To peck or not to peck: the influence of early-life social environment on response inhibition and impulsive aggression in Japanese quails

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Deficits in response inhibition (RI; i.e. the ability to suppress inappropriate responses) may contribute to increased impulsive aggression (IA; i.e. unplanned behaviours that harm others).

Non-Invasive Monitoring of the Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Vocalizations among Songbirds in a Semi Free-Flight Environment Using Robot Audition Techniques

open access: yesBirds, 2021
To understand the social interactions among songbirds, extracting the timing, position, and acoustic properties of their vocalizations is essential. We propose a framework for automatic and fine-scale extraction of spatial-spectral-temporal patterns of ...

Challenges and Opportunities of Upconversion Nanoparticles for Emerging NIR Optoelectronic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The special photo‐responsiveness of upconversion nanoparticles has opened up a new path for the advancement of near‐infrared (NIR)‐responsive optoelectronics. However, challenges such as low energy‐conversion efficiency and high nonradiative losses still persist.

Ethological risk factors of West nile infection of wild birds in Senegal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Serological studies performed in 2003, as well as viral isolations demonstrated that West Nile fever (WNF) was endemic in Senegal (West Africa). Large populations of potentially infected birds fly each year from West Africa to Europe.

Modeling highly pathogenic avian influenza transmission in wild birds and poultry in West Bengal, India. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Wild birds are suspected to have played a role in highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 outbreaks in West Bengal. Cluster analysis showed that H5N1 was introduced in West Bengal at least 3 times between 2008 and 2010.

Flight of Birds [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1870
IN NATURE, vol. viii. p. 86, Mr. J. Guthrie calls attention to, and asks explanation of, a curious phenomenon in the flight of birds observed by him :—“In the face of a strong wind,” he says, “the hawk remained fixed in space without fluttering a wing for at least two minutes. After a time it quietly changed its position a few feet with a slight motion

Ancestral Protein‐Based Lighting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) method applied to a large dataset of modern fluorescent proteins (FPs) led to a bright ancestral‐like FP suitable for photon down‐conversion in bio‐hybrid light‐emitting diodes (Bio‐HLEDs). Abstract Protein‐optoelectronics is a paradigm toward eco‐designed and sustainable technologies.
