Despite the concerted efforts of conservationists, the list of endangered avian species is increasing rapidly. Mercury (Hg) has been implicated as a major contributing factor because of its widespread distribution as a toxic pollutant. Hg poses a hazard to birds because it causes a loss in the reproductive potential of females. The reported reasons for this effect are egg shell-thinning and an ...

Animals of many species accept or solicit recurring copulations with the same partner; i.e., show repeated mating. An evolutionary explanation for this excess requires that the advantages of repeated mating outweigh the costs, and that behavioral components of repeated mating are genetically influenced. There can ...

Over a 19 month period I observed the social behaviors of individually recognized green iguanas, Iguana iguana, at three sites in the llanos of Venezuela. The behavior of iguanas outside the mating season differed from that seen during the mating season i...

To determine the possible genetic nature of behavioral anomalies, an identifiable genetic endpoint, inherited chromosome translocations in the offspring, was selected to evaluate the relationship to behavior. Young adult male Fischer 344 rats were exposed to 50-300 rads of ionizing radiation. Two weeks following their irradiation, the males were ...

Many insect pests have evolved resistance to insecticides. Along with this evolution, the sex pheromone communication system of insects also may change, and subsequently reproductive isolation may occur between resistant and susceptible populations. In this study of the diamondback moth, we found that resistant females (especially Abamectin resistant females) produced less sex pheromone and ...

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is an orexigenic hypothalamic neuropeptide. At least one receptor, MCH receptor 1 (MCHR1), is present in all mammals and is expressed widely throughout the brain, including cortex, striatum and structures implicated in the integration of olfactory cues such as the piriform cortex and olfactory bulb. Consistent with a potential role for MCH in mediating olfactory ...

, the notion of "abnormal" route changes ("abnormal" BGP updates) is not well defined. One AS's "abnormal" BGP learn the "normal" behaviors and use what has been learned to distinguish the "abnormal" from is a form of nearest-neighbor learning, where the label (say "normal" or ...

Fiddler crabs show two different mating modes: either females search and crabs mate underground in male burrows, or males search and crabs mate on the surface near female burrows. We explored the relationship between crab density, body size, the searching behavior of both sexes, and the occurrence of both ...

A review of research conducted during 2006-2008 on the reproductive biology and behavior of the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) will be presented. Information to be discussed will include daily patterns of mating; frequency of mating; pre-mating and pre-oviposition intervals; daily and seaso...

The cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi Baly, is a short-day species that has both a facultative summer and winter adult diapause. In this study, we systematically investigated the effects of parental physiological age, mating pattern (including mating frequency and delayed mating), and diapause duration on the diapause incidence of ...

Adult-born neurons arrive to the olfactory bulb (OB) and integrate into the existing circuit throughout life. Despite the prevalence of this phenomenon, its functional impact is still poorly understood. Recent studies point to the importance of newly generated neurons to olfactory learning and memory. Adult neurogenesis is regulated by a variety of factors, notably by instances related to ...

A presumably x-ray-induced mouse mutation at the p locus, recessive to both p and wild type alleles, has been analyzed. When homozygous the mutant produces the same effect on pigmentation as p p, but in addition there is poor growth, slightly uncoordinated behavior, difficulty in chewing, inadequate maternal care by females, sterility in males, prematare senility, and ...

Mating behavior in ovariectomized female rats treated with estrogen can be greatly enhanced by subcutaneous injections of progesterone. Application of potassium chloride to the cortex of females previously treated with estrogen can also induce greatly increased sexual receptivity as indicated by the lordosis response. This facilitation of ...
