Physiological responses of Houbara bustards to high ambient temperatures.
Desert birds often experience a scarcity of drinking water and food and must survive episodes of high ambient temperature (T(a)). The physiological mechanisms that promote survival during extended periods of high T(a) have received little attention. We investigated the physiological responses of wild-caught and captive-reared Houbara bustards, Chlamydotis macqueenii, to T(a) values ranging from...
متن کاملInfluence of high ambient temperatures on the physiological responses and body sway in healthy young adults after quickly standing.
This study was aimed to compare the variations in cerebral oxygenation, blood pressure and center-of-foot pressure after standing from sitting and supine positions at normal (22 degrees C) and high (32 degrees C) room temperatures. Thirty young adults stood up from a resting posture (sitting or supine position) and kept the static standing posture for 90 sec. Meanwhile, their center-of-foot pre...
متن کاملAvian paramyxovirus type 1 infection in houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata macqueenii): clinical and pathologic findings.
Clinical and pathologic findings of avian paramyxovirus type 1 (PMV-1) in 19 houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata macqueenii) imported from Pakistan into the United Arab Emirates and one captive-bred bird are reported. Clinical signs included circling, walking backward, ataxia, opisthotonos, torticollis, recumbency, head tilt, head shaking, head tremor, tucking of head under keel, nasal disch...
متن کاملSilicon Bulk Mobility at High Ambient Temperatures
One of the goals of the PARASITICS project was the evaluation of decisive physical models in the high temperature range (300 K – 700 K) by comparison between simulation and electrical measurements of suitable test structures. Various van der Pauw devices were examined to test the microscopic-based mobility model of Schenk [1]. In order to make the comparison complete, calculated Hall factors as...
متن کاملMigratory Pathways and Connectivity in Asian Houbara Bustards: Evidence from 15 Years of Satellite Tracking
Information on migratory pathways and connectivity is essential to understanding population dynamics and structure of migrant species. Our manuscript uses a unique dataset, the fruit of 103 individual Asian houbara bustards captured on their breeding grounds in Central Asia over 15 years and equipped with satellite transmitters, to provide a better understanding of migratory pathways and connec...
