Abstract: The uropygial (preen) gland is a holocrine organ unique of Aves. Although several studies have been performed on the uropygial gland of different bird species, knowledge about this gland in Columbiformes is scarce. In order to fill this gap, we analysed in detail the external morphology and the histological and histochemical features of the uropygial gland of the Eared Dove (Zenaida auriculata) in a comparative context. The uropygial gland of the Eared Dove is characterized by its pear-like shape composed of t… Show more

“…Similar histochemical techniques and lectin‐histochemical results obtained for the monk parakeet were found for doves ( Columba livia , Montalti, Quiroga, Massone, Idiart, & Salibian, ; and Zenaida auriculata , Chiale et al, ). Parrots (Psittaciformes) and doves (Columbiformes) are phylogenetically distant but share some characteristics like being terrestrial and granivorous birds.…”

“…Despite a plethora of studies about the size, morphology, histology, secretion, and function of the UG of several bird species (e.g., Chiale, Carril, Montalti, & Barbeito, ; Golüke & Caspers, ; Harem et al, ; Haribal, Dhondt, Rosane, & Rodriguez, ; Martín‐Vivaldi, Ruiz‐Rodríguez, Soler, Peralta‐Sánchez, & Méndez, ; Mohamed, ; Møller, Erritzøe, & Rózsa, ; Moreno‐Rueda, ; Moyer, Rock, & Clayton, ; Sadoon, ; Sawad, ; Soler, Peralta‐Sánchez, Martín‐Plateros, Martín‐Vivaldi, & Martínez‐Bueno, ), little is known about its morphogenesis. Contributions on this topic are restricted to a few old studies focused on chickens, quails and ducks (e.g., Bride & Gomot, ; Fukui, ; Fukui, ; Fukui, ; Wagner & Boord, ), and the recent article on the Laysan albatross Phoebastria immutabilis (Rehorek, Wu, Smith, & Beeching, ).…”

“…At the histological level, the UG is a holocrine organ surrounded by a capsule of dense connective tissue from which the intermedial septum and thin branches that surround the adenomers originate (Reynolds et al, 2017). Apart from collagen fibres, the capsule and the intermedial septum also have reticular and elastic fibres, while the connective tissue around the adenomers is principally formed by reticular fibres (Carril et al, 2019;Chiale et al, 2014;Chiale et al, 2015;Chiale et al, 2016;Chiale et al, 2019). The lobes have tubular or tubuloalveolar adenomers with a stratified epithelium formed of four different strata: basal or germinative intermediate, secretory and degenerative (Jacob & Ziswiler, 1982;Lucas & Stettenheim, 1972).…”

“…The lobes have tubular or tubuloalveolar adenomers with a stratified epithelium formed of four different strata: basal or germinative intermediate, secretory and degenerative (Jacob & Ziswiler, 1982;Lucas & Stettenheim, 1972). This secretor system converges in secondary chambers and eventually in a primary storage chamber (Chiale et al, 2014;Chiale et al, 2016;Chiale et al, 2019;Jacob & Ziswiler, 1982;Kozlu et al, 2011). Lucas and Stettenheim (1972) divided the adenomers in three zones depending on the epithelial height and lumen width: Zone I (outermost), Zone II (media) and Zone III (innermost).…”
