Space and resource use by American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos in an area endemic for chronic wasting disease

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos is a common species throughout North America. Crows play a role in the ecology of multiple diseases and a single laboratory experiment has shown the potential for crows to pass infectious prions, such as those associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD), in their feces after being force‐fed with infected material ...

Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

The Use of Chicken Feather Meal in Feeds

Poultry Science, 1955
Abstract CHICKEN feather meal represents a large potential source of protein for feed use. The volume of dry feathers available annually at processing plants has been estimated as in excess of 50,000 tons. Feathers are almost pure protein which, if made available for feed use, could do much to supply amino acids in poultry diets.

Early‐life environment drives long‐term decrease in adult body mass in a wild bird population

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environment (i.e. increase in population density) experienced at early life.

Growth-Enhancing Potential of Chicken Feather Waste Hydrolyzed by Serratiamarcescens and Klebsiellapneumoniaefor Cultivation of Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) andCowpea (Vignaunguiculata) obtained from Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management
The fermentation of chicken feather wastes into valuable products, such as organic liquid fertilizer by Serratia marcescens and Klebsiellia pneumoniae could serve as a great advantage for sustainable agricultural practices.

Attractability and palatability of formulated diets incorporated with chicken feather and algal meals for juvenile gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata

Aquaculture Reports, 2019
Treated chicken feather meal with 20, 35 and 50% replacement of fish meal (20, 35, 50 CHF), algal meal with 20 and 35% replacement of fish meal (20, 35 AM) and control diet (CNL) were tested for attractability and palatability to juvenile gilthead ...

Paler within the city: Carotenoid‐based colouration covaries negatively with the proportion of impervious surface in great tit (Parus major) territories across Europe

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across six European cities, great tits in more impervious territories had paler carotenoid‐based plumage, but not lower brightness or UV chroma. This suggests that urban habitat imperviousness is associated specifically with lower carotenoid pigment deposition, rather than broad changes in feather reflectance or structural quality.
