Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences, 2021 There is limited information regarding chicken's inter and intra-breed resistance to the fowlpox virus (FWPV). Incidentally, it was observed during a natural fowlpox outbreak in a flock of inbred Isa White chickens having different plumage colors that ...

Chimeric plumage coloration produced by ovarian transplantation in chickens
Poultry Science, 2013 Ovaries from Rhode Island Red donors were transplanted orthotopically into White Leghorn recipients. At maturation, recipients were mated with Rhode Island Red roosters to test the origin of their ovaries, using plumage coloration as a marker. A chick with chimeric plumage coloration was produced, indicating mechanisms that produce follicles with both ...

Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

Protein hydrolysates in cell culture: Toward multi‐omics characterization
Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.While protein hydrolysates are widely used in cell culture applications, they remain undefined and variable products. Multi‐omic characterization evaluating composition and function can transition hydrolysates toward semi‐defined media components.

Bird color and taxonomic diversity are negatively related to human disturbance in urban parks [PDF]
Web EcologyRecently, studies have shown that highly urbanized areas are numerically dominated by birds with grey plumage, probably favoring camouflage with impervious grey surfaces.
