Investigation into the effect of “day one weight” on bird weight gain of ISA 257 table birds within the Sheepdrove Organic Farm organic silvo-poultry system [PDF]
This report summarises the results of a preliminary trial undertaken to investigate the effect of day one chick weight on weight gain and final weight. The objectives of the trial were to ascertain the range in weights of day old chicks brought on to ...

Self‐reinforcing degradation in solution‐processed small‐molecule organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) arises from charge accumulation and exciton‐polaron interactions, leading to molecular aggregation and efficiency loss. This study uncovers the fundamental mechanisms behind this degradation and introduces strategic material engineering approaches ...

Frugivory in Raptors: New Observations from Australia and a Global Review
The diets of raptors are some of the best studied and well-known of all bird groups. Raptors are typically carnivores, hunting and feeding on vertebrates and, for some species, invertebrates. Here, we described instances of the Black Kite (Milvus migrans)

Using DNA metabarcoding to explore spatial variation in diet across European Hawfinch populations
The investigation of diet in avian species is essential for understanding their ecology and local adaptations, as well as long-term conservation. This can be particularly challenging because of the wide distribution and high ecological plasticity of many

Life History and Sociality Predict Variation in Eye Size across Birds
Over evolutionary times, the eye has acquired several adaptations to improve feeding efficiency and reduce predation pressure. Eye size, in particular, represents a target for selection, as it affects light capture and image resolution. Previous research

Bioinspired Design of a Wet‐Adhesive Cornea Glue Based on Recombinant Human Protein Networks
Natures protein‐based high performance materials e.g. elastin, silk and muscle proteins have been mimicked by a new protein‐hybrid material based on redesigned human partial sequences only, showing high wet‐adhesiveness and elasticity for biomedical applications.
