Poultry Science: In broiler chickens, fractures of wings and legs are recorded at poultry slaughterhouses based on the time of occurrence. Prekilling (PRE) fractures occur before the death of animal, so the chicken was still able to experience pain and distress ...

Phenotypic characterization of local female duck populations in Indonesia
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019 Information on phenotypic traits is a prerequisite in animal genetic resource conservation and improvement. Phenotypic characteristics of 180 Indonesian female ducks collected from six populations (Alabio, Bayang, Magelang, Pegagan, Pitalah, and Rambon ...

Propelling and perturbing appendages together facilitate strenuous ground self-righting
eLife, 2021 Terrestrial animals must self-right when overturned on the ground, but this locomotor task is strenuous. To do so, the discoid cockroach often pushes its wings against the ground to begin a somersault which rarely succeeds. As it repeatedly attempts this,

The essential requirement of an animal heme peroxidase protein during the wing maturation process in Drosophila [PDF]
BMC Developmental Biology, 2017 Thus far, a handful of genes have been shown to be related to the wing maturation process in insects. A novel heme peroxidase enzyme known as curly suppressor (Cysu)(formerly CG5873), have been characterized in this report because it is involved in wing morphogenesis.

Wing twist and folding work in synergy to propel flapping wing animals and robots
2024 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)We designed and built a three degrees-of-freedom (DOF) flapping wing robot, Flapperoo, to study the aerodynamic benefits of wing folding and twisting. Forces and moments of this physical model are measured in wind tunnel tests over a Strouhal number range of St = 0.2 - 0.4, typical for animal flight.

Angel wing: a class of alternative splicing regulators in animals
Nucleic Acids ResearchAbstract Alternative splicing (AS) regulates the diversity and level of the proteome. The specificity in AS is in turn regulated by RNA-binding proteins, but our understanding of how they act is far from complete. Here, we identify the Angel wing (Anw) protein, previously CG10948, as a novel AS regulator.
