- Abstract:
- ... Goose circovirus (GoCV) is a potential immunosuppressive virus that poses a great hazard to the goose industry and has been shown to be widely distributed throughout China. We have established a fast, sensitive and highly specific TaqMan real-time quantitative PCR detection method for this virus. Specific primers and probes were designed against the conserved regions of the genomic GoCV Rep gene. ...

- Abstract:
- ... Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are useful tools in ornithological studies. Importantly, though, UAV-caused disturbance has been noted to vary among species. This study evaluated guidelines for UAVs as a tool for researching geese. Twenty-four flocks of foraging geese were approached at an altitude of 50–100 m with a quadcopter UAV and disturbance effects were analysed across different horizontal ...

The CSTRs were run at three different organic loading rates: 1.4 g-VS/L.day, 2.9 g-VS/L.day and 4.4 g-VS/L.day, consequently termed as Phase-1, Phase-2 and Phase-3, respectively, and five different sonication pretreatments levels: (25 min, 45 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min ...

- Abstract:
- ... Peasants had an important role as poultry keepers in late medieval England. Literary sources and administrative documents show that many rural households provided themselves with at least a cock and between 5 and 7 hens. These birds contributed to the subsistence of the household mainly with eggs which supplemented the mainly cereal diet. Occasionally a fowl was eaten for a special meal. A minorit ...

Despite our knowledge of the biophysical and behavioural changes during flight ontogeny in juvenile birds, little is known about the changes in the mechanical aspects of energy expenditure during early flight development, particularly in migratory species. Here, we investigate in a unique experimental setup how energy expended during flights changes over time beginning with early ontogeny. We calc ...

Thus people are deprived of the opportunity to benefit from the huge diversity of eggs offered by nature. Poultry eggs can vary in their color of albumen and yolk, smell, taste and texture. In this study, sighted and blind people were employed for sensory evaluation with the aim of determin ...

- Abstract:

Development of integrated population models (IPMs) assume the absence of systematic bias in monitoring programs, yet many potential sources of systematic bias in monitoring data exist (e.g., under-counts of abundance). By integrating multiple sources of data, we can assess whether various sources of monitoring data provide consistent inferences about changes in population size and, thus, whether m ...

We studied recreational goose hunters in Denmark to assess their behavioural and motivational characteristics, willingness to alter their hunting effort, as well as their ability to act as stewards of a rapidly increasing goose population. We ...

Two pairs of primers were designed to bind conserved genomic regions of goose parvovirus (GPV) and goose astrovirus (GAstV) to establish a simple, sensitive, and highly specific duplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) method to simultaneously detect the two viruses. The duplex qPCR can distinguish GPV (melting point: 82.1 °C) and GAstV (melting point: 79.8 °C) by the peaks of their individual melting curve ...

- Abstract:
- ... Social relationships can have important fitness consequences. Although there is increasing evidence that social relationships carry over across contexts, few studies have investigated whether relationships formed early in life are carried over to adulthood. For example, juveniles of monogamous species go through a major life history stage transition, pair formation, during which the pair bond beco ...

We sought to determine whether herbivorous bird species of the high Andes, including the white‐bellied seedsnipe (Attagis malouinus) and Chloephaga geese (C. picta and C. poliocephala), consume bryophytes, and if so, how frequently. We collected 26 seedsnipe and 22 goose droppings from alpine and sub‐al ...

Large, avian migrants that fly in V‐formations were proposed do so for energy saving by the use of up‐wash by following individuals and regularly change leadership. As groups have been rather homogeneous in previous work, we aimed to explore leadership and its flight mechanics consequences in an extremely heterogeneous case of social migration, ...
