BookDOI
Avian ecology and conservation in an urbanizing world
TL;DR: The field of birds in urban environments has been a hot topic in the last few decades as discussed by the authors, with a large body of work focusing on the effects of urbanization on birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of selenium toxicity in the aquatic food chain.
TL;DR: Concerns about selenium impacts on aquatic resources in Southeastern Idaho and British Columbia and the growing discomfort among the scientific community with a waterborne criterion has lead the US Environment Protection Agency to consider a tissue-based criterion for Selenium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carry‐over effects as drivers of fitness differences in animals
TL;DR: Carry-over effects are likely to be far more widespread than currently indicated, and they could feasibly be responsible for a large amount of the observed variation in performance among individuals, and warrant a wealth of new research designed specifically to decompose components of variation in fitness attributes related to processes across and within seasons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intramuscular fat content in meat-producing animals: development, genetic and nutritional control, and identification of putative markers.
Jean-François Hocquette,Florence Gondret,Elisabeth Baéza,Françoise Médale,Catherine Jurie,David W. Pethick +5 more
TL;DR: The knowledge on fat accumulation in muscles is now being underpinned by the exhaustive nature of genomics, and efforts have concentrated on discovering DNA markers that change the distribution of fat in the body at the expense of carcass fatness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors That Influence Assimilation Rates and Fractionation of Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotopes in Avian Blood and Feathers
TL;DR: Differences in diet‐tissue discrimination factors before and after the diet switch may mean that toward the end of the experiment, some of the nutrients for blood synthesis had been coming from stores, and repeated measures mixed models provided evidence that increases in metabolic rate might accelerate fractional turnover rates in blood.
