Response of Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and two parasitic nematode populations in western Oklahoma to anthelmintic supplemental feed [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeIt has been demonstrated that helminths are capable of critically impacting the fitness of their hosts. This has typically been shown experimentally through the administration of anthelmintic drugs but are rarely performed on a landscape or host ...

Climate alters the movement ecology of a non‐migratory bird [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Global climate change is causing increased climate extremes threatening biodiversity and altering ecosystems. Climate is comprised of many variables including air temperature, barometric pressure, solar radiation, wind, relative humidity, and ...

The invertebrate diet of northern bobwhite chicks in Georgia, United States [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2012 The establishment of brood–rearing habitats along field margins has become a popular agri–environmental prescription to help reverse population declines of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) in Georgia, United States.

Don't break a leg: Running birds from quail to ostrich prioritise leg safety and economy in uneven terrain [PDF]
, 2014 Cursorial ground birds are paragons of bipedal running that span a 500-fold mass range from quail to ostrich. Here we investigate the task-level control priorities of cursorial birds by analysing how they negotiate single-step obstacles that create a ...

A draft de novo genome assembly for the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) reveals evidence for a rapid decline in effective population size beginning in the Late Pleistocene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Wild populations of northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus; hereafter bobwhite) have declined across nearly all of their U.S. range, and despite their importance as an experimental wildlife model for ecotoxicology studies, no bobwhite draft genome ...

Does weather drive habitat use and movement of a nonmigratory bird?
Ecosphere, 2023 Climate change is predicted to increase the intensity and frequency of weather extremes (e.g., extreme heat and drought), which will likely affect wildlife species in significant ways. Maintaining landscape heterogeneity has been suggested as a potential

Factors influencing Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus-mediated gene silencing in wheat [PDF]
, 2010 Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that has been used primarily to target the virus genome in infected plants. However, if the virus genome carries inserts derived from the host plant, the system could be employed to target the mRNAs ...
