Removing exogenous information using pedigree data
, 2011 Management of certain populations requires the preservation of its pure genetic background. When, for different reasons, undesired alleles are introduced, the original genetic conformation must be recovered.

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 349-356, 1 February 2026.Abstract The design of in vivo studies using laboratory animals is normally guided by the 3Rs: Replacement, Reduction and Refinement. The concept of Reduction is particularly important in the context of estimating sample size; the selected sample size should allow the detection of a predetermined effect size using appropriate statistical tests, but not

The pH and ionic composition of the sub-embryonic fluid of the Japanese quail (Coturnix c. japonica) [PDF]
, 2005 The current theory of acid-base chemistry regards [H+] as a dependent variable: changes in pH of a fluid can only occur by alteration of strong ion concentrations ([Na+], [K+], [Cl-]).

Matching Multiple Backgrounds: Egg Camouflage Across Different Habitats in a Shorebird
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We studied egg camouflage in Kentish plovers nesting in two visually distinct habitats, sandy beaches and salt marshes, in southern Spain. Despite initial expectations of local adaptation or compromise camouflage, the birds instead chose nest sites within each habitat that shared overlapping colour and visual texture characteristics, allowing effective

Birds Decorating Their Nests With Plastic May Suffer Less Egg Depredation by Corvids
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Many birds add anthropogenic material to the nest. We presented artificial nests on the ground in spring, each with two quail eggs and half of them decorated with pieces of white plastic. The plastic induced a neophobic response in territorial European magpies, reducing the rate of nest predation.

Phenotypic flexibility and the evolution of organismal design [PDF]
, 2003 Evolutionary biologists often use phenotypic differences between species and between individuals to gain an understanding of organismal design. The focus of much recent attention has been on developmental plasticity – the environmentally induced ...
