Floor Substrate Preferences of Chickens: A Meta-Analysis
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Environmental enrichment promotes sensory and motor stimulation for species-typical behaviors, which in turn enhance animal well-being. For farmed Galliformes, housing systems often limit enrichment to bedding and litter, that simultaneously act as ...

Haptoglobins In Some Galliformes Birds
Poultry Science, 1977 In several groups of galliform birds (chicken, turkey, pheasant and guinea fowl) the presence and function of plasma haptoglobin (Hp) have been studied. Paper, acetate and starch-gel electrophoresis were carried out and two benzidine stain regions were observed when haemoglobin (Hb) was added to normal plasma (Hb-Hp complex and methemalbumin) besides ...

Ecography, EarlyView.The abundance center hypothesis (ACH) posits that species abundance peaks at distribution centers; however, empirical support remains inconsistent. This study tested the generality of the ACH and investigated species traits as mediators of abundance–distance relationships.

Svalbard rock ptarmigan: a first glimpse into parasite infections
Polar ResearchNatural ecosystems are under stress due to climate change and impacts are especially prominent at high latitudes. Manifestations of these changes include northward shifts in the distribution of birds, phenological mismatches, improved survival of ...

The draft genome of the Temminck’s tragopan (Tragopan temminckii) with evolutionary implications
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background High-quality genome data of birds play a significant role in the systematic study of their origin and adaptive evolution. The Temminck’s tragopan (Tragopan temminckii) (Galliformes, Phasianidae), a larger pheasant, is one of the most abundant ...

, 2018 Galliformes and columbifomes are closely associated with humans and some species have been domesticated for well over 5000 years. Both orders remain diverse, ranging from the common domestic poultry species (e.g., chicken, turkey, and squabs) to the more exotic species found in the wild and in zoological collections.

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring.
