A comprehensive embryonic staging series of the turtle Trachemys scripta
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 3, Page 260-320, March 2026.Abstract Background Turtles hold a unique place in vertebrate evolutionary history, making them critical assets in embryology research. Yet, they remain understudied as potential model organisms in the field. Here, to support experimental manipulations with turtle embryos, we have created a complete normal table of development for comprehensive ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study developed a noninvasive method for the DNA extraction and PCR‐based genetic sexing of S. demersus using guano and molted feather samples. Two primer sets (CHD1F/R & 2550F/2718R) were used that target sex‐specific length polymorphisms in the CHD1‐Z and CHD1‐W genes on the CHD1 sex chromosomes. Using methods optimized for the extraction of DNA

Detection of avian leukosis virus using polymerase chain reaction and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay [PDF]
, 2004 The applications of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in detecting avian leukosis virus (ALV) subgroups A and J were studied in a flock of breeder chickens. Out of 74 chickens tested 9, 36, 13 and 16 were found

, 2022 Genetic research is a key component to modern wildlife conservation, but it is contingent on the collection of reliable and high-quality genetic samples. Invasive genetic sampling techniques have potential to negatively impact individuals, which may be prohibitive when working with threatened and endangered species.

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.This study integrates two decades of surveillance with genomic and structural analyses to decipher how spike protein glycosylation haplotypes drive avian coronavirus evolution. We uncover how specific glycosylation patterns associate with receptor‐binding affinity, shape global transmission dynamics, and correlate with clinical outcomes.

Bridging the gap: improving methodologies for future avian microbiome research
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Recent advances in the field of wild avian microbiome research have significantly deepened our understanding of the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of bird–microbe interactions. Consequently, the field is now approaching a pivotal moment in uncovering the ultimate factors shaping avian microbiome structure, especially in relation to birds' ecological ...
