Sex and Ontogenetic Variation in the Crest of Numida meleagris: Implications for Crested Vertebrates
The Anatomical Record, 2019 ABSTRACTCrested vertebrates are known from a wide variety of modern and fossil taxa, however, the actual formation and function of the crest is still debatable. Among modern birds, the globally distributed guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) is characterized by having a cranial bony crest (overlain by keratin), but surprisingly little is known about its ...

Candling Analysis of Egg Development in an Endangered Bird Species Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using candling images from 98 eggs, we present the first detailed description of egg and embryonic development in the endangered crested ibis. We identify diagnostic features of nonviable eggs and reveal that embryo mortality is concentrated during mid‐incubation and shortly before hatching. These findings provide a standardized reference for assessing

Effect of Body Configuration on Perturbation Resistance Across Arboreal Lizard Species
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 2, Page 127-136, March 2026.ABSTRACT Animals that inhabit high‐risk habitats often exhibit morphological and behavioral adaptations to contend with environmental challenges. In arboreal (tree‐based) habitats, such adaptations can include corrective behaviors, such as modification of body‐limb angles, to avoid dislodgement by perturbations.
