Genome diversity of Chinese indigenous chicken and the selective signatures in Chinese gamecock chicken

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Gamecock chickens are one of the earliest recorded birds in China, and have accumulated some unique morphological and behavioral signatures such as large body size, muscularity and aggressive behavior, whereby being excellent breeding materials and a ...

Identifying and profiling the microRNAs associated with skin colour in the Muchuan black-bone chicken

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2020
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of small non-protein-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression in plants and animals. Skin colour is an important economic consideration in chicken production, and chickens with black skin have high market value ...

The power of two: Assessing the impact of a second measurement of the weak-charge form factor of 208Pb

open access: yes, 2016
[Background] Besides its intrinsic value as a fundamental nuclear-structure observable, the weak-charge density of 208Pb - a quantity that is closely related to its neutron distribution - is of fundamental importance in constraining the equation of state

Valorization of keratin biofibers for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Four common waste keratin biofibers (human hair, dog hair, chicken feathers, and degreased wool) have been used as biosorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Different parameters of the biosorption processes were optimized in

Local Chicken Breeds of Africa: Their Description, Uses and Conservation Methods

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
Simple Summary In African countries, there has been little effort to conserve the local chicken breeds or lines. These chickens are hardy and provide a valuable protein source to rural households. Even though these chickens are resistant to disease, they

Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size
