Transition of hemoglobin between two tertiary conformations: The transition constant differs significantly for the major and minor hemoglobins of the Japanese quail (Cortunix cortunix japonica) [PDF]

, 2007
We demonstrate that 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) – DTNB – reacts with only CysF9[93]β and CysB5[23]β among the multiple sulfhydryl groups of the major and minor hemoglobins of the Japanese quail (Cortunix cortunix japonica).

The genome sequence of the Western Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus Linnaeus, 1758 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Tetrao urogallus (the Western Capercaillie; Chordata; Aves; Galliformes; Phasianidae). The genome sequence is 1,013.2 megabases in length.

Understanding the implications of climate change for birds of the family Phasianidae: incorporating fleshy structures into models of heat dissipation capacity [PDF]

, 2015
Though widespread acceptance of global warming has generated a plethora of studies evaluating the potential responses of species to increased temperatures, until recently, species and genus-specific studies were not common and for many taxa such studies ...

Bird mortality related to collisions with ski–lift cables: do we estimate just the tip of the iceberg? [PDF]

, 2012
Collisions with ski–lift cables are an important cause of death for grouse species living close to alpine ski resorts. As several biases may reduce the detection probability of bird carcasses, the mortality rates related to these collisions are generally

The impact of downhill skiing on Galliformes and other birds

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
This work provides a systematic review of the impact of downhill skiing on birds. A literature search with no spatial and temporal restriction identified 48 documents in Web of Science and/or Scopus, which were used to investigate direct and indirect ...

Exploring Potential Intermediates in the Cross-Species Transmission of Influenza A Virus to Humans

Viruses
The influenza A virus (IAV) has been a major cause of several pandemics, underscoring the importance of elucidating its transmission dynamics. This review investigates potential intermediate hosts in the cross-species transmission of IAV to humans ...

Parsimony and Model-Based Analyses of Indels in Avian Nuclear Genes Reveal Congruent and Incongruent Phylogenetic Signals [PDF]

, 2013
Insertion/deletion (indel) mutations, which are represented by gaps in multiple sequence alignments, have been used to examine phylogenetic hypotheses for some time.

Detailed cytogenetic analysis of three duck species (the northern pintail, mallard, and common goldeneye) and karyotype evolution in the family Anatidae (Anseriformes, Aves)

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
Galliformes and Anseriformes are two branches of the Galloanserae group, basal to other Neognathae. In contrast to Galliformes, Anseriformes have not been thoroughly researched by cytogenetic methods.
