Critical assessment of methods of protein structure prediction: Progress and new directions in round XI [PDF]

, 2016
Modeling of protein structure from amino acid sequence now plays a major role in structural biology. Here we report new developments and progress from the CASP11 community experiment, assessing the state of the art in structure modeling. Notable points

Migration strategies, performance and annual activity budget in a short‐distance migrant, the common starling Sturnus vulgaris

Journal of Avian Biology, 2023
Migratory birds typically separate energetically demanding parts of the annual cycle like breeding, moult and migration with some species engaging in so‐called moult‐migration.

Evolution of some Haematological Parameters during the Process of Spontaneous Moult in Hy-Line Brown Hens

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Veterinary Medicine, 2022
The purpose of this paper was to find out the evolution of the main haematological parameters in Hy-Line var. Brown hens raised in industrial system, during a natural moult process.

Hovering hummingbird wing aerodynamics during the annual cycle. II. Implications of wing feather moult [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Birds usually moult their feathers in a particular sequence which may incur aerodynamic, physiological and behavioural implications. Among birds, hummingbirds are unique species in their sustained hovering flight.

Moult habitat, pre- and post-moult diet and post-moult travel of Ross Sea emperor penguins [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2004
During a series of transect legs through the pack ice of the eastern Ross Sea, aboard the RV icebreaker 'Nathaniel B. Palmer', we: (1) assessed the habitat chosen for moulting by emperor penguins, Aptenodytes forsteri, (2) determined their pre- and post-moult diets, (3) measured the pre- and post-moult body mass of the birds, and (4) tracked their post-

Do seaducks minimise the flightless period? Inter- and intra-specific comparisons of remigial moult. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Remigial moult is one of the crucial events in the annual life cycle of waterfowl as it is energetically costly, lasts several weeks, and is a period of high vulnerability due to flightlessness. In waterfowl, remigial moult can be considered as an energy-

Moult-breeding trade-offs in the Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) could have management applications

Avian Research
Moult is an essential event in the annual cycle of birds. Moult patterns and strategies of birds are crucial for understanding their life-history trade-offs and adaptations to the environment.

Egg development, hatching rhythm and moult patterns in Paralomos spinosissima (Decapoda: Anomura: Paguroidea: Lithodidae) from South Georgia waters (Southern Ocean) [PDF]

, 2007
Larval release, hatching rhythms and moult patterns were examined in a captive population of the subantarctic lithodid, Paralomis spinosissima from the South Georgia and Shag Rocks region.

Global review of quantitative studies of primary moult of birds using the Underhill-Zucchini moult model

Frontiers in Bird Science
Knowledge about the timing of moult and how it fits into the annual cycle, along with breeding and, in some cases migration, is an important component of understanding the life history of birds.
