Hormones and Reproductive Cycles in Snakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The study of the hormonal regulation of reproduction in snakes is in its infancy. Studies have disproportionately examined temperate zone viperid and colubrid snakes, especially the red-sided garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis).

A Review of the Macroscopic, Microscopic, and Ultramicroscopic Characteristics of Some Key Oocyte Developmental Processes in Fish Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Studies involving the reproductive biology of fish have several possibilities of approach, such as the understanding of gonadal development, oocyte development, and the reproductive cycle of the species. In addition, analyses of gonadal morphology can be

Morphological and immunological approach for studying the distribution pattern of mitochondria and germ granules during oogenesis of the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) [PDF]

open access: yes
: A same set of genes is associated to germline determination and differentiation in almost all Metazoa. Previous studies in several animals, also from distantly related taxa, showed a close association between germline determinants in germ granules and ...

The origin of platelets enabled the evolution of eutherian placentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Invasive placentation with extended pregnancy is a shared derived characteristic unique to eutherian mammals that possess a highly effective system of haemostasis, platelets. These are found in all mammals but no other group of animals.

Adjustment of the reproductive activity of vulnerable lizard phymaturus williamsi at high altitudes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In environments with cold climates, reproduction of lizards is restricted to short seasonal periods of activity, from mid-spring to early autumn. We studied the reproductive biology of Phymaturus williamsi (William’s Andean Lizard), a vulnerable and ...

Can Assisted Reproductive Technologies Help Conserve 300 Million Years of Evolution? A First Attempt at Developing These Technologies for Male Reptiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Biodiversity loss is the most critical environmental problem threatening ecosystem, animal, and human health today. Increases in extinction rates have been observed over the past 50 years, with reptile losses occurring twelve times faster than ...

Características histológicas de los estadios de atresia de folículos ováricos en dos especies de teleósteos vivíparos: Ilyodon whitei (Meek, 1904) y Goodea atripinnis (Jordan, 1880) (Goodeidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Atresia, the process of degeneration and removal of ovarian follicles from the ovary is an essential aspect of the ovarian physiology. It plays an important role in fecundity, reducing the number of maturing oocytes. In viviparous teleosts, atresia shows
