Cultivation of Eimeria Dispersa in Bobwhite Quail Embryos
… sporulated oocysts of Eimeria dispersa from the Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus), to study the endogenous development of E. dispersa in Bobwhite quail embryos, and to examine the cross-transmission properties of this species for turkeys, chickens, and Japanese quail. Procedure. Oocysts, …

Fate Of Captive-Reared Bobwhite Quail Released In Central Kentucky
<p>The fate of pen-raised bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) released onto two farms (Site 1 and 2) and a reclaimed coal surface mine (Site 3) in south-central Kentucky during the summers of 2008 and 2009 was assessed. Of the 57 bobwhite quail radio-tagged and released in this study, the fate of …

Modified postnatal social experience alters intersensory development of bobwhite quail chicks
… study utilized a precocial avian infant, the bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus), to explore 1) what types of postnatal social experience young chicks require to successfully pair sights and sounds and 2) when these experiences need to occur to maintain species-typical intersensory …

Auditory and visual determinants of maternal preference in bobwhite quail neonates
… the control of filial behavior was examined in bobwhite quail chicks during the first 4 days of postnatal life. Previous research has revealed that bobwhite quail hatchlings are differentially responsive to their species-specific maternal call in the period right before and immediately following …

Neural Plasticity and the Development of Intersensory Functioning in Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus)
… visual responsiveness to maternal cues in bobwhite quail chicks. Results revealed that the pattern of neuronal organization and postnatal behavior was influenced by the amount of prenatal visual experience subjects were provided. Specifically, chicks exposed to 240 min of prenatal visual …

Social context affects behavioral responsiveness to maternal alarm calls in Bobwhite quail chicks
… of maternally naive, incubator-reared bobwhite quail chicks. Experiment 1 assessed alarm call responsiveness in socially-reared, socially-tested hatchlings across the first 96 hours following hatch. No significant age effects were revealed. Hatchlings tested at 24 hours did not differ …

The role of stimulus matching in the development of intersensory perception in bobwhite quail
… cues in directing the perceptual preferences of bobwhite quail chicks. Results reveal that chicks prefer postnatal stimulus cues that matched the particular type of prenatal stimulation they received as embryos over stimulus cues that match the amount of prenatal stimulus cues they received. …

Effects of altered prenatal auditory experience on postnatal auditory preferences in bobwhite quail chicks
… present study analyzed the acoustic features of bobwhite quail embryonic vocalizations emitted during the final 36 hours prior to hatching. Using software for sound spectrographic analyses, information was collected on the average fundamental frequency, frequency modulation and range, repetition …

Effects of early and delayed visual experience on intersensory functioning in bobwhite quail chicks
… of avian embryos and hatchlings. Normally reared bobwhite quail chicks are known to require only maternal auditory cues to direct their social preferences in the first days following hatching. However, by 3 days following hatching quail chicks require both auditory and visual cues to direct their …

The effects of augmented prenatal visual stimulation on postnatal perceptual responsiveness in Bobwhite quail
The present study examined whether previously reported effects of altered prenatal sensory experience on the subsequent acceleration of intersensory functions are mediated by mechanisms sensitive to the overall amount of stimulation. Results reveal that chicks exposed to augmented amounts of …

Type and amount of prenatal auditory experience alters postnatal perceptual responsiveness in bobwhite quail
Bobwhite quail embryos were exposed to 5 or 10 min/hr of either bobwhite chick contentment calls or bobwhite chick distress calls. Results revealed that embryos exposed to 5 or 10 min/hr of distress calls continued to respond to maternal auditory cues into later stages of postnatal development in …

Ecology, population dynamics and management of the bobwhite quail, Colinus virginianus marilandicus (L.), in Massachusetts
… the ecology and dynamics of Massachusetts quail populations, and to interpret the findings in terms of practical management of the resource. Weight data collected during the course of the study support the thesis that the northeastern coastal quail population may be separated, …

Habitat relationships of bobwhite quail and cottontail rabbits on agricultural lands in Halifax County, Virginia
I examined the relationships of quail and rabbits to agricultural land uses in the Virginia Piedmont during 1986-1987. Bobwhites and cottontails were censused and the associated habitat components quantified at 2 scales: macro-scale at 121 road transect stations, and a micro-scale at 87-foot …

Effects of Prenatal Sensory-Evoked Arousal on Postnatal Behavior and Perceptual Responsiveness in Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus)
… perceptual learning and development in bobwhite quail. Exposure to moderate amounts of unimodal prenatal sensory stimulation has been shown to accelerate early intersensory responsiveness, while exposure to concurrent prenatal bimodal sensory stimulation has been shown to interfere with …

Selected aspects of population dynamics and food habits of bobwhite quail on the Salamonie Reservoir area, 1970-1975
Basic knowledge of the ecology of bobwhite quail, colinus virginianus (L.), on the Salamonie Reservoir Area, Huntington and Wabash Counties, Indiana, was gathered during 1970-1975. The bobwhite is a major gamebird species on the Salamonie Reservoir Area even though the resident populations of this …

Auditory-Visual System Interactions: Perinatal Visual Experience Affects Auditory Learning and Memory in Bobwhite Quail Chicks (Colinus virginianus)
… study examined how auditory learning capacity in bobwhite quail chicks is affected by the interrelationship between the developing auditory and visual systems in late prenatal/early postnatal development. Chicks were provided with auditory information during the period immediately prior to or the …
