Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effects of breeder hen age on the incubation performance, embryonic development, and progeny quality of Cobb500 broiler breeders at 39, 51, and 69 weeks of age. A total of 870 eggs were collected, of which 810 were incubated; these were assigned to a completely randomized design with three treatments and nine ...

Phylogenomics of the American robin (Turdus migratorius) reveals hidden lineages and introgression
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.Phylogenomic analyses of Turdus migratorius uncover four previously unrecognized lineages, including a divergent Baja California lineage (T. m. confinis). The results reveal complex evolutionary relationships that depart from simple models of continuous divergence, supported by evidence of introgression between the Mexican lineage and its previously ...

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.In social birds such as flamingos, intraspecific interactions are frequent and play a key role in flock cohesion, communication, and the establishment of social networks. Understanding the patterns and drivers of these interactions can provide valuable ecological insights and inform management, husbandry, and conservation practices.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

Confirming the impact origin of the São Miguel do Tapuio structure, northeastern Brazil
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The São Miguel do Tapuio structure (SMT) is a remarkable, nearcircular feature of about 21 km diameter, centered at 5°37.6′ S, 41°23.3′ W in Piauí state, northeastern Brazil. The structure is located within the sedimentary strata of the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Parnaíba Basin and predominantly comprises sandstones of the Devonian Pimenteiras and ...

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.
