Changes in protein level for bobwhite quail

Intersensory redundancy educates selective attention in bobwhite quail embryos.

We assessed whether exposure to amodal properties in bimodal stimulation (e.g. rhythm, rate, duration) could educate attention to amodal properties in subsequent unimodal stimulation during prenatal development. Bobwhite quail embryos were exposed to an individual bobwhite maternal call under several experimental and control conditions during the day prior to hatching. Experimental groups recei...

Recognition Characteristics in Covey Dialects of Bobwhite Quail

-Fifty Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) were randomly divided into two equal-size coveys at six weeks of age. At 12 weeks the separation (“hoypoo”) call was recorded from birds in both coveys. Duration and frequency characters were measured and subjected to discriminant analysis. This analysis indicated that each covey could be segregated mainly on the difference in duration between the “ho...

Intersensory Redundancy Enhances Memory in Bobwhite Quail Embryos

Information presented concurrently and redundantly to 2 or more senses (intersensory redunddncy) has been shown to recruit attention and promote perceptual learning of amodal stimulus properties in animal embryos and human infants. This study examined whether the facilitative effect of intersensory redundancy also extends to the domain of memory. We assessed bobwhite quail chicks’ ability to re...

Impacts of predation on northern bobwhite and scaled quail

Antibiotic treatment of ulcerative enteritis of bobwhite quail.

Penicillin-streptomycin, bacitracin methylene disalicylate, zinc bacitracinm, soluble bacitracin methylene disalicylate, streptomycin (25%) and spectinomycin were used as prophylactic and therapeutic treatments for ulcerative enteritis in bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus). Penicillin-streptomycin was the most effective prophylactic and streptomycin (25%) was the most effective therapeutic ag...
