Disease relevance of Canaries

• Aeromonas hydrophila infection incriminated in acute deaths of aviary canaries (Serinus canarius) was successfully treated with chlortetracycline [1].

High impact information on Canaries

• Adult canaries, Serinus canarius, received injections of 3H-labeled thymidine, a marker of DNA synthesis [2].
• We show here that singing enhances mRNA and protein expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the HVC of adult male canaries, Serinus canaria [3].
• The adverse actions of yolk androgen treatment in the kestrel are in contrast to the favourable actions of yolk T treatment found previously in canaries (Serinus canaria) [4].
• We used neural tract tracers (biotinylated dextran amines, fluorescein- and rhodamine-linked dextran amines, and Fluorogold) to show that RA of adult male canaries (Serinus canaria) and zebra finches (taeniopygia guttata) sends an ipsilateral projection to the posterior portion of the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus (DMP) [5].
• Systemic treatment of adult female canaries (Serinus canarius) with testosterone (T) induces song and increases the size of song control regions (SCRs) in the brain [6].

Anatomical context of Canaries

• The patterns of PCNA positivity showed normal proliferation in the telencephalon of the adult male Serinus serinus [7].

Associations of Canaries with chemical compounds

• Male song quality affects circulating but not yolk steroid concentrations in female canaries (Serinus canaria) [8].
• The effect of male song on an estrogen-dependent behavior pattern in the female canary (Serinus canarius) [9].
• Progesterone inhibits female courtship behavior in domestic canaries (Serinus canaria) [10].
• Successful treatment of megabacteriosis in a canary (Serinus canaria) with nystatin [11].
• The postnatal development of the activity of the brain-pituitary-adrenal axis was investigated in an altricial bird species by measurements of plasma corticosterone levels in nestling and fledgling canaries, Serinus canaria [12].

Gene context of Canaries

• Plasma concentrations of prolactin during incubation and parental feeding throughout repeated breeding cycles in canaries (Serinus canarius) [13].
• Changes in entrainment properties of the circadian pacemaking system with respect to changes in reproductive state and molt were investigated in the male domestic canary (Serinus canaria) [14].
