Plasma-corticosterone radioimmunoassay and levels in the neonate chick by Abdullah, Ramli, Gildersleeve, R.P., Satterlee, D.G.

“…Lowest plasma corticosterone concentrations occurred from 10 to 14 hr (approximately 6 ng/ml) after receipt of the chicks.…”

Spectacular batesian mimicry in ants by Hashim, Rosli, Ito, F., Billen, J., Huei, Y.S., Kaufmann, E., Akino, T.

“…After tasting C. inflata, the chicks no longer attacked Camponotus sp., indicating that Camponotus sp. is a Batesian mimic of Crematogaster inflata.…”

Bacterial community composition in Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) and Chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarctica) Penguin stomach contents from Signy Island, South Orkney Islands by Yew, W.C., Pearce, D.A., Dunn, M.J., Samah, A.A., Convey, P.

“…Penguin stomach microbiota and its variability are important as these microbes may contribute to the fitness of the host birds and their chicks, and influence the microbial ecosystem of the surrounding soils. …”

In-vitro neurotoxicity of two Malaysian krait species (Bungarus candidus and Bungarus fasciatus) venoms: Neutralization by monovalent and polyvalent antivenoms from Thailand by Rusmili, M.R.A., Yee, T.T., Mustafa, Mohd Rais, Othman, I., Hodgson, W.C.

“…Both venoms caused concentration-dependent inhibition of indirect twitches, and attenuated responses to exogenous nicotinic receptor agonists, in the chick biventer preparation, with B. candidus venom being more potent than B. fasciatus venom. …”

Mixed-ligand copper(II) complex of quercetin regulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis by Vimalraj, Selvaraj, Rajalakshmi, Subramaniyam, Raj Preeth, Desingh, Vinoth Kumar, Sivasubramanian, Deepak, Thirumalai, Gopinath, Venkatraman, Murugan, Kadarkarai, Chatterjee, Suvro

“…Furthermore, the effect of these complexes on osteoblast differentiation was confirmed by the expression of osteoblast specific microRNA, pre-mir-15b. The chick embryo angiogenesis assay showed that angiogenic parameters such as blood vessel length, size and junctions were stimulated by these complexes. …”

Isolation and characterization of elapitoxin-Bf1b, a postsynaptic neurotoxin from Malaysian Bungarus fasciatus venom by Rusmili, M.R.A., Yee, T.T., Mustafa, Mohd Rais, Othman, L., Hodgson, W.C.

“…α-Elapitoxin-Bf1b produced concentration- and time-dependent neurotoxicity in the indirectly-stimulated chick biventer cervicis muscle preparation, an effect partially reversible by repetitive washing of the preparation. …”
