Nutritional quality assessment of different muscles derived from 15-year-old female emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae): Meat physicochemical traits and sensory scores

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is considered a versatile farm species whose main by-products are meat and oil. At present, there is lack of information on the value of the meat of laying females at the end of their reproductive cycle which hampers ...

Surgical management of an open humeral fracture in a greater rhea (Rhea americana): Internal placement of a locking compression plate and post‐operative complications

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
SUMMARY A 17‐year‐old, 24‐kg, female greater rhea (Rhea americana) presented with an acute onset of left wing droop. Clinical examination and radiographs revealed an open, simple, displaced, short‐oblique diaphyseal fracture of the distal third of the left humerus.

Serum levels of proteins and acute-phase proteins in captive emus ( Dromaius novaehllandieae ) of different ages

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
Protein electrophoresis is a relatively simple technique that allows separating serum protein fractions, and provides important information in the investigation and diagnosis of several diseases.

Urban Bushland Wildfire Adaptation: Lessons From Managing Grassland Biodiversity and Woody Thickening on the Queens Domain, Hobart, Tasmania

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban bushland fragments have important natural and social values. Their management is challenging because they typically have experienced complex historical disturbances, making it difficult to settle on the most appropriate restoration targets. We illustrate these issues by chronicling vegetation and fire regime changes in the Queens Domain,

Immobilization secondary to cell death of muscle precursors with a dual transcriptional signature contributes to the emu wing skeletal pattern

Nature Communications
Limb reduction has occurred multiple times in tetrapod history. Among ratites, wing reductions range from mild vestigialization to complete loss, with emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) serving as a model for studying the genetic mechanisms behind limb ...

Avian lungs: A novel scaffold for lung bioengineering.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Allogeneic lung transplant is limited both by the shortage of available donor lungs and by the lack of suitable long-term lung assist devices to bridge patients to lung transplantation. Avian lungs have different structure and mechanics resulting in more

The Effect of Incubator Type on Hatchability and Chick Survival of Emu Dromaius Novae Hollandiae (Le Souef 1907)

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2010
The population of wildlife is declining due to unsustainable harvest for meat. There is need to increase animal protein to fill the gap between the demand and supply from conventional sources through production and management of non-conventional sources ...

A simplified protocol for molecular sexing in the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)

Poultry Science, 2018
Male and female emus are nearly identical both as chicks and as adults. Although morphological differences of the internal genital tract can be used to distinguish the sexes, a high degree of diagnostic skill is required for accurate sexing. DNA-based sexing methods are highly accurate and can be used to diagnose sex without requiring a high degree of ...

Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 199-220, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...
