Body size of male Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at introduction of a 5‐week LD12:12 winter signal influences their decision to mature early or smoltify

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sexual maturation of male Atlantic salmon post‐smolts (‘jacking’) is undesired in aquaculture and seems to occur due to the intensification in modern facilities. Maturation depends on internal and external factors (temperature, photoperiod, feed availability, energy levels, body size, genetic background) that act on the brain‐pituitary‐gonad ...

Impact of the phenotypic and genetic merit of growth, reproduction, and carcass traits on sexual precocity in Nelore heifers using multivariate analysis techniques [PDF]

The aim was to verify, using multivariate techniques, which growth and carcass traits, and their variations throughout the reproductive season, are related to the sexual precocity of Nellore heifers.

Conversion Practices in Eating Disorder Treatment: A Lived Experience Narrative

Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Conversion practices (sometimes referred to as ‘conversion therapy’) refer to interventions that aim to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. While these are often associated with faith‐based settings, they can also occur in secular healthcare contexts.

Intraspecific Variation in Reproductive Aspects of Female Soldier Crabs, Mictyris guinotae, Between the River Mouth and Upper Reach Habitats

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soldier crab, Mictyris guinotae, is a dominant intertidal crustacean associated with sand flats in the vicinity of the Urauchi River estuary on Iriomote Island, Japan. We compared various aspects of its reproductive biology at two sites (the river mouth and upper reach) on exposed bare sand flats 300 m and 3000 m upstream from the mouth ...

Becoming Dostoevsky (how Rowan Williams opens up Bakhtin)

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract With the end of Communism in Russia, non‐materialist contexts were enthusiastically restored to Mikhail Bakhtin's globally famous ideas of carnival, dialogism, and polyphony. This essay surveys Rowan Williams's 2008 study Dostoevsky: Language, Faith + Fiction as a major contribution to this effort, concentrating on those general philosophical ...

Human ovarian reserve from conception to the menopause [PDF]

, 2009
Current understanding is that the human ovary contains a fixed number of several million non-growing follicles (NGF), established by five months of gestational age, that declines with increasing age to the menopause when approximately 1,000 NGF remain at

Evolutionary Conserved and Divergent Responses to Copper Zinc Superoxide Dismutase Inhibition in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After an initial evolution in a reducing environment, life got successively challenged by reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially during the great oxidation event (GOE) that followed the development of photosynthesis. Therefore, ROS are deeply intertwined into the physiological, morphological and transcriptional responses of most present‐day

Evo-devo of human adolescence: beyond disease models of early puberty [PDF]

, 2013
Despite substantial heritability in pubertal development, much variation remains to be explained, leaving room for the influence of environmental factors to adjust its phenotypic trajectory in the service of fitness goals.
