Fungal endometritis associated with embryonic loss in a maiden mare

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Fungal endometritis and placentitis have been reported as a rare but important cause of infertility in the mare. There are no reported clinical cases of fungal endometritis causing embryonic loss in the mare. This case report aims to highlight the potential of fungal endometritis as an aetiological agent in embryonic loss in the mare; an ...

Reproductive Biology of the Smoothtail Spiny Lobster (Panulirus laevicauda) to Support Fisheries Management in Southeastern Brazil

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The smoothtail spiny lobster (Panulirus laevicauda) is one of the main target species for fisheries in Brazil. We aimed to estimate reproductive parameters of this species in support of a minimum legal size limit for the region. A sample of 508 individuals ranged 13.75–100 mm in cephalothorax length (CL) from the southern coast of Espírito ...

Should We Advance Our Understanding of Immunoglobulin E in Viral Immunity?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Immunoglobulin E has been extensively studied in allergies and parasitic diseases. Antigen‐specific IgE has been identified as part of the humoral response to viruses. This revision speculates on possible functionalities for IgE, such as neutralisation, cytotoxicity and immunopathology of viral diseases, and provide insights about gaps to fill in ...

Genetic Relationships Among Resilience, Fertility and Milk Production Traits in Crossbred Dairy Cows Performing in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Change in climate over the past years and its impact on the environment have necessitated the inclusion of resilience traits in the breeding objectives of dairy cattle. However, the relationship between resilience and other traits of economic importance in dairy production is currently not well known. This study examined the genetic parameters

Reproductive biology of invasive grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in two North American systems

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) are nonnative, herbivorous freshwater fish that represent an ecological threat in North American waters. However, data are limited on reproductive biology specific to wild populations in midwestern North America, despite recent concern for grass carp establishment within the Great Lakes.

Reproductive biology, distribution and abundance of Squalus megalops (Macleay, 1881) and Squalus mitsukurii (Jordan & Snyder, 1903) off southern Brazil, southwest Atlantic

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Squalus megalops and Squalus mitsukurii are recognized as the most abundant Squalus species in the southern Brazil region. Currently, S. megalops is listed as ‘least concern’ (LC) and S. mitsukurii as ‘endangered’ (EN). However, at the regional level, both species are classified as ‘data deficient’ – DD, due to the lack of population local ...

Neuroendocrine mechanisms responsible for elevated gonadotrophin‐releasing hormone and luteinising hormone pulses in polycystic ovary syndrome

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility in premenopausal individuals with ovaries worldwide. Despite the diagnostic features of anovulation, ovarian cysts, and hyperandrogenemia, which indicate that ovary dysfunction is the cause of the syndrome, changes in central neuroendocrine circuits are a ...

Increase of astrocyte apposition on GnRH neurons in early puberty onset induced by high fat diet

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
This study suggests that the HFD‐induced anticipation of puberty seems to be, at least partially, mediated by an increase in the interaction between astrocytes and GnRH neurons in both the MPOA and ARC/EM, which may increase the excitability of GnRH neurons.
