The energetics of young bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1980
Abstract 1. 1. An energetic model of growth and development of bobwhites was generated from measurement of energy intake, metabolized energy and body composition of chicks from hatching through asymptotic weight at 84 days of age. 2. 2. Maximum energy requirements occur at 65 days of age and growth measured in caloric terms produces different

ACUTE EFFECTS OF AFLATOXIN ON NORTHERN BOBWHITES (COLINUS VIRGINIANUS)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2013
Aflatoxin is a widely occurring and harmful mycotoxin produced by strains of Aspergillus spp. growing on vegetable matter. We investigated the concentration of aflatoxin needed to impair normal physiologic responses and induce acute morbidity and mortality in Northern Bobwhites (Colinus virginianus). Ten wild-caught adult bobwhites (five males and five

Bobwhite, Colinus virginianus, as Host for Heterakis and Histomonas

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1971
Bobwhites were experimentally infected with Histomonas meleagridis and Heterakis gallinarum. Chickens and turkeys were similarly infected for comparison. Although the bobwhites were nearly as susceptible to Histomonas infections as were New Hampshire chickens, and more susceptible to tissue invasion, clinical histomoniasis was much less severe than in ...

Homeothermic development in the bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1985
Abstract 1. 1. Evaporative heat loss (E), O2 consumption, CO2 production and internal body temperature (Tb) were measured in bobwhite (1–65 days of age) at specific ambient temperatures (Ta). 2. 2. tb at ta 25°C increased from 27.6° in 1-day-old quail to 41.1°C in the adult. 3. 3.

Ten microsatellite loci from Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)

Conservation Genetics, 2008
Ecological studies using microsatellite data often require the selection of an optimal marker set for use in parentage and relatedness inference. Commonly, this requires a candidate pool of microsatellite markers from which several are selected to ensure data are acquired efficiently and accurately.

Synchronization of Hatching in American Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus)

Nature, 1964
IT is known that chicken embryos show great variation in their rate of development. This is due to three main factors: variations in the latent period, variations in the environmental factors of incubation and the inherent variations of the embryos themselves1,2.

Distribution and excretion of hexachlorobenzene in bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1983
After a single dose of [14C]hexachlorobenzene (HCB) via gavage into the crop, the accumulation of [14C]HCB in female bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) tissues occurred to the greatest extent in adipose tissue followed by skin, liver, brain, heart and kidney, whole blood, and muscle.

DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF THE BOB-WHITE QUAIL EMBRYO (COLINUS VIRGINIANUS)

The Biological Bulletin, 1965
Since the well-known work by Hamburger and Hamilton ( 195 1) on normal chick enlbyros appeared, a number of workers have “? staged― embryos of various species of birds. They clearly established morphological and structural characteris tics as more reliable criteria than chronological age in the staging of chick enibryos. Rempel and Eastlick ( 1957)

Oral Lead Bullet Fragment Exposure in Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011
Lead (Pb) is a worldwide environmental contaminant known to adversely affect multiple organ systems in both mammalian and avian species. In birds, a common route of exposure is via oral ingestion of lead particles. Data are currently lacking for the retention and clearance of Pb bullet fragments in gastrointestinal (GI) tract of birds while linking ...
