EGG PRODUCTIVITY OF EGFP-TRANSGENIC DUCKS

Animal Science and Food Technology, 2019
The results of the analysis of egg production of two generations transgenic ducks (TD) by EGFP gene are presented in the article. TD were obtained by transferring foreign DNA using sperm (SMGT). The egg production of first-generation TD (experimental group) was compared with that of non-transgenic ducks (control group) of the same age and line.

An experimental examination of dispersal decisions made by flight‐capable heteropteran insects in urban stormwater pond conditions

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salty conditions in urban stormwater ponds can influence dispersal timing in species‐specific ways for actively dispersing aquatic heteropteran insects. Assaying multiple aspects of dispersal propensity, Hesperocorixa obliqua emigrated earlier in stormwater pond conditions while overall probabilities remained unchanged; Notonecta undulata emigration ...

Adapting the growth‐form concept to geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) are a diverse group of calcifying macroalgae, loosely united by flexible upright axes formed by alternating calcified (intergenicula) and uncalcified segments (genicula), a trait that has independently arisen several times.

Using Local Expert Knowledge to Measure Prices: Evidence From a Survey Experiment in Vietnam

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many countries lack spatially disaggregated consumer price data needed to estimate real inequality and spatial patterns of poverty. Such data are especially absent in poor countries where weak infrastructure and high transport costs create large price variation over space.

General practice veterinarians’ attitudes towards avian influenza: A COM‐B analysis of barriers to backyard poultry treatment

Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 6, Page e237-e247, 14/21 March 2026.
Abstract Background The recent expansion of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 to non‐avian species in the United States has intensified public health‐related concerns. In Great Britain, low veterinarian confidence in seeing and treating birds creates potential barriers to HPAI diagnosis and reporting.

Grape Seed Polyphenols Enhance Antioxidant Activity and Prolong the Lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans Through SKN‐1/Nrf2 Pathway

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 67-79, March 2026.
GSP extends C. elegans lifespan, enhances stress resistance and reproduction, boosts antioxidant defenses (↑SOD/CAT/GSH‐Px, ↓ROS), remodels glycolysis/TCA/one‐carbon metabolism dose‐dependently, and activates SKN‐1/Nrf2 and H3K4 methylation—linking redox control to epigenetic modulation.
