How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.

Keratin biofilm from chicken feathers
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 Abstract Keratin is an important biomaterial for industrial applications. About 90% of keratin is found in chicken feathers. Previous study showed that solid-state fermentation of keratinase by Bacillus sp. MD24 using chicken feathers a sole carbon and nitrogen source produced micro-keratin as a solid by-product.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

Mechanisms of early- and late-feathering in Qingyuan partridge chickens
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019 Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important in feather development and feathering patterns, but few studies on this subject have been conducted in chickens.

RAI14 in the blood feather regulates chicken pigmentation.
Archives animal breeding, 2020 A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed on a resource family consisting of white and colored chickens for identification of genes related to plumage coloration using the Fixed and random model Circulating Probability Unification (FarmCPU) package.

Protein hydrolysates in cell culture: Toward multi‐omics characterization
Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.While protein hydrolysates are widely used in cell culture applications, they remain undefined and variable products. Multi‐omic characterization evaluating composition and function can transition hydrolysates toward semi‐defined media components.
