Factors Affecting Multiple Paternity: Insights From the Eastern Quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus)
Eastern quolls (Dasyurus viverrinus) exhibit multiple paternity in approximately half of all litters. Reproductive success is correlated with heavier weight, youth, and being black rather than fawn colour morph. A cross‐species analysis indicates that high rates of multiple paternity within the Dasyuridae area correlated with shorter lifespan and ...

Methodological Challenges for Ablation of BMPR1A in Hypothalamic Tanycytes—A Cautionary Tale
Two strategies were used to target BMPR1A in adult hypothalamic tanycytes: (1) inducible Rax‐CreERT2 and (2) AAV‐Dio2‐iCre–mediated recombination. Although robust expression of reporter fluorescence and recombination gel analysis confirmed Cre activity in both models, BMPR1A expression was not reduced in targeted tanycytes.
