Neutral effects of low‐intensity dog training on northern bobwhite vital rates

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Indirect effects of hunting can lead to changes in population dynamics, which can be caused by trait‐mediated effects such as, but not limited to, changes in behavior, reproduction, and physiological responses. Our understanding of the effects of activities associated with hunting such as dog training may incur trait‐mediated effects, and ultimately ...

Combined effects of habitat and interspecific interaction define co-occurrence patterns of sympatric Galliformes

Avian Research, 2019
Background Disentangling the relative importance of environmental variables and interspecific interaction in modulating co-occurrence patterns of sympatric species is essential for understanding the mechanisms of community assembly and biodiversity.

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 ...

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

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 ...

Microsatellite typing of avian clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

, 2011
Aspergillosis is one of the most common causes of death in captive birds. Aspergillosis in birds is mainly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, a ubiquitous and opportunistic saprophyte.

Checklist and distribution of Galliform Birds (Order: Galliformes) in Iraq

Bionatura, 2023
A total of four genera and four species belong to one family, Phasianidae, Order Galliformes; about 72 specimens deposited in the bird's collection in the Iraq "Natural History Research Center and Museum INHM" were reviewed. In the current study, morphometrics of four species of taxidermy Galliform birds: Chukor Alectoris graeca (Meisner, 1804), Seesee

Hunting and fishing harvest data collection: a horizon scanning exercise from the French context

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Legal and societal moves increasingly lead leisure hunting and fishing practitioners to record their harvest. The total number of individuals harvested per population per year is the minimum required information to feed into demographic models and allow science‐based management. Some few schemes record more detailed data, hence allowing better‐informed

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.

Elevational range and timing of breeding in the birds of Ladakh: the effects of body mass, status and diet [PDF]

, 2009
We studied the effects of body mass, status (resident or migratory) and diet on the breeding elevation range and timing of reproduction of the birds in the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh, northwestern India.
