Holding on or heading up? The roosting preferences of brown- and white-feathered laying hen pullets [PDF]

Poultry Science
Although laying hens are known to be motivated to roost as high as possible and to use a perch that allows them to grasp, little is known about how these behaviours develop in young birds.

Similarity and Genetic Variation of Climbing Perch, Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1792), From Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan Islands, Indonesia [PDF]

Scientifica
Climbing perch, Anabas testudineus, is an economically important freshwater fish in Indonesia. The climbing perch, also known as betok, has emerged as a prominent species in aquaculture due to its air-breathing ability, which allows the climbing perch to

Altered Visual Function in Short-Wave-Sensitive 1 (sws1) Gene Knockout Japanese Medaka (Oryzias latipes) Larvae

Cells, 2023
Visual perception plays a crucial role in foraging, avoiding predators, mate selection, and communication. The regulation of color vision is largely dependent on opsin, which is the first step in the formation of the visual transduction cascade in ...

Functional Characterization and Molecular Marker Development of the Proenkephalin as Biomarker of Food Addiction in Food Habit Domestication of Mandarin Fish (Siniperca chuatsi)

Fishes, 2022
Proenkephalin (PENK), as the precursor of endogenous opioid enkephalin (ENK), is widely present in the nervous system and plays an important role in animal food addiction and rewarding behavior.
