Comparison of the Chromosome Structures between the Chicken and Three Anserid Species, the Domestic Duck (Anas platyrhynchos), Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata), and Chinese Goose (Anser cygnoides), and the Delineation of their Karyotype Evolution by Comparative Chromosome Mapping

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2014
To better understand the process of karyotype evolution in Galloanserae (Galliformes and Anseriformes), we performed comparative chromosome painting with chicken chromosome-specific DNA probes and FISH mapping of the 18S-28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes ...

Evolutionary pathways to convergence in plumage patterns. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Avian plumage is ideal for investigating phenotypic convergence because of repeated evolution of the same within-feather patterns. In birds, there are three major types of regular patterns within feathers: scales, bars and spots.

Survival of translocated Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse: recognizing trends in post-release mortality to improve reintroductions

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Survival of translocated prairie-grouse (Tympanuchus spp.) is often low in the first few weeks or months following release into a novel environment. Understanding the processes and mechanisms that influence short-term, post-release survival, such as ...

Thyroid hormone metabolism in poultry [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2000
Thyroid hormone (TH) receptors preferentially bind 3.5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3). Therefore the metabolism of thyroxine (T4) secreted by the thyroid gland in peripheral tissues, resulting in the production and degradation of receptor-active T3, plays a ...

Distribution modelling and climate change risk assessment strategy for rare Himalayan Galliformes species using archetypal data abundant cohorts for adaptation planning

Climate Risk Management, 2021
In a macroecological approach, we have used the data abundant species or archetypal cohorts as proxies for the data deficient species, to model their distributions.
