Body Temperatures in California and Gambel's Quail
Tm• paucity of data on the body temperatures of small gallinaceous birds prompts us to report miscellaneous observations which we have made over the past several years on the body temperatures of the California Quail, Lophortyx californicus, a common resident in grassland and chaparral from southern Oregon to southern Baja Cal/fornia, and the Gambel's Quail, L. œambelii, a resident in the deser...
متن کاملWilliams: Breeding Biology of California Quail the Breeding Biology of California Quail in New Zealand
The breeding biology of Lophortyx californicus in North America has been described by Sumner (1935), Olading (1938), Howard and Emlen (1942), Oenelly (1955), Raitt (1960) and Lewin (1963); in the Hawaiian Islands by Schwartz and Schwartz (1949) and in New Zealand by Williams (1952,1959). Much more local information has now been gathered and this paper is concerned mainly with annual and local v...
متن کاملEffects of early embryonic exposure to genistein on male copulatory behavior and vasotocin system of Japanese quail.
Genistein is a phytoestrogen, particularly abundant in soybeans that can bind estrogen receptors and sex hormone binding proteins, exerting both estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity. In this study we used the Japanese quail embryo as a test end-point to investigate the effects of early embryonic exposure to genistein on male copulatory behavior and on vasotocin parvocellular system. Both diff...
متن کاملBehavior Genetic Analyses in Chickens and Quail
Behavior-genetic analysis requries an interfacing of genetics and behavior. This may be accomplished by studying the genetic architecture of specific behaviors and by examining how behaviors influence selection and thereby modify the gene pools of subsequent generations. The behaviors emphasized in our research include those associated with reproduction, feeding and social strife. This morning'...
متن کاملCopulatory and agonistic behavior in Syrian hamsters following social defeat.
Syrian hamsters are highly aggressive animals that reliably defend their home territory. After social defeat, however, hamsters no longer defend their home cage but instead display submissive and defensive behavior toward an intruder, a response that we have termed conditioned defeat. Plasma testosterone is significantly reduced in Syrian hamsters following repeated defeat suggesting that socia...
