Behavioural assessment of flicker fusion frequency in chicken Gallus gallus domesticus
To interact with its visual environment, an organism needs to perceive objects in both space and time. High temporal resolution is hence important to the fitness of diurnally active animals, not least highly active aerial species such as birds. However, temporal resolution, as assessed by flicker fusion frequency (FFF; the stimulus frequency at which a flickering light stimulus can no longer be...
متن کاملUsing electroretinograms to assess flicker fusion frequency in domestic hens Gallus gallus domesticus
The assessment of flicker fusion frequency (FFF), the stimulus frequency at which a flickering light stimulus can no longer be resolved and appears continuous, and critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF; the highest frequency at any light intensity that an observer can resolve flicker) are useful methods for comparing temporal resolution capabilities between animals. Behavioural experiments hav...
متن کاملOptics of cone photoreceptors in the chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)
Vision is the primary sensory modality of birds, and its importance is evident in the sophistication of their visual systems. Coloured oil droplets in the cone photoreceptors represent an adaptation in the avian retina, acting as long-pass colour filters. However, we currently lack understanding of how the optical properties and morphology of component structures (e.g. oil droplet, mitochondria...
متن کاملVocalization Characters and Forkhead Box P2 (FoxP2) Polymorphism in Indonesian Crowing-Type Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)
Crowing-type chicken is one of the important chicken breeds in Indonesia. This study was conducted to investigate the crowing characters of Pelung chicken and the effect of exon 7 FoxP2 gene polymorphism in mute chicken. Chicken were obtained from local breeder. Pelung chicken crowing and morphology characterizations were conducted in Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. Chicken breeding (♀ ...
متن کاملLampbrush chromosomes of the chicken, Gallus domesticus
We examined lampbrush chromosomes (LBC) prepared from chicken oocytes of 1-3-mm diam using both light and electron microscopy. Both macro- and microchromosomes form LBC with morphologies very similar to the well known newt and salamander LBC. In chicken LBC typical loops have a contour length of approximately 15 microns, although some loops range up to 50 microns. Multiple transcription units a...
