The fear response of two different captive populations of red jungle fowl (rjf, Gallus gallus) was measured in three different tests, a ground predator test, an aerial predator test and a tonic immobility test. The two populations originated from Copenhagen zoo (Cop) and Götala research station (Got) but had been kept together for four generations. Earlier generations had a confirmed difference in fearfulness where the Cop birds exhibited a higher degree of fear response than Got birds (Håkansson and Jensen, 2005; Håkansson et al., 2007). The most and least fearful birds of each sex and population were identified and used in a gene expression study. The midbrain regions from the candidate birds were collected and RNA was isolated from each brain. The RNA was then reversed transcribed to cDNA which was used in a cDNA microarray experiment. 13 significantly differentially expressed genes were found between the fearful and non-fearful females. Among others were the neuroprotein Axin1, two potential DNA/RNA regulating proteins and an unknown transcript in the Quantitative Trait Locus 1(QTL 1), a well studied QTL on chromosome one with substantial effect on both behaviour and morphology during domestication (Schütz et al., 2002). This thesis succeeds in finding a difference in gene expression between fearful and non fearful female rjf but not between males. It fails in identifying gene expression differences between the two populations. Finally, the found differentiated genes suggest a potential molecular mechanism controlling the fear response in fowl.

Thyroid hormones are known to be important in several processes in chicken, such as growth, metabolism and reproductive system. In previous studies the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR)-gene has been identified as a target for a selective sweep in commercial breeds of chicken such as broiler and White Leghorn. The evolution of domesticated species can be split into three periods. The first is the natural selection in their natural habitat, the second the beginning of the domestication process, when humans started to tame and breed the wild animals and the third is when animals were bred for commercial interests such as egg laying properties and meat production in chicken. Landraces, which are domesticated but not commercially bred races, are a great resource for identifying during which period a specific gene, which differs between wild type and commercial bred breeds, were selected. In this study Swedish landrace chickens were used in order to analyze the importance of a mutation in the TSHR-gene in the domestication process. The results of this study gave that all, except two individuals from the Bohuslän-Dals svarthöna were homozygous for the mutation known from commercial breeds. The two individuals from Bohuslän-Dals svarthöna were both heterozygous for the mutation. These results suggest that the TSHR mutation is important for the domestication process and were already more or less fixed at the commencement of commercial breeding. The mutation is thought to be dominant and to have an inhibitory impact on the TSHR activity. This might result in hypothyroidism which would make alterations in the reproductive system. This is plausible because the constant availability of food in captivity makes the seasonal reproductive system no longer critical for survival of progeny.

The diploma thesis is focused on avian domestication and represents a complete summary of existing studies and knowledge on this topic. Domestication is a long-term process which occurs for thousands of years but its consequences are often overlooked. Without any doubts the impact of domestication on the animals is significant and there are several hypothesis presented in the related studies. Considerable part of the studies have shown the ultimate and proximate control, which is responsible for influence of the biology of the Zebra Finch (Teaniopygia guttata). Usually, the comparison of data, which was collected under the same conditions for the wild and exhibition type, was the weak spot of these studies. Theoretical part gathers some of the most important theories related to this issue. Some of them have been used in the own experiment, which took place in my private facility. Therefore, the aim of this study is to prove or disprove particular hypothesis based on the breeding of the Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata). The research took two years and according to the data, the type influences biology of these birds. The results shows that the main factor responsible for nest building, egg size, egg weight, chick weight and the fledging period is the type.

Therefore, it is necessary to know these traits, because they have relevant consequences for the well-being and the performance of captive birds. The behavior of social reinstatement (CRS) can be evaluated in an open field maze by observing if the bird approachs or not to a conspecific, during five minutes. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the CRS of red-winged Tinamou in order to determine the sources of variation and the genetic parameters of this trait in animals raised in captivity. We performed multivariate analysis, using factor analysis and it was revealed the existence of two distinct groups within the sample the movers and the avoiders. The (co) variances estimates were obtained by bayesian inference using the maximum likelihood, for transformed and non-transformed data. The studies traits were standing in quadrant 1 (Pq1), standing in quadrant 4 (Pq4), displacement behavior the quadrant 1 (Aq1) and displacement behavior in the intermediate quadrant (Aqi), where the first two represent the group of avoiders and the last two, the group of movers. The heritability means estimates for the traits Pq1, Pq4, Aq1 and Aqi were respectively 0.28, 0.43, 0.19 and 0.27 for the transformed data. Thus, we concluded that selection could be effective to change the means of these traits

