Reject the odd egg: egg recognition mechanisms in parrotbills [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2014 Studies of the behavior of animals when confronted with tasks differing in complexity can improve our understanding of animal cognition and learning mechanisms. Coevolutionary interactions between brood parasites and their hosts provide an ideal opportunity for studying animal cognition because egg recognition and rejection are some of the most ...

Egg and sperm recognition systems during fertilization [PDF]
Development, Growth & Differentiation, 2008 Fertilization is a programmed process that has many molecules and sequential events amenable to study. The biochemistry of fertilization has identified cellular and acellular components fundamental to the interactions between sperm and egg. Recent studies highlight the molecular details of the species‐specificity of fertilization that involve protein ...

Deep learning enhanced terahertz imaging of silkworm eggs development
iScience, 2021 Summary: Terahertz (THz) technology lays the foundation for next-generation high-speed wireless communication, nondestructive testing, food safety inspecting, and medical applications. When THz technology is integrated by artificial intelligence (AI), it

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Eggs are critically important for avian reproduction as all birds are oviparous. Accordingly, the recognition and care of own eggs represent the cornerstones of avian breeding, whereas the elimination of foreign objects, including brood-parasitic eggs ...

Molecular evolution of candidate male reproductive genes in the brown algal model Ectocarpus [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Evolutionary studies of genes that mediate recognition between sperm and egg contribute to our understanding of reproductive isolation and speciation. Surface receptors involved in fertilization are targets of sexual selection, reinforcement,

Egg discrimination along a gradient of natural variation in eggshell coloration [PDF]
, 2017 Accurate recognition of salient cues is critical for adaptive responses, but the underlying sensory and cognitive processes are often poorly understood. For example, hosts of avian brood parasites have long been assumed to reject foreign eggs from their ...

Which egg features predict egg rejection responses in American robins? : replicating Rothstein's (1982) study [PDF]
, 2018 Rothstein (Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 11, 1982, 229) was one of the first comprehensive studies to examine how different egg features influence egg rejection behaviors of avian brood parasite-hosts.

Insect egg-induced innate immunity: Who benefits?
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Plants perceive the presence of insect eggs deposited on leaves as a cue of imminent herbivore attack. Consequential plant signaling events include the accumulation of salicylic acid and reactive oxygen species, transcriptional reprogramming, and cell ...
