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

, 2021 The blood profile and the effects of age, sex and time of bleeding on the parameters were investigated in a 2x 2x 2 factorial experiment using twenty four guinea fowls (Numida meleagrs paths).

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 ...

eLife, 2020 Animals must integrate feedforward, feedback and intrinsic mechanical control mechanisms to maintain stable locomotion. Recent studies of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) revealed that the distal leg muscles rapidly modulate force and work output to ...

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.

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

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.

, 2021 The blood serum protein and electrolyte levels as well as the effects of age, sex and time of bleeding on these were investigated in a 2x2x2 factorial experiment using twenty four mature guinea fowls(Numedia melagris pallas).

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide
Ecography, EarlyView.Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...
