Faecal steroid measurements for the assessment of reproductive function in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) and kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physiology at Massey University [PDF]
, 2002 The kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) is an endangered parrot endemic to New Zealand and little is known of its reproductive physiology. Reproductive function is conventionally determined by the measurement of reproductive steroids in plasma samples. This is

Developmental stages of the Japanese quail
Journal of Anatomy, 2009 AbstractDevelopmental biology research has used various avian species as model organisms for studying morphogenesis, with the chick embryo being used by the majority of groups. The focus on the chick embryo led Hamburger and Hamilton to develop their definitive staging series nearly 60 years ago and this series is still the mainstay of all laboratories

The pH and ionic composition of the sub-embryonic fluid of the Japanese quail (Coturnix c. japonica) [PDF]
, 2005 The current theory of acid-base chemistry regards [H+] as a dependent variable: changes in pH of a fluid can only occur by alteration of strong ion concentrations ([Na+], [K+], [Cl-]).

Life-history and hormonal control of aggression in black redstarts: blocking testosterone does not decrease territorial aggression, but changes the emphasis of vocal behaviours during simulated territorial intrusions [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction: Many studies in behavioural endocrinology attempt to link territorial aggression with testosterone, but the exact relationship between testosterone and territorial behaviour is still unclear and may depend on the ecology of a species.

Transbuccal Hypophysectomy in the Japanese Quail
Poultry Science, 1969 Abstract THE transbuccal approach of Hill and Parkes (1934) has proven to be a rapid and reliable method for hypophysectomy in Japanese quail. Although this approach requires considerable skill and causes some interference with the bird’s ability to feed, it has been widely used in the chicken because it allows good exposure of the anterior pituitary

[The Effects of Sardine and Palm Oil in Rations on the Ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Eggs of Coturnix coturnix japonica] [PDF]
, 2007 The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of sardine and palm oil in the ration on the performance and ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in egg of Japanese quail. The 210 quail were divided randomly into 7 groups and were fed on

Uterus-specific transcriptional regulation underlies eggshell pigment production in Japanese quail
PLoS ONE, 2022 The precursor of heme, protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), accumulates abundantly in the uteri of birds, such as Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica, which has brown-speckled eggshells; however, the molecular basis of PPIX production in the uterus remains largely ...
