Construction and differential analysis of testicular atlas between 10-week-old and 23-week-old ducks using single-cell RNA sequencing

Poultry Science
While spermatogenesis has been extensively characterized in mammals, its molecular underpinnings in avian species remain largely unexplored. To address this knowledge gap, we performed single-cell transcriptomic profiling of duck testes across ...

Mechanism of Alfalfa in Enhancing Goose Egg Yolk Flavor: An Analysis Based on Metabolomics and Quantitative Lipidomics

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organic egg production requires daily provision of coarse feed, fresh or dried forage, and silage to poultry. This study employed flavoromics, metabolomics, and quantitative lipidomics to investigate the effects of replacing 0% (CK), 10% (T10), and 20% (T20) of the basal diet of laying geese with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) on the sensory ...

Dietary Zinc Altered the Growth, Serum Biochemical Parameters and Immunity of Juvenile Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis)

Aquaculture Nutrition
Zinc (Zn) is a kind of critical mineral element for aquaculture and play an important role in growth performance and immunity. Hence this study was aimed to assess alterations in specific growth rate (SGR), feed utilization, activities of digestive ...

When species are lost but functions persist: a trait‐based perspective on Wadden Sea bird diversity dynamics

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity faces several global threats and communities are likely to show complex delayed responses. Accurately measuring these lags is critical to properly understand diversity dynamics. Here, we investigated these delays with minimal data availability and found critical mismatches between the temporal dynamics of taxonomic and functional diversity

Avoiding the ‘One‐Size‐Fits‐All’ Trap in Policy‐Based Monitoring

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy‐based monitoring programmes often fail to yield the information required to assess and improve policies and plans. A dominant cause of this problem is the ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ (OSFA) trap—a failure to recognise that several, complementary types of monitoring are required to support effective policy.

Evolution of H5N1 Cross-Species Transmission: Adaptive Mutations Driving Avian-to-Human Infection. [PDF]

Adv Genet (Hoboken)
This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underpinning H5N1's host adaptation, focusing on key mutations in viral proteins. Critical mutations are discussed in detail, highlighting their roles in altering receptor specificity, promoting antiviral resistance, and expanding viral tropism. The review underscores the urgent need

Extended Strahler Ordering to Distinguish Mapped River Channels From Overland Flow Pathways and Consistently Compare Digital Networks

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

Polysaccharides of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz alleviate bursa of Fabricius involution in Magang geese by inhibiting the Wnt signaling pathway

Poultry Science
Involution of the bursa of Fabricius (BF) with increasing age in avian species leads to decreases in lymphocyte counts and pathogen recognition, thereby compromising immune function and increasing susceptibility to infections.

Applying computer vision to accelerate monitoring and analysis of bird incubation behaviors: a case study using common eider nest camera footage

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Visualization of the pipeline is divided into two primary segments: automated (i.e., the user adapts the code directly to build a custom computer vision model) and human‐in‐the‐loop (i.e., the user manually evaluates the output of the model). In step 1, raw imagery data are selected for training and testing datasets; ideally, these datasets are ...
