PHENOTYPIC CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SOME EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL EGG QUALITY TRAITS IN GRAMAPRIYA LAYERS [PDF]

Exploratory Animal and Medical Research, 2015
In a study, 360 nos of eggs were randomly collected from 80 birds from a flock of Gramapriya layers for a period of twelve weeks and assessed individually for the evaluation of the egg quality traits and to study the phenotypic correlations between ...

Growth mindset is positively associated with mathematics attainment in Scotland—But socioeconomic status plays a greater role

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract There is currently a gap in knowledge around pupils' growth mindset (GM) and attainment in Scotland, particularly in relation to Socioeconomic Status (SES). This study offers insights on the relevance of growth mindset in Scotland for attainment in mathematics by drawing on large‐scale data from the OECD's Programme for International Student ...

Placental crises: disruptive selection and maternal under‐investment as the foundations of mammalian placental evolution and dysfunction

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Heritability of exterior egg quality traits in japanese quail

, 2007
The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for Japanese quail external egg quality traits. In this study, 1567 eggs were collected out of 584 Japanese quails which were caged individually. Egg weight (EW), specific gravity (ESG), width (WE) and height.(HE) of egg, shape index (ESI), shell thickness (ST), shell ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
