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 ...

The relationship between eggshell color, hatching traits, fertility, mortality, and some qualitative aspects of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) eggs

Poultry Science
: Quail, one of the most important sources of meat and eggs, can aid in the reduction of the meat crisis if they are raised and cared for by small farmers.

Effect of elevated temperature on eggshell, eggshell powder and eggshell powder mortars for masonry applications

Journal of Building Engineering, 2019
Abstract Eggshell powder (ESP) may be an alternative natural sustainable supplementary cementitious material (SCM). Mortar specimens containing 0, 5, 10 and 20 wt. % of ESP as Portland cement replacements were submitted to 20, 150, 300 and 450°C.

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

Variability in Avian Eggshell Colour: A Comparative Study of Museum Eggshells

PLoS ONE, 2010
The exceptional diversity of coloration found in avian eggshells has long fascinated biologists and inspired a broad range of adaptive hypotheses to explain its evolution. Three main impediments to understanding the variability of eggshell appearance are: (1) the reliable quantification of the variation in eggshell colours; (2) its perception by birds ...

Domesticated bacterial origin genes regulate homeostasis of the insect gut microbiome and empower adaptation

iMeta, EarlyView.
Horizontal gene transfer introduced bacterial CDC genes into the leafhopper genome, providing genetic material for subsequent evolutionary innovation. Different CDC copies diversified at the sequence, structural, and functional levels. RdCDC3 retained its ancestral pore‐forming activity and was recruited for egg defense, whereas RdCDC9 lost its ...

Extracellular Matrix Molecules of the Eggshell as Related to Eggshell Quality [PDF]

, 1997
The extracellular matrix of the mineralizing eggshell contains molecules hypothesized to be regulators biomineralization. To study eggshell matrix molecules, a bank of monoclonal antibodies was generated that bound demineralized eggshell matrix or localized to oviduct epithelium.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Embryonic Development in Two High‐Elevation Oviparous Lizard Species: Contrasting Strategies for Coping With Cold Climates

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to local climates is crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. The cold climate of high elevations constitutes a physiological challenge for reptiles, especially during the embryonic stages of oviparous species, because embryos have limited ability to thermoregulate behaviorally. To examine how
