The effect of static incubation on the yolk sac vasculature of the Japanese quail (Coturnix c. japonica) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Static incubation affects early embryonic development with, notably, a reduction area vasculosa expansion and diminished sub-embryonic fluid (SEF) volume, effects produced during a ‘critical’ period (3-7 days in the chick) (Baggott et al., 2002).

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 ...

The Larger the Egg, the Safer the Nest: A Study on the Negative Correlation Between Nest Predation Rates and Egg Size of Two Tropical Phasianids in Hainan

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
There is a lack of research on the predation of tropical pheasant nests. The study conducted artificial nest experiments based on egg size and we have supported the viewpoint that using experimental eggs matched in size with those of natural eggs improves the accuracy of artificial nest simulation studies. ABSTRACT Nest predation is the principal cause

The Supplementation of Different Levels of Moringa oleifera Leaf Powder in Diet and Its Effect on Growth Performance, Carcass, Meat and Skin Quality Traits in Japanese Quails

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study investigated the dietary supplementation of different levels of Moringa oleifera leaf powder and its effect on growth performance, carcass and meat quality traits in Japanese quails. Dietary supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf powder improved body weight of quails at 2 weeks of age; however, it did not affect the carcass, skin and meat ...

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 15, 17 April 2026.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.
