Hormonal control of brood care and social status in a cichlid fish with brood care helpers.
We studied the role of steroid hormones for parental and alloparental brood care and social status in a cooperatively breeding fish. We measured excretion levels of testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone in males, estradiol-17beta in females and cortisol in both sexes at different stages of the breeding cycle, and compared these values to data measured in non-reproductive fish. Brood care behavio...
متن کاملCloning and expression of Iranian Turkmen-thoroughbred horse follicle stimulating hormone in Pichia pastoris
Background: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an essential role in reproductive physiology and follicular development. Objective: A new variant of the equine fsh (efsh) gene was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) GS115 yeast expression system. Materials and Methods: The full-length cDNAs of the efshα and efshβ chains were amplified by reverse transcriptio...
متن کاملLeast Squares Techniques for Extracting Water Level Fluctuations in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea
Extracting the main cyclic fluctuations from sea level changes of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea is vital for understanding the behavior of tides and isolating non-tidal impacts such as those related to climate and changes in the ocean-sea circulations. This study compares two spectral analysis methods including: Least Squares Spectral Analysis (LSSA) and Least Squares Harmonic Estimation (LSHE)...

Tiger barb is an interesting fish that has long been in Iranian aquariums and has attracted the attention of enthusiasts. The barbs are a subfamily (Cyprinidae) of freshwater fishes native to Southeast Asia. The natural geographical range o...
متن کاملAdaptations to subordinate status in female marmoset monkeys.
In singular cooperatively breeding mammals, social status is a key determinant of female reproductive success. Usually only one dominant female breeds in a social group. In the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), a cooperatively breeding primate, adaptations to nonbreeding subordinate status appear to parallel those found in social insect societies which demonstrate similar skew to the marmos...
