Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

The importance of microscopic examinations of eggshells: Discrimination of bioalteration and diagenetic overprints from biological features [PDF]

, 2010
Although fossilization usually favors the preservation of calcium carbonate biominerals, diagenetic alterations might still produce erratic patterns that overprint the original biological structures. This investigation tries to discriminate in the fossil

A comprehensive embryonic staging series of the turtle Trachemys scripta

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Turtles hold a unique place in vertebrate evolutionary history, making them critical assets in embryology research. Yet, they remain understudied as potential model organisms in the field. Here, to support experimental manipulations with turtle embryos, we have created a complete normal table of development for comprehensive ...
