Modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis of an Arctic-breeding polygynandrous songbird, the Smith's longspur, Calcarius pictus

, 2003
To successfully reproduce in the Arctic, birds must modulate their neuroendocrine and behavioural systems. These adjustments include an attenuation of the stress responsiveness of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to external stimuli and a ...

Seasonal expressions of VEGF and its receptors VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 in the prostate of the wild ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus)

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2021
As a vital male accessory reproductive gonad, the prostate requires vascular endothelial growth factors for promoting its growth and development. In this study, we investigated the localizations and expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)

Non-Seasonal Breeding in a Porcellionid Isopod [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2001
Abstract Female Porcellio laevis (Latreille) raised in the laboratory first reproduced when 7 months old and can breed up to 7 times during their life time irrespective of season. In that, this species differs from most other isopod species studied so far. After a single mating, a female can breed several times without the presence of a male presumably

Behavioral evidence of thermal stress from overheating in UK breeding gray seals

, 2002
Gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) in the UK exhibit clear preferences for pupping close to pools of water on inland breeding sites. The reasons for this are unclear as seals are thought to derive all their water requirements from the metabolism of fat ...

Integrative Analysis Provides Insights into Genes Encoding LEA_5 Domain-Containing Proteins in Tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.)

Plants
LEA_5 domain-containing proteins constitute a small family of late embryogenesis-abundant proteins that are essential for seed desiccation tolerance and dormancy.

The photoneuroendocrine control of seasonal breeding in the ewe [PDF]

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1981
Abstract The major environmental parameter controlling seasonal breeding in ewes is photoperiod. Short days stimulate, and long days inhibit breeding activity. One of the more intriguing enigmas of neuroendocrinology is the endocrine mechanism whereby a mere change in daylength initiates or prevents estrous cycles.

Insights into the Stearoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Desaturase (SAD) Family in Tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.), an Oil-Bearing Tuber Plant

Plants
Plant oils rich in oleic acid (OA) are attracting considerable attention for their high nutritional value and significant industrial potential. Stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturases (SADs) are a class of soluble desaturases that play a key role in OA
