Download and read online ebook Celebrating 5 Years of Avian Physiology in Frontiers in Physiology write by Colin G. Scanes. This book was released on 2022-09-27. Celebrating 5 Years of Avian Physiology in Frontiers in Physiology available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The avian physiology section is now five years old. This special e-book is to commemorate this event. For this highlights issue celebrating the first five years of the Avian Physiology section, it was decided to focus on the top papers/reviews published. Table 1 lists the top fifteen papers/reviews based on either views or down-loads as a pdf. There is some agreement between the two lists. What is compelling is that of the top papers, all except one encompasses research conducted in domesticated birds, predominantly with chickens with one focused on turkeys. It is perhaps not unexpected that research on chickens dominates the top papers because of the following: - Chickens are commercially important being the number one meat animal globally. - Chickens are used as the model species for birds. Other possibilities that could be the case include the following: - There are more researchers working on chickens compared to other commercial or wild species. - There are other avenues to publish wild bird research. - Lack of funding for open access article processing charges. The exceptions to the chicken papers/reviews is a paper on a passerine bird, the migratory blackheaded bunting (Emberiza melanocephala) (Singh et al., 2018) and a review paper focused on turkey satellite cell proliferation and differentiation (Velleman and Song, 2017). Of the top papers/reviews, six were related to muscle physiology (Bottje et al., 2017; Greene et al., 2019; Lassiter et al., 2019; Lin et al., 2017; Piekarski et al., 2020; Velleman and Song, 2017). These papers address different aspects of the physiology of muscle functioning and development in chickens or turkeys, specifically the following: - Small RNAs from the transcribed from mitochondrial genome in muscle (Bottje et al., 2017) - Leptin induced autophagy of muscle cells (Piekarski et al., 2020) - Proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts: influence of syndecan-4 and glypican-1 (Velleman and Song, 2017) - Myostatin signaling and muscle growth (Lassiter et al., 2019) The role of growth factors and signal transduction pathways in myoblast proliferation (Lin et al., 2017) - Muscle pathology, specifically, woody breast myopathy (Greene et al., 2019) There are also among the top papers/reviews on multiple diverse other organs and systems namely the following: adipose tissue (Abdalla et al., 2018), bone (Adhikari et al., 2019), feathering (Chen et al., 2019), gastro-intestinal functioning/microbiome (Li et al., 2018; Kraimi et al., 2018; Rodrigues et al., 2020), immune functioning (Bi et al., 2018; Wei et al., 2018), kidneys (Li et al., 2018), liver (Flees et al., 2017; Singh et al., 2018), endogenous opioids (Scanes and Pierzchala-Koziec, 2018), photoperiodism (Hanlon et al., 2020), pituitary gland (Zhang et al., 2021) and reproduction (Eusemann et al., 2018; Li et al., 2018). The geographical distribution of the top papers is interesting as summarized in Table 2. The United States of America and the People’s Republic of China were the country of origin of most of the papers. In addition, there were papers/reviews from Europe (France, Germany and a collaborative paper between researchers in the USA and Poland) and India. Of the top papers/reviews from the USA, six come from a single department, namely, the Department of Poultry Science/Center of Excellence for Poultry Science, University of Arkansas (Bottje et al., 2017; Flees et al., 2017; Green et al., 2019; Lassiter et al., 2019; Piekarski et al., 2020; Rodrigues

Download and read online ebook Celebrating Twenty Years of the Brazilian Symposium on Cardiovascular Physiology write by Camille M. Balarini. This book was released on 2017-06-09. Celebrating Twenty Years of the Brazilian Symposium on Cardiovascular Physiology available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This e-book is dedicated to the celebration of 20 years of the Brazilian Symposium on Cardiovascular Physiology. In 1996 groups from the School of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo (FMRP-USP) and from the Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) joined together to discuss cardiovascular physiology. In subsequent editions of the meeting, the participation of other groups from all over the country has grown and acquired the status of a national symposium. The participants now agree that the symposium should be itinerant and that the chair group is responsible for its organization. In 2016, we proudly reached the 20th edition of the Brazilian Symposium on Cardiovascular Physiology. It is certainly a memorable date and a great opportunity to share the accomplishments of Brazilian groups in the field of cardiovascular physiology.

This book was released on 2013-01-17. Bird Sense available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. What is it like to be a swift, flying at over one hundred kilometres an hour? Or a kiwi, plodding flightlessly among the humid undergrowth in the pitch dark of a New Zealand night? And what is going on inside the head of a nightingale as it sings, and how does its brain improvise?Bird Sense addresses questions like these and many more, by describing the senses of birds that enable them to interpret their environment and to interact with each other. Our affinity for birds is often said to be the result of shared senses - vision and hearing - but how exactly do their senses compare with our own? And what about a birds' sense of taste, or smell, or touch or the ability to detect the earth's magnetic field? Or the extraordinary ability of desert birds to detect rain hundreds of kilometres away - how do they do it?Bird Sense is based on a conviction that we have consistently underestimated what goes on in a bird's head. Our understanding of bird behaviour is simultaneously informed and constrained by the way we watch and study them. By drawing attention to the way these frameworks both facilitate and inhibit discovery, it identifies ways we can escape from them to seek new horizons in bird behaviour.There has never been a popular book about the senses of birds. No one has previously looked at how birds interpret the world or the way the behaviour of birds is shaped by their senses. A lifetime spent studying birds has provided Tim Birkhead with a wealth of observation and an understanding of birds and their behaviour that is firmly grounded in science.
