Genetic evaluation of European quails by random regression models

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of this study was to compare different random regression models, defined from different classes of heterogeneity of variance combined with different Legendre polynomial orders for the estimate of (co)variance of quails.

Offspring Global DNA Methylation is not Affected by Parental Developmental Stress Experience in a Passerine Species

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid phenotypic change may be mediated by intergenerational transmission of early developmental experiences. In birds, exposure to glucocorticoids during early development can alter global DNA methylation and gene expression. However, DNA methylation is labile, and it is currently unclear whether the impacts of stress suffered during juvenile

Uptake, metabolism, and bioremediation of neonicotinoid insecticides in soil–plant systems: A review

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the uptake and metabolic transformation of neonicotinoid insecticides in plants, showing that some metabolites exhibit higher toxicity. We also critically assess promising bioremediation strategies using microbes and plant–microbe interactions to reduce residue contamination.

Experimental Evidence for Mobilization of Mercury From the Eggshell by the Developing Embryo in an Avian Model Organism

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the many pollutants wildlife is exposed to, mercury ranks among the most toxic. In birds, mercury does not only accumulate within generations, but also is transferred across generations via maternal offloading in eggs, with higher mercury concentrations found in shells of unhatched eggs.

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Impact of climate on the migration phenology of the endangered Little Bustard in Spain

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The phenology of animals is closely tied to seasonal climatic patterns so, by altering temperature and precipitation regimes, climate change disrupts the phenological cycles of species. More specifically, the influence of rising temperatures on the phenology of bird migration has been long studied.
