The objective of study was to determine seasonal changes of leptin, triiodothyronine, and thyroxine and to determine whether an effect of thyroid hormones on leptin levels in Arabian mare. Blood samples were collected via jugular venipuncture from 16 Arabian mares during breeding and non-breeding season. Hormone concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay. Mean concentrations of leptin wer...
Red deer stags produce an androgen-dependent mane of long hairs only in the breeding season; in the non-breeding season, when circulating androgen levels are low, the neck hair resembles the rest of the coat. This study was designed to determine whether androgen receptors are present in deer follicles throughout the year or only in the mane (neck) follicles when circulating testosterone levels ...
To define ovarian follicular kinetics in the equine ovary during anestrus and the breeding season, the follicular population of pony mares was investigated at mid-anestrus and at the beginning and end of the breeding season. There was a clear effect of season on the exit of reserve (primordial and initiated) follicles since at the beginning of the breeding season we noticed a higher mitotic ind...
Animals have to adjust their physiology to seasonal changes, in response to variation in food availability, social tactics and reproduction. I compared basal corticosterone and testosterone levels in free ranging striped mouse from a desert habitat, comparing between the sexes, breeding and philopatric non-breeding individuals, and between the breeding and the non-breeding season. I expected di...
--Breeding-season pr ductivity (the per capita number of offspring surviving to the end of the breeding season) is seldom estimated for multibrooded songbirds because of cost and logistical constraints. However, this parameter is critical for predictions of population growth rates and comparisons of seasonal productivity across geographic or temporal scales. We constructed a dynamic, stochastic...
The adrenocortical response to acute stress as measured by increase in plasma levels of corticosterone following capture, handling, and restraint over an hour was estimated in free-living male bush warblers at different times of the breeding season on their breeding ground in Chichibu, Honshu, Japan. Initial plasma levels of corticosterone showed a seasonal change, being moderate in April, high...
During the breeding season, five groups of three ewes were implanted at ovariectomy with 0.36, 0.5, 1.0 and 6.0 cm oestradiol implants or implants containing no steroid. Eleven days after receiving implants, blood samples were taken every 10 min for 6 h; implants were then removed. Treatments were repeated three times during each of two consecutive breeding seasons and four times during the int...
The reproductive tissues including the uterus undergo dramatic changes in seasonal breeders from the breeding to non-breeding seasons. Classically, sex steroid hormones play important roles in the uterine morphology and functions. To clarify the relationship between sex steroid hormones and seasonal changes in the uterine morphology and functions, the wild Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus...
In seasonal environments, where density dependence can operate throughout the annual cycle, vital rates are typically considered to be a function of the number of individuals at the beginning of each season. However, variation in density in the previous season could also cause surviving individuals to be in poor physiological condition, which could carry over to influence individual success in ...
An ostrich breeding flock, joined as individual breeding pairs (n = 136 pairs), was used to investigate the possibility of diagnostic ultrasonography as a method to predict the reproductive performance of ostrich females during a breeding season. Follicular activity was easily detected and quantified by using diagnostic ultrasonography. One to 8 follicles were recorded in 25% of females scanned...
