Abstract: Stress-induced inhibition of innate immune activity has been observed in a variety of wild birds and may increase chances of infection because this activity constitutes the first line of defense against pathogens. We previously reported… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Recent research often lauds the services and beneficial effects of host‐associated microbes on animals. However, hosting these microbes may come at a cost. For example, germ‐free and antibiotic‐treated birds generally grow faster than their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09544062221079509
Abstract: A biomimetic wing is designed by considering the wing of a natural flyer (Passer domesticus) as a reference. Since the birds have thin wings, Bergey BW-3, a thin and highly cambered airfoil, is used to… read more here.
