Neurohypophysial hormones regulate the reproductive behavior of teleosts; however, their role in the gestation and parturition of ovoviviparous fishes with male pregnancy (syngnathids) remains to be demonstrated.

Physiology, endocrinology and chemical communication in aggressive behaviour of fishes
Abstract Fishes show remarkably diverse aggressive behaviour. Aggression is expressed to secure resources; adjusting aggression levels according to context is key to avoid negative consequences for fitness and survival. Nonetheless, despite its importance, the physiological basis of aggression in fishes is still poorly understood.

Region specific changes in nonapeptide levels during client fish interactions with allopatric and sympatric cleaner fish. [PDF]
Social relationships are crucially dependent on individual ability to learn and remember ecologically relevant cues. However, the way animals recognize cues before engaging in any social interaction and how their response is regulated by brain ...

Divergent neural nodes are species- and hormone-dependent in the brood parasitic brain. [PDF]
Mesotocin (MT, homologous to oxytocin in mammals) enhances natural preferences for egg‐related stimuli in brood‐parasitic and parental females alike. In the brain, MT treatment was associated with changes in gene expression in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and the preoptic area in brood parasitic females. Abstract Avian brood parasitism is an

The dual aquaporin (Aqp1ab1/Aqp1ab2)-mediated hydration of marine teleost eggs, which occurs during oocyte meiosis resumption (maturation), is considered a key adaptation underpinning their evolutionary success in the oceans.

Dominant-subordinate status emerges from agonistic encounters. The weakly electric fish, Gymnotus omarorum, displays a clear-cut example of non-breeding territorial aggression.

Arginine vasotocin receptor in the vagina of the oviduct of the hen
The presence of receptor for arginine vasotocin (AVT) in the vagina of the oviduct of the hen was demonstrated by the use of radioligand binding assays on membrane fractions of the tissue. The binding to [125I]AVT was highly competitive with unlabeled AVT. Scatchard analysis revealed that the binding sites are of a single class.

Angiotensin-(1-7) increases osmotic water permeability in isolated toad skin
Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) increased osmotic water permeability in the isolated toad skin, a tissue with functional properties similar to those of the distal mammalian nephron. Concentrations of 0.1 to 10 µM were effective, with a peak at 20 min. This
