Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Effect of breeder age on eggshell thickness, surface temperature, hatchability and chick weigh

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2012
Two experiments were carried out to study the effect of breeder age on incubation parameters (hatchability, eggshell thickness, egg surface temperature and chick weight). In Exp.

Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) eggshell pigmentation, maculation and thickness

Ornis Fennica, 2018
Eggshells properties (mainly thickness, pigmentation and shape) vary within avian taxa across species, and intraspecifically with age, environmental conditions or individual features of the animals. The properties and appearance of eggshells are important for successful breeding both for birds kept in captivity and in breeding centres and those living ...

Regulation of Oxygen Vacancies in High Entropy Oxides With Multi‐Layer Eggshell Architectural Framework for Boosting the Electrochemical Performance of Supercapacitors

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
An oxygen vacancy–rich FeZnCuCoNi high‐entropy oxide was constructed using a dual‐defect engineering strategy. This multi‐layer eggshell‐structured material delivers remarkable electrochemical performance, with high specific capacitance, excellent rate capability, and long‐term cycling stability even after 10 000 cycles.

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 ...

Microemulsion‐Based Drilling Fluids Incorporating Seashell Residue Powder: A Sustainable Approach to Fluid Loss Control

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
Two microemulsion‐based drilling fluids incorporating SSRP were formulated using pine oil, the nonionic surfactant Alkonat L100W, and a glycerol/water solution. The results provide valuable insights into how surfactant‐assisted microemulsion systems can be engineered to enhance the performance and eco‐efficiency of drilling fluids.

Calcium and Phosphorus Metabolism and Eggshell Thickness in Laying Hens Producing Thick or Thin Shells

Poultry Science, 1992
Two experiments were carried out to investigate the Ca and P metabolism of hens laying thick- (THK) or thin-shelled (THN) eggs on shell-forming days (SF) and days on which shell formation does not occur (NSF). In Experiment 1, 10 hens identified as producing THK or 10 hens producing THN eggs were offered a diet containing 3.5% Ca and .4% available P ...

The effect of developmental stage on eggshell thickness variation in endangered falcons [PDF]

Zoology, 2010
We compared eggshell thickness of hatched eggs with that of non-developed eggs in endangered falcon taxa to explore the effect of embryo development on eggshell thinning. To our knowledge, this has never been examined before in falcons, despite the fact that eggshell thinning due to pollutants and environmental contamination is often considered the ...

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,
