Comparing Transcriptomic Responses to Chemicals Across Six Species Using the EcoToxChip RNASeq Database

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The EcoToxChip project includes RNA‐sequencing data from experiments involving model (Japanese quail, fathead minnow, African clawed frog) and ecological (double‐crested cormorant, rainbow trout, northern leopard frog) species at multiple life stages (whole embryo and adult) exposed to eight chemicals of environmental concern known to perturb ...

Inconsistent Transcriptomic Responses to Hexabromocyclododecane in Japanese Quail: A Comparative Analysis of Results From Four Different Study Designs

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

Estimation of growth parameters of body weight and body nutrient deposition in males and females of meat- and laying-type quail using the Gompertz model

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2018
The objective of this study was to estimate the growth parameters of body weight and body nutrient deposition in males and females of one meat- (Coturnix coturnix coturnix) and two laying-type quail strains (Coturnix coturnix japonica), designated either

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

Journal 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

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

Environmental 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

Integrative 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 ...

The Effect of Turmeric and Ginger Powder on Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix) Serum Lipid Profile

Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2019
Lipids are essential fatty acids. Lipids function as a source of energy and structural constituent components of Japanese quails. Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) is one of the livestock sectors that is efficient in providing nutrients, both ...

Comparative anatomy of chicken and human forelimb muscles: Implications for human congenital conditions through developmental models

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The chicken embryo is an accessible, low‐cost and genetically tractable model for studying limb development and congenital limb differences. We directly compared chicken and human limb musculature using published evidence alongside our own data and observations.
