Numbers and Distribution of Sperm in the Uterovaginal Sperm Storage Tubules of the Zebra Finch’
The number and distribution of sperm in the sperm storage tubules (SSTs) in the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) of the Zebra Finch (Poephila guttata) oviduct was examined under three copulation patterns: single insemination, multiple insemination by the same male, and multiple insemination by two males in sequence. The proportion of SSTs containing sperm varied markedly between birds (range = 22-99...
متن کاملDevelopmental song learning in the zebra finch
Developmental learning (for example, speech acquisition in human infants) takes place early in life but its effects may last the entire lifetime of the individual. Developmental learning is difficult to study because the behavioral changes involved span many time scales: The challenge is to relate the developmental parameters to behavioral changes, which can occur within hours as well as across...
متن کاملInbreeding depression of sperm traits in the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata
Inbreeding depression, or the reduction in fitness due to mating between close relatives, is a key issue in biology today. Inbreeding negatively affects many fitness-related traits, including survival and reproductive success. Despite this, very few studies have quantified the effects of inbreeding on vertebrate gamete traits under controlled breeding conditions using a full-sib mating approach...
متن کاملProposal to Sequence the Genome of the Zebra Finch ( Taeniopygia guttata ) Submitted to NHGRI by the Zebra Finch Genome Consortium
We enthusiastically advocate the zebra finch, a songbird, as a target of highest priority for whole genome sequencing. The zebra finch is an established research organism with particular relevance to human neuroscience and a proven track record of influential ground breaking discoveries that have informed human biology. Evolutionary considerations, such as distance from other sequenced genomes,...
