Cleidoic eggs possess very efficient and orchestrated systems to protect the embryo from
external microbes until hatch. The cuticle is a proteinaceous layer on the shell surface in …

Reptile eggshell ensures water and gas exchange during incubation and plays a key role in
reproductive success. The diversity of reptilian incubation and life history strategies has led …

Based on the well-known excellent adsorbent ability of chicken eggshells, the adsorptive
capacity and mechanism of Remazol Brilliant Violet-5R (RBV-5R) dye by eggshell was …

The bacterial load on the eggshell surface is a key factor in predicting the bacterial
penetration and contamination of the egg interior. The eggshell cuticle is the first line of …

Understanding non-crown dinosaur reproduction is hindered by a paucity of directly
associated adults with reproductive traces. Here we describe a new enantiornithine, Avimaia …

The survival of a bird's develo** embryo depends on the egg's ability to stay within strict
thermal limits. How eggshell colours help maintain thermal balance is a long-standing and …

Background Avian eggs have a proteinaceous cuticle. The quantity of cuticle varies and the
deposition of a good cuticle in the uterus (Shell-gland) prevents transmission of bacteria to …

The ability to monitor develo** avian embryos and their associated vascular system via
candling enables the application of important reproductive management techniques. Egg …

In eggs, there are several components: eggshell (ES), eggshell membrane (ESM), egg white
(EW), and egg yolk (EY). Many modification methods exist, such as thermal treatment, high …

The eggs of avian obligate brood-parasitic species have multiple adaptations to deceive
hosts and optimize development in host nests. While the structure and composition of the …
