Disease relevance of Strigiformes

 

High impact information on Strigiformes

 

Biological context of Strigiformes

 

Anatomical context of Strigiformes

  • 1. The influence of sound location and sound frequency on the responses of single units in the midbrain auditory area (MLD) of the owl (Tyto alba) were studied using a movable sound source under free-field conditions [6].
  • Quantitative TEM analysis of the barn owl basilar papilla [7].
 

Associations of Strigiformes with chemical compounds

  • Localization of AMPA-selective glutamate receptors in the auditory brainstem of the barn owl [8].
  • Species feeding on birds (sparrow hawk) and small carnivorous mammals (barn owl) are exposed to DDT and Cd to a much higher extent than species mainly feeding on small herbivorous mammals (kestrel and weasel) [9].
  • Energetic adaptation to fasting in the cold has been investigated in a nocturnal raptor, the barn owl (Tyto alba), during winter [10].
  • Phytane was detected in only three samples: intestine and muscle of two buzzards and lung of one barn owl [11].
  • Fluoride in the prey of barn owls (Tyto alba) [12].
 

Gene context of Strigiformes

  • To study the evolution of owl night-activity cDNA sequences encoding the circadian core oscillator (CCO) proteins BMAL1 and CLOCK were obtained from barn owl (Tyto alba) [13].
  • Each nucleus in the adult barn owl expresses characteristic levels of AMPA receptor subtypes, and all are enriched in the subunits associated with rapid desensitization (GluR2 and 4) [14].
  • Development of calretinin immunoreactivity in the brainstem auditory nuclei of the barn owl (Tyto alba) [15].
  • The taxonomic distribution of seven intronic indels is consistent with the Aanat derived phylogenetic trees and supports conventional family-level groupings within both Strigiformes and Caprimulgiformes [16].
  • Females had higher levels than males except for C32 and C36 in barn owl, C24 in tawny owls, and all hydrocarbons (except pristane) in buzzards [11].
