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.

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 ...

Molecular cytogenetic characterization of repetitive sequences comprising centromeric heterochromatin in three Anseriformes species.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The highly repetitive DNA sequence of centromeric heterochromatin is an effective molecular cytogenetic marker for investigating genomic compartmentalization between macrochromosomes and microchromosomes in birds.

Infraspecific phenotypic variation of the California Quail (Callipepla californica, Aves: Odontophoridae) from Baja California peninsula, Mexico

Huitzil, 2018
To determine useful diagnostic characters for infraspecific taxonomic identification of California Quail (Callipepla californica) from Baja California peninsula, we compared phenotypically four nominal subspecies by means of multivariate statistical ...

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The published literature indicates that off‐highway vehicles (OHVs) predominantly negatively affect native Arizona amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, while effects of OHVs on native Arizona birds are mostly unknown or neutral. Abstract Off‐highway vehicle (OHV) recreation has dramatically increased in Arizona, USA, prompting concerns about potential ...

From field to lab, facilitating non‐invasive genetic survey. Lessons from an arctic bird living at the edge, the rock ptarmigan in the French Alps

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta is an elusive species whose monitoring is hindered by its cryptic behavior and the difficulty in accessing its high‐elevation habitats. Although non‐invasive genetic sampling offers a promising alternative, its effectiveness can be constrained by DNA degradation and environmental conditions.
