Ultrastructure and histological features of the Pecten oculi of the African Swamphen (Porphyrio madagascariensis): With special focus on its SEM-EDX analysis and its migratory behaviour

Key Points

• The ultrastructure of the pecten oculi provides insight into visual adaptations for migration.
• SEM-EDX analysis shows distinct histological features, contributing to understanding migratory behaviour.
• This observational analysis details the structural characteristics relevant to visual functionality.
• Findings may enhance our understanding of migratory patterns and adaptations in avian species.
