Morphology of the extraocular muscles (m. bulbi) in the pre-hatchling and post-hatchling african black ostriches (struthio camelus domesticus L., 1758) (Aves: Struthioniformes) [PDF]
Acta Biologica Hungarica, 2018 The aim of the study was to describe the morphology and the development of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) in the pre-hatchling and post-hatchling African black ostrich. The study involved 50 birds aged between 28 days and 3 years. The EOMs were analyzed morphologically with respect to the location and length of the straight and oblique muscles and the ...

Morphological study of the upper, lower and third eyelids in the African black ostrich (Struthio camelus camelusL., 1758) (Aves: Struthioniformes) during the embryonic and postnatal period [PDF]
Italian Journal of Zoology, 2016 AbstractThe upper, lower and third eyelids are accessory organs of the eye. The aim of this study was to describe the development of the upper, lower and third eyelids in ostriches in the embryonic and postnatal period and to characterise the conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue (CALT) in the eyelids.

Domestication and the comparative embryology of birds
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 338, Issue 8, Page 447-459, December 2022., 2022 The sequence of developmental events in the domestic chicken is highly congruent with that of the zebra finch. Abstract Studies of domesticated animals have greatly contributed to our understanding of avian embryology. Foundational questions in developmental biology were motivated by Aristotle's observations of chicken embryos. By the 19th century, the

Wildlife Pathogens and Zoonotic Disease Risk Assessment in Vietnam: A Wildlife Trade Hotspot [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Vietnam is a wildlife trade hotspot presenting multiple high‐risk interfaces for pathogen spillover from wildlife to humans. However, the zoonotic disease risk remains poorly characterized in the country and needs to be assessed to better inform policy dialog and legislative reforms.

The Importance of Olfaction for Mixed Paternity in Birds [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.Olfaction can help individuals finding genetically compatible mates in many animals, while high levels of mixed paternity may reflect a reduced ability to evaluate a mate's profile against their own before mating. We tested this hypothesis by matching estimates of olfactory ability with mixed paternity for a broad range of bird species.
