Jasmonic acid levels decline in advance of the transition to the adult phase in maize
Plant Direct, 2019 Leaf‐derived signals drive the development of the shoot, eventually leading to flowering. In maize, transcripts of genes that facilitate jasmonic acid (JA) signaling are more abundant in juvenile compared to adult leaf primordia; exogenous application of

Seasonal changes in plasma levels of sex hormones in the greater Rhea (Rhea americana), a South American Ratite with a complex mating system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Seasonal rhythm in sex hormones has been extensively studied in birds, as well as its relationship with the type of mating system. The Greater Rhea (Rhea americana), a South American ratite species, reproduces seasonally and has a complex mating system ...

Does individual variation in metabolic phenotype predict fish behaviour and performance? [PDF]
, 2015 There is increasing interest in documenting and explaining the existence of marked intraspecific variation in metabolic rate in animals, with fishes providing some of the best-studied examples.

Attainment of reproductive competence, phase transition, and quantification of juvenility in mutant genetic screens [PDF]
, 2014 Plant development between seedling emergence and flowering is characterized by a series of successive qualitative phases: (1) a post embryonic photoperiodinsensitive phase, during which plants are insensitive to photoperiod; (2) a photoperiod ...

Coping styles in farmed fish: consequences for aquaculture [PDF]
, 2017 Individual differences in physiological and behavioural responses to stressors are increasingly recognised as adaptive variation and thus raw material for evolution and fish farming improvements including selective breeding. Such individual variation has

Eat to reproduce: a key role for the insulin signaling pathway in adult insects
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Insects, like all heterotrophic organisms, acquire from their food the nutrients that are essential for anabolic processes that lead to growth (larval stages) or reproduction (adult stage).
