Integrated Information on the Structure and Composition of the Ostrich Eggshell (Struthio camelus)

چکیده

Ostrich eggshells are excellent examples of avian biomineralization. Interest in these is focused on their potential as a food source, example biomaterial for medical and industrial applications, the use fossil remains paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Due to this interest, there some information about aspects eggshell biomineralization, but it scattered different publications limited scope mineralogy-crystallography and/or composition. Here, we re-examine biomineralization Struthio focusing structure, from macro- nano-scales, crystallography, composition mineral organic phases. Our results show that very tight control, well-defined structures at nanoscale precise crystallographic orientation calcite crystals, formation biomineral unparalleled other eggshells. Overall, finding would explain thickness mechanical properties ostrich

Phylogeographic Patterns in Mitochondrial Dna of the Ostrich (struthio Camelus)

--We assayed restriction-site differences in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) within and among populations of the Ostrich (Struthio camelus) throughout much of its African distribution. Little genetic diversity was evident among samples drawn from localities throughout southern Africa (S.c. australis), while deep divisions in the mtDNA gene tree exist between representatives of the eastern (S.c. molyb...

Three-dimensional anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) knee joint

The three-dimensional anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) knee (femorotibial, femorofibular, and femoropatellar) joint has scarcely been studied, and could elucidate certain mechanobiological properties of sesamoid bones. The adult ostrich is unique in that it has double patellae, while another similar ratite bird, the emu, has none. Understanding why these patellae form and what purpose ...

Anatomical study of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) foot locomotor system

The Ostrich is a native bird of Africa, and is highly accomplished in terrestrial locomotion in desert and grassland environments. The foot is an important segment in the ostrich body, critical for damping vibration, absorbing energy, and maintaining balance; however, detailed information on the ostrich foot is sparse. In this study, the gross anatomy of locomotor system of the ostrich foot was...