abstract: June Cleaver, and the women who attempted to emulate her perfectly dressed, “happy homemaker” ideal, were considered the epitome of “womanhood” in the 1950s. However, the image of the quintessential domestic diva, in pearls and floral dress is surely a tired and no longer relevant label for the modern woman, right? This research aims to examine whether the “domesticated woman” is still the prevalent social script provided by American advertisers and to determine if there has been a significant change in how often women are portrayed as having an existence not predicated on the home or domestic duties over time. To accomplish this 1,250 American television commercials, spanning from 1970 to 2016, were gathered and analyzed using critical content analysis via a specially designed test, The June Cleaver Test. The commercials garnered were further broken down into 11 pertinent categories (Food, Household Goods, ect.) and results from each of these categories were also tracked. The overall results showed that 54.4 percent of commercials failed to show women outside of domestic or caregiving roles. When broken down by decade, not a single decade managed to pass over 50 percent of those commercials sampled using The June Cleaver Test. This means at no point over nearly 5 decades were the sampled commercials able to show women outside of domestic role more than 50 percent of the time. The implications the continued failure rate above 50 percent across the decades shows is that the trope of women as homemakers and caretakers, instead of employed or having other demands outside of the home, is still being mass produced as a cultural norm. Pertinent and prevalent trends, tropes and stereotypes about women and domestic throughout the sample were also noted and discussed. These findings have significant implications for not only the options available to women in society, but also in moving towards a place where women find economic equity and fight for equal respect in their chosen vocations. June Cleaver has not so much left the kitchen; instead she has just updated her wardrobe. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Communication 2017

O objetivo foi estudar a relação do comportamento de casais com a eficiência reprodutiva, determinada pela produção de ovos, ovos férteis e perdigotos saudáveis, bem como com o tempo de imobilidade tônica, durante a estação reprodutiva. Este trabalho foi dividido em quatro capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, abordou-se aspectos biológicos e ecológicos da espécie, e de sua domesticação. No segundo capítulo, analisou-se o comportamento de casais com e sem postura. Os dados mostram que as aves dos boxes sem postura não formaram casais, uma vez que não apresentaram comportamentos reprodutivos e nem comportamentos agonísticos relacionados aos rituais de cópula. Os comportamentos de perseguir e de ser seguido foram exclusivos de machos e fêmeas, respectivamente. No terceiro capítulo, discutiu-se a relação do comportamento com o tempo de imobilidade tônica (IT) das aves. Os comportamentos mais frequentes foram os mesmos, independente do tempo em IT. Aves com curta IT não apresentaram comportamentos relacionados à corte, mas apresentaram a mesma frequência de monta que as aves com longa IT. No quarto capítulo, comparou-se os comportamentos entre casais com alta e baixa eficiência reprodutiva. Os dados desse capítulo mostram que fêmeas de casais com baixa eficiência reprodutiva ameaçam mais os machos enquanto em casais de alta eficiência os machos ameaçam mais que as fêmeas / The difficulty of Red-winged Tinamus (Rhynchotus rufescens) production is related to the low fertility rate of eggs resulting from, among other things, the inability of these birds to adapt to captivity. This prevents the expression of their standard behavior selected for thousands of generations under natural conditions. The objective of this thesis was to study the relationship between the behavior of couples and their reproductive efficiency, determined by egg production, fertile eggs and healthy Red-winged Tinamus, as well as the tonic immobility time during the breeding season. This work was divided into four chapters. In the first chapter, we discuss biological and ecological aspects of the species, and their domestication. In the second chapter, we study the behavior of couples with and without posture, using birds with long tonic immobility. The data show that the birds from the boxes without oviposition did not form couples, since there were no reproductive behaviors or agonistic behaviors related to mating rituals. The behavior of chasing and being followed were unique to males and females, respectively. In the third chapter, we discuss the relationship between behavior and time of tonic immobility (TI). The most frequent behaviors were the same regardless of the TI time. Birds with short TI did not show courtship related behaviors, but had the same mount frequency as the breeding birds with long TI. In the fourth chapter, we made a comparison between the behavior of couples with high and low reproductive efficiency. The data in this chapter show that female with low reproductive efficiency threaten more males while in couples with high efficiency the males threaten more than females
