Assessment of long-range correlation in animal behaviour time series: the temporal pattern of locomotor activity of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix) and mosquito larva (Culex quinquefasciatus) [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a classical method of fractal analysis, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), in the analysis of the dynamics of animal behavior time series. In order to correctly use DFA to assess the presence of

Silent Spring - the lost call [PDF]
, 2008 The "silence" in Rachel Carson's Silent Spring1 alludes to the demise of bird populations through reproductive problems and death resulting from exposure to the pesticides of that time, many of which are endocrine active.

Testicular growth and comb and wattles development in three Italian chicken genotypes reared under free range conditions [PDF]
, 2015 Male chickens belonging to three Italian purebreds \u2013 Ermellinata di Rovigo (ER), Robusta lionata (RL) and Robusta maculata (RM) \u2013 were studied. All the birds were reared under the same rearing conditions (from May until autumn).

Pendulous Crop in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Poultry Science, 1974 Abstract Quail chicks from a line selected for growth on a low protein (17.9%) glucose monohydrate-soybean meal diet showed a high incidence, 44.0%, of pendulous crop as compared to 11.8% in the control line fed the same ration. Substituting sucrose for glucose monohydrate did not change the incidence of pendulous crop in either the control or the ...

Characteristics and Behavior of Guineafowl and Domesticated Chicken Hybrids [PDF]
, 1976 The description, behavior, and morphologic measurements are presented for two hybrid crosses of domesticated chicken and guineafowl. The ease at which gallinaceous birds hybridize might warrant a closer look at the classification system.

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 4, April 2026.Dietary fats can influence egg production and egg nutritional quality in quails. In this study, different lipid sources were evaluated in combination with hydrolyzable tannins in diets for Japanese quails. The results showed that specific fat sources can improve production performance and modify the fatty acid composition and antioxidant capacity of ...

An in vitro assay for neural crest cell migration through the somites [PDF]
, 1986 Neural crest cells in the trunk of the avian embryo come into contact with the somites and neural tube during the course of their migration. However, the relationship between the somites and the early migratory routes followed by these cells is not yet ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 800-815, April 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Studies have shown that organisms may adjust metabolic rates in response to thermal variability, highlighting metabolic plasticity as a key adaptive mechanism. Understanding the extent of metabolic plasticity of an organism is key to predicting its adaptation to climate

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.
