Plasma concentration of progesterone and 17beta-estradiol of black-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta prymnolopha) during the estrous cycle.
Plasma concentration of progesterone and 17beta-estradiol of black-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta prymnolopha) during the estrous cycle. The agouti is a game animal that have been raised in captivity for conservation and sustainability purposes. However, the management of wild animals in an intensive breeding system requires an assertive knowledge of its reproductive parameters, one of the most impo...
متن کاملOcelot ( Leopardus pardalis ) Predation on Agouti ( Dasyprocta punctata ) 1
We collected details on the predation of four agoutis (Dasyprocta punctata) by ocelots (Leopardus pardalis). All kills were made outside of the typical agouti activity period (<0500 h). Agoutis were captured from behind and killed with a bite through the back of the skull. The kill sites for two female agoutis were significantly closer to their den sites than expected, while kill sites for two ...
متن کاملThe subplacenta of the red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina L)
BACKGROUND Hystricognath rodents have a lobed placenta, comprising labyrinthine exchange areas and interlobular trophoblast. These correspond to the labyrinthine and spongy zones of other rodent placentae. Beneath them, however, is a structure unique to hystricognath rodents called the subplacenta. We here describe the subplacenta of the red-rumped agouti and examine the possible functional cor...
متن کاملChanges of agouti-related protein in hypothalamus, placenta, and serum during pregnancy in the rat.
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is a homolog of the agouti protein and acts as an antagonist of peptides derived from propiomelanocortin through melanocortin receptors. This peptide is produced mainly in the hypothalamus, particularly during negative energy balance and influences increased food intake. In the hypothalamus, this peptide is co-expressed in arcuate nuclei with neuropeptide Y, anothe...
متن کاملNon-nurturent functions of mother-young interaction in the agouti (Dasyprocta punctata).
Field observation of the interaction of the precocial young of the agouti (Dasyprocta punctata, a Neotropical rodent) with their dam suggests a number of adaptive functions of mother-young interaction not readily observed in either the species or situations normally employed in laboratory studies of maternal behavior. The presence of the agouti mother in the vicinity of the nest site provides p...
