A total of six eyeballs from three common kestrels were used as the study material. The examination revealed that the bulbus oculi was spherical in shape and its diameter exceeded the axial\u2010global length. In the equatorial section of the eyeball, the pecten oculi were observed to be situated on the retina layer where the optic nerve enters the eyeball, showing a posterior\u2010to\u2010anterior distribution. The pecten oculi appeared dark brown, with a convoluted structure, comprising approximately 15\u201317 vascular folds. Scanning electron microscopic examination revealed dense capillary vascular folds on the surface of the pecten oculi. Within these capillary vessels, a few hyalocytes were noted, and melanocytes were found at the edges of the folds. Light microscopic examination detected numerous large, medium and small diameter vessels within the folds of the pecten oculi, especially at the periphery of the folds and the apical parts of the pecten oculi. The findings of this study were compared with the morphological characteristics of the pecten oculi in other bird species, revealing both similarities and differences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.70015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,4]],"date-time":"2025-01-04T09:08:41Z","timestamp":1735981721000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Morphological Features of the Pecten Oculi in the Common Kestrel (<i>Falco tinnunculus<\/i>)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3426-2116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bahad\u0131r","family":"Kilin\u00e7","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Control Center Research Institute Directorate  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1082-4559","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Burhan","family":"Toprak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy Yozgat Bozok University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine  Yozgat Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9692-0546","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00fcleyman","family":"Y\u00fcksel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy Kastamonu University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine  Kastamonu Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2712-6792","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emine Hesna","family":"Kandir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Wildlife Diseases and Ecology Afyon Kocatepe University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine  Afyonkarahisar Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5223-2258","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G\u00f6khan","family":"Ko\u00e7ak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry Yozgat Bozok University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine  Yozgat Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","volume-title":"Handbook of Avian Anatomy Nomina Anatomica Avium (Publications of the Nuttall Ornithological Club)","author":"Baumel J.
