متن کاملDivergent selection on feather pecking behaviour in laying hens (Gallus gallus domesticus).
A selection experiment was initiated in 1996 in which selection for (HP line) and against (LP line) feather pecking was performed. The foundation stock was a White Leghorn layer strain established in 1970 and maintained since then as a random bred control line at the Institute. Six hatches were produced over three generations. At the age of 68 weeks (generation 0, 1996), 35 weeks (generation 1,...

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 کاملStability of partner choice among female baboons.
In a wide range of taxa, including baboons, close social bonds seem to help animals cope with stress and enhance long-term reproductive success and longevity. Current evidence suggests that female baboons may benefit from establishing and maintaining highly individuated relationships with a relatively small number of partners. Here, we extend previous work on the stability of female baboons' so...
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...
