Seasonal changes in plasma levels of sex hormones in the greater Rhea (Rhea americana), a South American Ratite with a complex mating system. [PDF]
Seasonal rhythm in sex hormones has been extensively studied in birds, as well as its relationship with the type of mating system. The Greater Rhea (Rhea americana), a South American ratite species, reproduces seasonally and has a complex mating system ...

Ancient DNA Reveals Late Pleistocene Existence of Ostriches in Indian Sub-Continent.
Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis of extinct ratite species is of considerable interest as it provides important insights into their origin, evolution, paleogeographical distribution and vicariant speciation in congruence with continental drift theory. In this

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a sodium alginate (SA) coating incorporating Eryngium campestre (zulang) essential oil (EO) nanoemulsion (EON) regarding the preservation characteristics of ostrich meat under cold storage condition. The primary constituents of the EO were germacrene D, α‐bisabolol, campestrolide, and salvial‐4(14)‐en‐

The island syndrome in plants on New Zealand's outlying islands: a review
ABSTRACT The island syndrome is defined as a suite of predictable and consistent differences between island and mainland organisms. In seed plants, much of what we know about the island syndrome comes from work in the Southwest Pacific, which is comprised of the three main islands of New Zealand and ten surrounding archipelagos.
