Maternal effects and beta-carotene assimilation in Canary chicks.

10 Nov 2008 Carotenoids are pigments responsible for the red, orange and yellow coloration of plants and animals. They may be beneficial in two ways; they have a powerful antioxidant activity, and they can behave as an immunostimulant. Animals however cannot ... Read more...

Yolk testosterone, postnatal growth and song in male canaries.

8 Mar 2008 Avian eggs contain substantial amounts of maternal yolk androgens, which have been shown to modulate offspring phenotype. The first studies on the functional consequences of maternal yolk androgens have focused on early life stages and their role in ... Read more...

Song and brain development in canaries raised under different conditions of acoustic and social isolation over two years.

13 Sep 2007 Early isolation experiments indicate that male songbirds learn their songs during an early sensitive period, although later work has shown that some open-ended learners modify songs in later years. Recent isolation experiments suggest that in some ... Read more...
