The Effects of Human Presence, Restraint, and Stressed Neighbors on Corticosterone Levels in Domesticated Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus)

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 37-45, January/February 2026.
Female budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) did not significantly elevate their plasma corticosterone levels in response to human presence at the beginning of the experiment. However, plasma corticosterone was significantly elevated by restraint stress, the return of a neighbor that received restraint stress, and human presence at the end of the ...

Distinct 5′ UTR Requirements for Translation of the Bicistronic X/P mRNA Among Avian Orthobornaviruses

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 80-90, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Orthobornaviruses express X and the phosphoprotein (P) from a bicistronic X/P mRNA, and these proteins regulate polymerase activity. In mammalian orthobornaviruses, the 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) of the X/P mRNA controls the translational balance between X and P and thereby promotes efficient replication.
