Temperature-induced variation in yolk androgen and thyroid hormone levels in avian eggs.
Global warming has substantially changed the environment, but the mechanisms to cope with these changes in animals, including the role of maternal effects, are poorly understood. Maternal effects via hormones deposited in eggs, have important environment-dependent effects on offspring development and fitness: thus females are expected to adjust these hormones to the environment, such as the amb...
متن کاملNo sex difference in yolk steroid concentrations of avian eggs at laying.
Yolk steroids of maternal origin have been proposed to influence genetic sex determination in birds, based on sex differences in yolk steroid concentrations of peafowl eggs incubated for 10 days. More recent reports dispute this proposal, as yolk steroids in eggs incubated for 3 days do not show such sex differences. To date, research examining this phenomenon has only analysed incubated eggs, ...
متن کاملEffect of egg yolk of four avian species on the cryopreserved ram spermatozoa
Egg yolk is the most commonly used cryoprotective agent for sperm cryopreservation of several species.The objective of this experiment was to compare the effectiveness of egg yolk from four avian species(domestic chicken, duck, turkey and pigeon) on sperm quality following cryopreservation of the ram semen.Ejaculates were collected, using an electroejaculator, from six fertile rams. Samples wer...
متن کاملWest Nile virus seroprevalence rates of various avian species
The house sparrow ( Passer domesticus ) is a common and abundant amplifying host of West Nile virus (WNV) and many survive infection and develop humoral immunity. We experimentally inoculated house sparrows with WNV and monitored duration and protection of resulting antibodies. Neutralizing antibody titers remained relatively constant for ≥ 36 months ( N = 42) and provided sterilizing immunity ...
متن کاملEgg yolk layers vary in the concentration of steroid hormones in two avian species.
Maternally derived steroid hormones are known to be present in the yolks of avian eggs; however, the physiological mechanisms involved in their deposition remain largely unexplored. Investigations of steroid production by avian follicles have demonstrated temporal differences in the concentrations of progesterone, 17beta-estradiol, and testosterone during yolk formation. Because yolk is deposit...
