Galliform Baraminology 4 Abstract This study investigates the number of galliform bird holobaramins. Criteria used to determine the members of any given holobaramin included a biblical word analysis, statistical baraminology, and hybridization. The biblical search yielded limited biosystematic information; however, since it is a necessary and useful part of baraminology research it is both included and discussed.

  • Accurate Characterization of the IFITM Locus Using Miseq and Pacbio Sequencing Shows Genetic Variation in Galliformes
    Bassano et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:419 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-3801-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Accurate characterization of the IFITM locus using MiSeq and PacBio sequencing shows genetic variation in Galliformes Irene Bassano1,2, Swee Hoe Ong1, Nathan Lawless3, Thomas Whitehead3, Mark Fife3 and Paul Kellam1,2* Abstract Background: Interferon inducible transmembrane (IFITM) proteins are effectors of the immune system widely characterized for their role in restricting infection by diverse enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. The chicken IFITM (chIFITM)genesareclusteredonchromosome5andtodate four genes have been annotated, namely chIFITM1, chIFITM3, chIFITM5 and chIFITM10. However, due to poor assembly of this locus in the Gallus Gallus v4 genome, accurate characterization has so far proven problematic. Recently, a new chicken reference genome assembly Gallus Gallus v5 was generated using Sanger, 454, Illumina and PacBio sequencing technologies identifying considerable differences in the chIFITM locus over the previous genome releases. Methods: We re-sequenced the locus using both Illumina MiSeq and PacBio RS II sequencing technologies and we mapped RNA-seq data from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) to this finalized chIFITM locus. Using SureSelect probes capture probes designed to the finalized chIFITM locus, we sequenced the locus of a different chicken breed, namely a White Leghorn, and a turkey. Results: We confirmed the Gallus Gallus v5 consensus except for two insertions of 5 and 1 base pair within the chIFITM3 and B4GALNT4 genes, respectively, and a single base pair deletion within the B4GALNT4 gene. The pull down revealed a singleaminoacidsubstitutionofA63VintheCILdomainofIFITM2comparedtoRedJunglefowland13,13and11 differences between IFITM1, 2 and 3 of chickens and turkeys, respectively.

  • Winter Food of Oklahoma Quail* by Lois Gould Bird and R
    Winter Food of Oklahoma Quail 293 WINTER FOOD OF OKLAHOMA QUAIL* BY LOIS GOULD BIRD AND R. D. BIRD This study is based upon an examination of the crops of 138 quail taken in nineteen counties of Oklahoma. Of these, 135 were taken in December, 1929, during the latter part of the quail season and were sent to us by the state game rangers in response to a request made to Mr. Marsh B. Woodruff, then Assistant Game Warden. Three crops were taken in November by R. D. Bird. With the exception of four crops from Arizona Scaled Quail (Callipepla squamata pallida) from Cimmarron County, they were all from Bob-white (Colinus virginianus virginianus). The study of the winter food of birds is important because winter is the critical time of food gathering. It is then that food is scarcest. Food taken from bird crops is easily studied, for the contents have not been subjected to the process of digestion and are not affected by chemical action. The crop is a membranous, sac-like region of the oesophagus, easily distensible, which is used for the reception of food. Its capacity is from four to six times that of the gizzard. (2, p. 28). Seeds and insects in the crop, although in some cases broken and dirty, are in practically the same condition as when lying on the ground. PREVIOUS WORK Dr. Sylvester D. Judd, of the United States Biological Survey, who has made extensive studies of the food of the Bob-white, states: “The Bob-white is probably the most useful abundant species on the farm.

  • Northern Bobwhite Colinus Virginianus Photo by SC DNR
    Supplemental Volume: Species of Conservation Concern SC SWAP 2015 Northern Bobwhite Colinus virginianus Photo by SC DNR Contributor (2005): Billy Dukes (SCDNR) Reviewed and Edited (2012): Billy Dukes (SCDNR) DESCRIPTION Taxonomy and Basic Description In 1748, Catesby gave the Bobwhite quail the name Perdix sylvestris virginiana. In 1758, Linnaeus dropped the generic name Perdix and substituted Tetrao. The generic name Colinus was first used by Goldfuss in 1820 and, despite several ensuing name changes, became the accepted nomenclature (Rosene 1984). Bobwhite quail are members of the family Odontophoridae, the New World quail. Bobwhite quail are predominantly reddish-brown, with lesser amounts of white, brown, gray and black throughout. Both sexes have a dark stripe that originates at the beak and runs through the eye to the base of the skull. In males, the stripe above and below the eye is white, as is the throat patch. In females, this stripe and throat patch are light brown or tan. Typical weights for Bobwhites in South Carolina range from 160 to 180 g (5.6 to 6.3 oz.). Overall length throughout the range of the species is between 240 and 275 mm (9.5 and 10.8 in.) (Rosene 1984). Status Bobwhite quail are still widely distributed throughout their historic range. However, North American Breeding Bird Survey data indicate a significant range-wide decline of 3.8% annually between the years 1966 and 2009 (Sauer et al. 2004). In South Carolina, quail populations have declined at a rate of 6.1% annually since 1966 (Sauer et al. 2011). While not on the Partners in Flight Watch List, the concern for Northern Bobwhite is specifically mentioned Figure 1: Average summer distribution of northern bobwhite quail due to significant population declines 1994-2003.
