Cestode and acanthocephalan infections in captive bustards: New host and location records, with data on pathology, control, and preventive medicine [PDF]

, 1996
Bustards are large terrestrial birds that inhabit open plains, deserts, and dry bush country. The helminth parasites of captive houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata macqueeni), rufous-crested bustards (Eupodotis ruficrista), and kori bustards (Ardeotis

Born this way: Does variation in perinatal limb bone morphology predict adult locomotor repertoire in primates?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates show a high degree of locomotor diversity that engenders similar variance in limb bone cross‐sectional geometry and bending strength: leaping primates have stronger hindlimb bones whereas suspensory species have stronger forelimb bones.

Cognition in the field: comparison of reversal learning performance in captive and wild passerines

Scientific Reports, 2017
Animal cognitive abilities have traditionally been studied in the lab, but studying cognition in nature could provide several benefits including reduced stress and reduced impact on life-history traits.

Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.

A non-invasive feather-based methodology for the detection of blood parasites (Haemosporida)

Scientific Reports, 2023
Blood parasite (haemosporidian) infections are conventionally detected using blood samples; this implies capturing and handling birds to obtain them, which induces stress and causes pain.

Avian paramyxovirus type 1 infection in houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata macqueenii): Clinical and pathologic findings [PDF]

, 1997
Clinical and pathologic findings of avian paramyxovirus type 1 (PMV-1) in 19 houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata macqueenii) imported from Pakistan into the United Arab Emirates and one captive-bred bird are reported. Clinical signs included circling,

First reports on the relationship between the eggshell and bone mineralization in Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia embryos

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Composed of various minerals, the eggshell provides ideal conditions for embryonic development, and understanding its composition and structure is essential for clarifying its relationship with bone formation. This study characterized the structure and mineral profile of the Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia eggshell in relation to ...

Occurrence and vertical transmission of avian polyomavirus and circovirus in captive and wild Passeriformes in Poland

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Diseases caused by polyomaviruses and circoviruses in parrots were first described in the 1980s. Then they began to be diagnosed in other orders of birds, including Passeriformes, such as Atlantic canaries (Serinus canaria) and estrildid and ...
