The response of the brood pouch transcriptome to synthetic estrogen exposure in the Gulf pipefish (Syngnathus scovelli)

Sex Recognition via Chemical Cues in the Sex-Role-Reversed Gulf Pipefish (Syngnathus scovelli)

Mate choice is often based on multivariate suites of traits perceived in more than one sensory modality (Partan & Marler 2005). A variety of scenarios have recently been proposed to address how these complex sets of traits evolve (Candolin 2003; Hebets & Papaj 2005) and interact to elicit receiver responses (Rowe 1999; Partan & Marler 2005; Chenoweth & Blows 2006). Sex-role-reversed systems pro...

Sexual selection on female ornaments in the sex-role-reversed Gulf pipefish (Syngnathus scovelli).

Understanding how selection acts on traits individually and in combination is an important step in deciphering the mechanisms driving evolutionary change, but for most species, and especially those in which sexual selection acts more strongly on females than on males, we have no estimates of selection coefficients pertaining to the multivariate sexually selected phenotype. Here, we use a labora...

The Effects of Synthetic Estrogen Exposure on the Sexually Dimorphic Liver Transcriptome of the Sex-Role-Reversed Gulf Pipefish

Species exhibiting sex-role reversal provide an unusual perspective on the evolution of sex roles and sex differences. However, the proximate effects of sex-role reversal are largely unknown. Endocrine disruptors provide an experimental mechanism to address hormonal regulation of sexually dimorphic gene expression in sex-role-reversed taxa. Here, we investigate gene expression patterns in the l...

Effects of an environmental estrogen on male Gulf pipefish, Syngnathus scovelli (Evermann and Kendall), a male brooding teleost.

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
