Elevating Testosterone and Androstenedione Produces Temporary Sex-Dependent Variation in Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica) Embryonic Development. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Vertebrate growth rates may respond to maternally supplied steroids, yet injections of individual hormones into avian eggs of different species have produced inconsistent results. This might be because diverse steroids' concentrations are naturally correlated in yolks, injections are not elevating hormones at critical times in development, or ...

THE QUAIL, Coturnix coturnix, AS A LABORATORY ANIMAL [PDF]
The quail, Coturnix coturnix, is small, gentle, hardy, adaptable, easy to house, and economical to maintain. Wetherbee and Jacobs (1960) call it the “Drosophila of the avian laboratory,” and yet this charming bird is virtually unknown to the psychological laboratory.

Stress induced polarization of immune-neuroendocrine phenotypes in Gallus gallus [PDF]
Immune-neuroendocrine phenotypes (INPs) stand for population subgroups differing in immune-neuroendocrine interactions. While mammalian INPs have been characterized thoroughly in rats and humans, avian INPs were only recently described in Coturnix ...

Influence of environmental temperature and electrolyte balance on the performance of quails (Coturnix Coturnix Coturnix) [PDF]
High environmental temperatures have a negative effect on the production efficiency of poultry reared in hot climates. This study evaluated the efficiency of electrolyte supplementation under high environmental temperature conditions by manipulating water and feed electrolyte balance (EB) on the survival and performance of European quails.

Digital Three-Dimensional Atlas of Quail Development Using High-Resolution MRI [PDF]
We present an archetypal set of three-dimensional digital atlases of the quail embryo based on microscopic magnetic resonance imaging (µMRI). The atlases are composed of three modules: (1) images of fixed ex ovo quail, ranging in age from embryonic day 5

Assembly of the Inner Perivitelline Layer, a Homo log of the Mammalian Zona Pellucida: An Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Study [PDF]
The avian inner perivitelline layer (IPVL), a homologous structure to the mammalian zona pellucida, is deposited between the granulosa cells and the oocyte cell membrane during folliculogenesis. The glycoprotein meshwork of the IPVL forms a 3-dimensional
