Birds are underutilized as animal models for studying the basis of longevity, cellular adaptations for resisting oxidative damage, and delayed reproductive senescence. Reproductive aging patterns in female birds range from slightly slower than those in rodents of similar size to extremely slow or even negligible. The best-studied laboratory bird model of female reproductive aging is the relatively short-lived, rapidly aging domestic laying hen. Promising long-lived avian models for the prolongation of fertility include cage birds, like the budgerigar, and wild seabirds, like the Common Tern, many of which show no reproductive aging in nature. Preliminary comparisons of ovarian aging patterns in Japanese quail and budgerigars suggest that declining stores of primary oocytes may play different roles in fertility declines in these two species, as they do among mammals.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 March 2021.
All research outputs
#6,850,925
of 32,091,044 outputs
Outputs from Experimental Gerontology
#1,064
of 3,220 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,294
of 70,866 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Experimental Gerontology
#6
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,091,044 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 78th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,220 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 70,866 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
