(A) Wolbachia's success in colonising new hosts depends on the tissue they originate from. (B) Genome resequencing revealed that differences in colonisation success were not due to genetic change but instead to phenotypic plasticity. (C) Six months after injection, Wolbachia's tissue origin no longer influenced their ability to maintain infection ...

ABSTRACT Transvaginal ultrasound‐guided follicular aspiration or ovum pick‐up (OPU) has become the standard technique for oocyte collection in mares for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Although repeated follicular flushes and wall scraping are commonly used to improve oocyte recovery rate (ORR), the relative contribution of each remains ...

This study introduces and investigates different‐sex gonad transplants in a mouse model of gender‐affirming hormone therapy. Ovaries and testes implanted into gonadectomized adults exhibit gametogenesis and steroidogenesis independent of the sex of the host.

Novel Worker‐Like Behavior Observed in Gynes of the Social Parasite Tetramorium microgyna
Our article reports, to our knowledge, the first observations of inquiline gynes performing worker tasks for their host colony. We dissected these gynes to establish that they were all unmated. We hypothesize that nest excavation by social parasites represents an artifact of a non‐parasitic past.

Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer is dependent on compatible mitochondrial DNA and reprogramming factors [PDF]
Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) involves the transfer of a nucleus or cell from one species into the cytoplasm of an enucleated oocyte from another.

Thirty Years of the Biology of Spermatozoa: The Rise and Future of an Evolutionary Paradigm
A sperm bundle taken from the seminal vescicles of the dung beetle, Onthophagus taurus. Image credit: Leigh W. Simmons. ABSTRACT In the early 1970s, Geoff Parker recognised that because females frequently mate with multiple males, competition for fertilizations will impose significant sexual selection on males and their ejaculates.

Karyotyping and localization of genes on the chromosomes of the sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus drobachiensis and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus [PDF]
The purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus , is an important model for probing gene interactions during animal development and is the only non-chordate deuterostome for which a complete genome sequence is available.

This study aimed to evaluate the in ovo injection of nettle extract, mushroom extract and their mixture as natural anti‐aromatase on sex reversal, histological changes in ovaries and testes and carcass characteristics of Ross 308 broiler chickens. Sex differentiation in avian species A completely randomized block design used to allocate 500 fertilized ...

Genome-wide analysis identifies 12 loci influencing human reproductive behavior. [PDF]
The genetic architecture of human reproductive behavior-age at first birth (AFB) and number of children ever born (NEB)-has a strong relationship with fitness, human development, infertility and risk of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Macrophages in endocrine glands, with emphasis on pancreatic islets [PDF]
We review here the macrophages found in endocrine tissues, placing emphasis on those residing in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. The islets represent the endocrine organ where macrophages have been examined in great detail and where our own ...
