Isolation and characterization of bacteria residing in the oral, gut, and fecal samples of different pheasant species

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
There is a paucity of research conducted on microbial prevalence in pheasants. The microbiota of captive birds has zoonotic significance and must be characterize.

Effects of Livestock Grazing on Spatio-Temporal Patterns and Behaviour of Reeves’s Pheasant Syrmaticus reevesii

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Protected areas are seeing an increase in anthropogenic disturbances in the world. Previous studies have demonstrated the impact of livestock grazing and human presence on the habitat use of birds, whereas little is known about the effect of free-ranging

The Gut Microbiota of Pheasant Lineages Reflects Their Host Genetic Variation

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
The host gut colonized enormous microbial community, which can be influenced by diet, diseases, behavior, age, gender, hereditary effects, and environmental factors.

Genetic variation of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC class II B gene) in the threatened Hume's pheasant, Syrmaticus humiae.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are the most polymorphic genes in vertebrates and encode molecules that play a crucial role in pathogen resistance.

Morphologic and Morphometric Study of the Heart and Its Great Arteries in the Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus). [PDF]

open access: yesVet Med Sci
The common pheasant heart is elongated and conical, with thicker left ventricular walls and a complex atrioventricular valve structure. Purkinje fibres show strong desmin but no α‐SMA expression, providing detailed insights into cardiovascular morphology and adaptations in birds, supporting comparative and conservation studies.

Lead concentrations in commercial dogfood containing pheasant in the UK

open access: yesAmbio, 2023
UK and EU regulators are evaluating the potential health benefits of restricting the use of lead ammunition. Little information is available on exposure of pets to ammunition-derived dietary lead from petfood containing meat from wild-shot game animals ...

Habitat selection and density of common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) in Northern Italy: effects of land use cover and landscape configuration

open access: yesZeitschrift f\ ur Jagdwissenschaft, 2022
Knowing the ecology of game species is important to define sustainable hunting pressure and to plan management actions aimed to maintain viable populations.

Population and risk assessment of sympatric pheasant species in Palas Valley, Pakistan.

open access: yesBrazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia, 2022
Pheasants are declining everywhere in the world and therefore updated information about their population and habitats are important for conservation and management.

Assessing the origin, genetic structure and demographic history of the common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) in the introduced European range

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The common pheasant, a game species widely introduced throughout the world, can be considered as an ideal model to study the effects of introduction events on local adaptations, biogeographic patterns, and genetic divergence processes. We aimed to assess

Reduced genetic variability in a captive-bred population of the endangered Hume’s pheasant (Syrmaticus humiae, Hume 1881) revealed by microsatellite genotyping and D-loop sequencing

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Captive breeding programs are crucial to ensure the survival of endangered species and ultimately to reintroduce individuals into the wild. However, captive-bred populations can also deteriorate due to inbreeding depression and reduction of genetic ...
