Neuro-Endocrine Control of Reproduction in Hermaphroditic Freshwater Snails: Mechanisms and Evolution
Invertebrates are used extensively as model species to investigate neuro-endocrine processes regulating behaviors, and many of these processes may be extrapolated to vertebrates. However, when it comes to reproductive processes, many of these model species differ notably in their mode of reproduction. A point in case are simultaneously hermaphroditic molluscs. In this review I aim to achieve tw...
متن کاملDevelopment of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the hermaphroditic freshwater snails Drepanotrema surinamense and Drepanotrema depressissimum.
We characterized new variable microsatellites in two congeneric species of hermaphroditic freshwater snails (Drepanotrema depressissimum and D. surinamense), as well as conditions for multiplexing and simultaneously genotyping sets of loci. D. depressissimum had high mean gene diversity (> 0.8) and large number of alleles (= 10.9) per population. Most loci and populations were at Hardy-Weinberg...
متن کاملIntegrative Neuro-Endocrine Pathways in the Control of Reproduction in Lamprey: A Brief Review
The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) system is well known as the main regulator of reproductive physiology in vertebrates. It is also part of a network of brain structures and pathways that integrate information from the internal and external milieu and coordinate the adaptive behavioral and physiological responses to social and reproductive survival needs. In this paper we review the stat...
متن کاملEffects of endocrine modulating substances on reproduction in the hermaphroditic snail Lymnaea stagnalis L.
Various man-made agents like pesticides, industrial chemicals and some natural substances have the potential to alter hormonal pathways that regulate reproductive processes in certain species of wildlife. Until now, only a few investigations have been undertaken to determine the effects of these substances on reproductive capacities (fecundity and fertility) in exposed invertebrate aquatic spec...
متن کاملIdentification and Determination of the Geographical Distribution of Freshwater Snails in Lorestan, Iran
Snails are creatures present in various ecosystems that, in addition to being present in human surroundings, some of them are also important in veterinary medicine and medicine as the intermediate hosts of Digenean trematodes. The present study was conducted to identify and determine the geographical distribution of freshwater snails and investigate the relationship of variables, such as season...
