Effects of Perching on Poultry Welfare and Production: A Review
Poultry, 2023 Perching is one of the essential natural behaviors for avian species. Providing an optimal perching design (e.g., shape, dimension, and materials) for commercial poultry production is critical for maintaining bird health, welfare, and production ...

Artificial Perches: Ecological and Functional Aspects of its Contribution in the Atlantic Forest
Floresta e Ambiente, 2020 Ecological restoration through conventional plantation techniques can create forests with low biodiversity. As such, one way to overcome possible shortcomings of the restoration process is to use nucleation techniques, such as artificial perches.

Phylogenomic history of enigmatic pygmy perches: implications for biogeography, taxonomy and conservation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Pygmy perches (Percichthyidae) are a group of poorly dispersing freshwater fishes that have a puzzling biogeographic disjunction across southern Australia. Current understanding of pygmy perch phylogenetic relationships suggests past east–west migrations

Keel bone damage in laying hens reared in different production systems in Serbia [PDF]
Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2017 The European Union in 2012 banned conventional battery cages for the welfare reasons. However, transition to new housing systems uncovered some new problems, such as keel bone damage (KBD), which also could endanger welfare of laying hens.
