Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Oxytocin (OT) is a crucial regulator of reproductive behaviors, including parturition in mammals. Arg-vasopressin (AVP) is a nonapeptide homologous to Arg-vasotocin (AVT) in teleosts that has comparable affinity for the OT receptor. In the present study,

Predation risk reduces a female preference for heterospecific males in the green swordtail [PDF]
, 2016 The presence of a predator can result in the alteration, loss or reversal of a mating preference. Under predation risk, females often change their initial preference for conspicuous males, favouring less flashy males to reduce the risk of being detected ...

Small, EarlyView.A new nanoparticle‐based biomarker panel is described that can differentiate pancreatic cancer from benign pancreatic disease with a high level of performance. This was enabled by microelectrode array recovery technology that used dielectrophoresis (DEP) to quickly and efficiently recover the nanoparticles from patient plasma samples, followed by on ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2), have raised concerns about their potential effects on aquatic organisms, particularly during early developmental stages. In this context, the study of behavioral disruption has gained considerable attention, as it may have consequences on individual fitness and ...

Fish Space Use and Behavior in an Aquarium: The Use of Microhabitats as Enrichment
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.The inclusion of microhabitats in a stream tank serves as environmental enrichment for fish in human care. ABSTRACT Environmental enrichment is an important tool to maintain the health and well‐being of animals in human care, but studies of environmental enrichment for fish in human care have lagged behind those of land animals.

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...
