1. A two-host shared-macroparasite model was parameterized from the results of infection and transmission experiments, to investigate whether apparent competition between the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) and the grey partridge (Perdix perdix), mediated via the shared nematode Heterakis gallinarum, could theoretically cause partridge exclusion. 2. Both the model created and the exp...

This study compared the cholesterol levels and shell pigments (protoporphyrin biliverdin) of chicken (conventional organic), quail, pheasant, goose eggs. The material for was (organic system - Lohmann Brown conventional HyLine Brown) eggs, quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica), (local), pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) eggs homogeneously selected with a subjective scoring. High-performance liquid ch...

Defining the adsorption behavior of common pheasant Phasianus Colchicus (PC) eggshells for some metal ions (Pb, Cu, Al, and Ag) is subject this study. In addition to that, these metals have also been chosen in many studies prevent environmental pollution. study, Al eggshell was investigated by spectroscopic methods. The process has taken place an aqueous solution. Differences inner, outer membr...

Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are an important cause of diarrhoeal illness in humans, as well as in mammalian and avian animal species. Previous sequence analyses indicated that avian RVAs are related only distantly to mammalian RVAs. Here, the complete genomes of RVA strain 03V0002E10 from turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) and RVA strain 10V0112H5 from pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) were analysed usin...

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has provided critical wildlife habitat for many species since 1985. However, the quality of this habitat for early successional species, such as ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), may decrease with field age. Late successional grasslands may lack valuable vegetative and structural diversity needed by pheasants, especially during nesting and brood-...

Ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) movements were studied in south-central Hamilton County, Iowa, during the fall and winter of 1966-67. Fall-to-winter movements of 23 pheasants averaged 0.66 mile. The greatest movement recorded was 2.45 miles. There was no evidence of oriented movement either in direction or to specific wintering areas. The mean winter movement of 43 pheasants was 0.20...
