High impact information on Galliformes

  • The antigenic determinant of this protein seems to be specific of order Anseriforme and it is not present in the ovalbumin of order Galliforme [1].
  • Our results also suggest a rapid but ancient radiation among the Galliformes such that the majority of cytochrome b sequence differences among taxa have accumulated on the terminal branches of the reconstructed phylogenetic trees [2].
  • Although the chachalaca is classified zoologically in the order Galliformes, which includes chickens and other pheasant-like birds, its lysozyme differs more from those of pheasant-like birds than do the lysozymes c of ducks [3].
  • Here, we describe a molecular timescale for Galliformes based on cytochrome b and ND2 using nine mostly internal fossil-based anchorpoints [4].
  • Evolution of the mitochondrial DNA control region and cytochrome b genes and the inference of phylogenetic relationships in the avian genus Lophura (Galliformes) [5].

Associations of Galliformes with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Galliformes

  • An analysis of existing embryonic and nestling growth and metabolic data utilizing Heusner's model for generating mass-independent measures of metabolism (MIM values) reveals various patterns: Anseriformes and Galliformes have eggs with high energy density, and these species have relatively high and variable embryo/adult MIM ratios [12].
