Newborn Interneurons in the Accessory Olfactory Bulb Promote Mate Recognition in Female Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2011
In the olfactory bulb of adult rodents, local interneurons are constantly replaced by immature precursors derived from the subventricular zone. Whether any olfactory sensory process specifically relies on this cell renewal remains largely unclear.

Determining if Mating Type Proteins Play a Role in Immaturity of the Ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2019
Tetrahymena thermophila is free‐living ciliate, commonly found in freshwater ponds, and is used as a model research organism. Mating type gene expression is induced in mature cells after they have been starved and put in the presence of cells of a different mating type (Tetrahymena Genome Database, November 10 ...

Wolbachia strain w AlbB confers both fitness costs and benefit on Anopheles stephensi

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted intracellular bacterium that is estimated to infect up to 65% of insect species, but it is not naturally present in Anopheles malaria vectors.

Beyond sex allocation : the role of mating systems in sexual selection in parasitoid wasps

open access: yes, 2014
Funding: UK NERC Doctoral Training GrantDespite the diverse array of mating systems and life histories which characterise the parasitic Hymenoptera, sexual selection and sexual conflict in this taxon have been somewhat overlooked.

Commitment to autogamy in Paramecium blocks mating reactivity: Implications for regulation of the sexual pathway and the breeding system

open access: yes, 1990
Commitment to autogamy blocks mating reactivity in Paramecium. Cells which had previously developed mating reactivity, lost reactivity 30–90 min prior to the preautogamous fission.

HISTOMORPHOLOGICAL POSTNATAL DEVELOPMENTAL STUDY OF THE OVARIES OF THE LOCAL RABBITS (Oryctologus Cuniculus) [PDF]

open access: yesBasrah Journal of Veterinary Research, 2018
This investigation was carried out to point out structural histomorphological changes that take place in the ovaries of female local rabbits at three different postnatal periods of their life that were kitten, immature and mature does.

Tests of search image and learning in the wild: Insights from sexual conflict in damselflies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Search image formation, a proximal mechanism to maintain genetic polymorphisms by negative frequency‐dependent selection, has rarely been tested under natural conditions.

Co-residence between males and their mothers and grandmothers is more frequent in bonobos than chimpanzees.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
In long-lived social mammals such as primates, individuals can benefit from social bonds with close kin, including their mothers. In the patrilocal chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes spp.) and bonobo (Pan paniscus), sexually mature males reside and reproduce in

The developmental high wire: Balancing resource investment in immunity and reproduction

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
The strategic allocation of resources into immunity poses a unique challenge for individuals, where infection at different stages of development may result in unique trade‐offs with concurrent physiological processes or future fitness‐enhancing traits ...
