Neural Plasticity and the Development of Intersensory Functioning in Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus)
Previous research has demonstrated that augmented prenatal sensory stimulation can influence the emergence of normal or species-typical patterns of intersensory perception. For example, unusually early visual experience can produce a facilitative effect on subsequent postnatal perceptual …

Ecology, population dynamics and management of the bobwhite quail, Colinus virginianus marilandicus (L.), in Massachusetts
This investigation was conducted to determine 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 …

Effects of Prenatal Sensory-Evoked Arousal on Postnatal Behavior and Perceptual Responsiveness in Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus)
Prenatal sensory stimulation can have facilitative or interfering effects upon subsequent 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 …

Influence of Vegetation Structure on Density of Northern Bobwhites (Colinus Virginianus) on a Tallgrass Prairie in Southwestern Missouri
Northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus), populations have declined noticeably since the 1960s. The role of annual habitat variability on quail density in a tallgrass prairie setting is poorly understood. To provide insight into the efficacy of tallgrass prairie management in southwestern …

Auditory-Visual System Interactions: Perinatal Visual Experience Affects Auditory Learning and Memory in Bobwhite Quail Chicks (Colinus virginianus)
Early perceptual learning capacity has been shown to correspond with the relative status of emergent sensory systems throughout prenatal and postnatal development. It has also been shown that young infants can learn perceptual information during perinatal development. However, the exact nature of …

The role of invertebrates in the diet, growth and survival of Northern bobwhite, Colinus virginianus, chicks in the Southeastern United States
… component in the diet of northern bobwhite, Colinus virginiamus, chicks during the first two weeks of life. Despite this, few studies have described the composition of invertebrates in the diet of wild chicks and none have examined their effects on chick-growth and survival. Here, a …

Immunomodulation by dietary lipids: soybean oil, menhaden fish oil, chicken fat, and hydrogenated soybean oil in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) and Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus)
Soybean oil (SBO), menhaden fish oil (FO), chicken fat (CF) or hydrogenated soybean oil (HSBO) were incorporated at 5% of the total diet to study changes in the immunological status of both Japanese quail (JAP) and Bobwhite quail (BOB). The SBO diet, in which 66% of the total fatty acids were …

An epigenetic theory of hemispheric specialization: the role of prenatal sensori-motor experience in the development of turning bias and spatial orientation in bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus)
This study examined the effects of prenatal sensory and motor experience on the development of spatial orientation and turning bias in bobwhite quail. The theory presented here describes hemispheric specialization as the result of probabilistic events in the developing organism's prenatal …

Modeling Detection and Density Using Distance Sampling for Three Priority Grassland Bird Species in Texas - Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna), and Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris)
… These species are the Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna), and Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris). Due to this, accurate density and abundance estimates are critical for management of these species. This 5-year study identified covariates that …

Modified postnatal social experience alters intersensory development of bobwhite quail chicks
… 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 development. Specifically, …

Effects of lead ingestion on the immune function in quail
… (Cotumix coturllix) and northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus), were investigated. In preliminary experiments, intubation with lead shot produced inconsistent doses within treatment groups. Both quail species exhibited poor antibody responses after immunization with sheep erythrocytes. In a …

Effectiveness of Surrogators As A Propagation Tool for Northern Bobwhites In South-Central Texas

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 …
