Individual variation in animal communication: from species averages to unique voices

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The comparative study of communicative behaviour in non‐human animals, especially primates, has yielded crucial insights into the evolution of human language. This research, mostly focused on the species and population level, has improved our understanding of the various socio‐ecological factors that shape communication systems.

Circadian Corticosterone Profile in Laying Hens (Gallus gallus domesticus)

open access: yesAnimals
Measurement of blood corticosterone concentrations has been established as an indicator for assessment of acute distress. Therefore, knowledge on physiological fluctuations is required, but previous studies allow little conclusion on daily fluctuations ...

Corticosterone and foraging behaviour in a pelagic seabird [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Because endocrine mechanisms are thought to mediate behavioral responses to changes in the environment, examining these mechanisms is essential for understanding how long-lived seabirds adjust their foraging decisions to contrasting environmental ...

Regulating the Plasticity of Hippocampal Neurons via Electroacupuncture in Depression Model Mice

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This study explores the regulation of the plasticity of hippocampal neurons via electroacupuncture in corticosterone‐induced depression model mice. Electroacupuncture at the Zusanli (ST36) acupoint alleviated depression‐like symptoms and enhanced neuronal plasticity in the hippocampal CA1 region by upregulating BDNF and CaMKIIβ, highlighting its ...

Research Note: Quantifying corticosterone in turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) feathers using ELISA

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2020
The measurement of corticosterone in feathers is an appealing tool for assessing glucocorticoids in wild and domestic bird species. Feather corticosterone measurements can be performed noninvasively and can provide a means for comparing glucocorticoid ...

Stress exposure in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy provokes a widespread metabolic response

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
A targeted mass spectrometry‐based metabolomics assay was conducted to identify the impact of stress exposure on the regulation of biological stress pathways in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We demonstrated a broad shift in the circulating stress‐relevant plasma metabolome associated with stressful scruff handling that was ...

A narrative review of the impact of anthropogenic light and noise on owls

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Today, owls are exposed to increasingly brightly lit nights and noisy environments because of human activities. To understand the impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) and anthropogenic noise we performed an evidence synthesis. We searched four literature databases and Google Scholar and we collected 39 relevant articles (1945–2024) providing 125

Expression of corticoid‐regulatory genes in the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr and smolt and during salinity acclimation

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In teleost fishes, cortisol is the major corticoid and has both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. However, how fish tissues discriminate between these distinct corticosteroid actions is unclear. In mammals, the major factors responsible for intracellular corticosteroid regulation are glucocorticoid receptors (grs) and the ...

Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase modulates the effect of inhibitors and alternative substrates of 11[beta]-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Intracellular glucocorticoid reactivation is catalyzed by 11[beta]-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11[beta]-HSD1), which functions predominantly as a reductase in cells expressing hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH).
