJs) boast simple platforms but are utilized primarily for near‐field applications. This work aims to hybridize the QND and PNJ beam concepts with a view to realize microscale, self‐

Spring migration of Ruffs Philomachus pugnax in Fryslân: estimates of staging duration using resighting data [PDF]
, 2010 Seasonal bird migration involves long flights, but most time is actually spent at intermediate staging areas. The duration of stay at these sites can be evaluated with mark–recapture methods that employ day-to-day local encounters of individually marked ...

Experimental Infection of North American Birds with the New York 1999 Strain of West Nile Virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To evaluate transmission dynamics, we exposed 25 bird species to West Nile virus (WNV) by infectious mosquito bite. We monitored viremia titers, clinical outcome, WNV shedding (cloacal and oral), seroconversion, virus persistence in organs, and ...

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...
