Northern geometrid forest pests (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) hatch at lower temperatures than their southern conspecifics: Implications of climate change

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
Climate change may facilitate shifts in the ranges and the spread of insect pests, but a warming climate may also affect herbivorous insects adversely if it disrupts the locally adapted synchrony between the phenology of insects and that of their host ...

Cytokines and Blastocyst Hatching [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2015
Blastocyst implantation into the uterine endometrium establishes early pregnancy. This event is regulated by blastocyst‐ and/or endometrium‐derived molecular factors which include hormones, growth factors, cell adhesion molecules, cytokines and proteases. Their coordinated expression and function are critical for a viable pregnancy.

Maternal inbreeding reduces parental care in the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Increased embryo mortality is the most commonly cited cause of reduced fitness in inbred organisms. Reduced embryo survival may be the result of reduced parental expenditure by inbred individuals and here we tested the hypothesis that inbreeding results ...

Neural control of hatching: fate of the pattern generator for the leg movements of hatching in post-hatching chicks [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 1984
Chicks from 0 to 61 days post-hatching were gently folded into the hatching position and placed in artificial glass eggs. Within 0 to 2 min they began to produce a behavior that qualitatively resembled normal hatching. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of electromyographic records showed that under these conditions the intralimb and interlimb leg ...
