Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Anatomical and biomechanical traits of broiler chickens across ontogeny. Part II. Body segment inertial properties and muscle architecture of the pelvic limb [PDF]
, 2014 In broiler chickens, genetic success for desired production traits is often shadowed by welfare concerns related to musculoskeletal health. Whilst these concerns are clear, a viable solution is still elusive.

TRANSMISSIBLE ENTERITIS IN YOUNG GUINEA FOWL [PDF]
Annales de Zootechnie, 1975 This disease occurring in intensive rearing conditions causes the death of young birds between the jth and the 28th day of age. The highest mortality is between the 5th and the 15 th day of age. It is characterized by enteritis and nephritis. On the crop of young animals it is possible to see, in some clinical observations typical candidosis lesions. A

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Macroscopic embryonic development of Guinea fowl compared to other domestic bird species
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2019 Since few studies have addressed the embryonic development of Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris), the objective of the present study was to evaluate its embryonic development in the Cerrado region of Brazil and compare the results to published descriptions ...

Swing-leg trajectory of running guinea fowl suggests task-level priority of force regulation rather than disturbance rejection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 To achieve robust and stable legged locomotion in uneven terrain, animals must effectively coordinate limb swing and stance phases, which involve distinct yet coupled dynamics.

Waves of genomic hitchhikers shed light on the evolution of gamebirds (Aves: Galliformes) : research article [PDF]
, 2007 Background The phylogenetic tree of Galliformes (gamebirds, including megapodes, currassows, guinea fowl, New and Old World quails, chicken, pheasants, grouse, and turkeys) has been considerably remodeled over the last decades as new data and analytical ...
