Multidirectional chromosome painting substantiates the occurrence of extensive genomic reshuffling within Accipitriformes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Previous cross-species painting studies with probes from chicken (Gallus gallus) chromosomes 1-10 and a paint pool of nineteen microchromosomes have revealed that the drastic karyotypic reorganization in Accipitridae is due to extensive ...

Embryonic exposure of chicken chicks (Gallus gallus domesticus) leads to heightened sensitivities towards the exposed scent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In chickens, food consumption can be altered by exposing the chicks to scents as embryos. We exposed eggs to an orange-scented food additive in the final days of incubation. Following hatching, we tested these exposed chicks’ ability to detect this scent

Proceedings of the Young Researchers Workshop on Positivity in Lie Groups [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
These notes transcribe a workshop about the notion of total positivity and $\Theta$-positivity and its relation to Higher Teichm\"uller Theory. $\Theta$-positivity is a notion of positivity in semisimple Lie groups and was recently introduced by Guichard and Wienhard as a generalization of Lusztig's total positivity.

Windsurfing in Mute Swans (Cygnus olor) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Mute Swans (Cygnus olor) were observed using tailwind as a support for high-speed water transportation on three different occasions in three different locations in Sweden. With the wings arched over the back, they traveled similar to 100 m in an inlet of
