The effect of rearing system and cooking method on the carnosine and anserine content of poultry and game meat [PDF]
, 2018 Poultry meat has been shown to be a rich source of carnosine and anserine (CRC) but little is known of the effects of bird species and the system under which it is reared have on the concentrations of CRC. Retail samples of breast meat from conventional

Origin of ocean island basalts in the West African passive margin without mantle plume involvement
Nature Communications, 2019 The genesis of hotspot magmatism remains controversial especially at continental margins such as offshore West Africa. Here, by analysing trace element and Pb isotopes of intraplate basalts, the authors conclude that their generation was caused by the ...

Positive selection underlies Faster-Z evolution of gene expression in birds. [PDF]
, 2015 The elevated rate of evolution for genes on sex chromosomes compared to autosomes (Fast-X or Fast-Z evolution) can result either from positive selection in the heterogametic sex, or from non-adaptive consequences of reduced relative effective population ...

CHROMOSOMES OF CHICKEN-PHEASANT HYBRIDS [PDF]
Annales de Génétique et de Sélection Animale, 1972 a majority of the embryos carry a haploid set each of chicken and pheasant chromosomes. Three of the male embryos resulting from chicken female-pheasant male crosses were cytogenetically indistinguishable from male domestic chicken whereas two embryos obtained from a similar cross, were chimeras composed of chicken cells and hybrid cells.

A review of the relationship between eggshell colour and water vapour conductance [PDF]
, 2011 This review brings together the available literature that examines the effect of variations in pigmentation on the gas conductance of avian eggshells. Pheasant and Houbara bustard eggs provide some evidence that shell abnormalities can impact upon colour
