Reproductive biology and behavior of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) on Guam.

Creator:: Waye, Heather L.
Abstract:: While there are many more species of reptiles in the tropics than in temperate latitudes, relatively little is known about the natural history of tropical species of snakes. Even basic information, such as reproductive ecology and behavior, is lacking. Patterns of reproduction in tropical species differ from patterns in temperate...

The ontogeny and mediation of sexual size dimorphism in the red-spotted garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus

Creator:: Lerner, Darren T.
Abstract:: A wide range of environmental and physiological factors influence the type and extent of sexual dimorphism found in animals. Influential factors include variable climate, competition for resources and mates, mate choice, and parental investment. In addition, some investigators attribute differences in body size to physiological factors influenced by genetic and...

Adaptive diversity and divergence at frog antimicrobial peptide loci

Creator:: Tennessen, Jacob A.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I study evolutionary patterns at genes encoding antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in frogs. AMPs are short, amphipathic, cationic, secreted proteins that kill bacteria and other pathogens through a non-catalytic mechanism that involves binding to and disrupting the microbial cell membrane. In many animal taxa, positive selection is much...

Thermal ecology of the garter snakes Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus (Hallowell) and Thamnophis ordinoides (Baird & Girard)

Creator:: Stewart, Glenn R.
Abstract:: In recent years, studies dealing with temperature regulation, temperature sensitivity, and physiological responses to temperature in lizards and other reptiles have increased tremendously. It is notable that snakes have been largely ignored in such studies. This no doubt is due to their less direct relationship to ancestral endotherms. However, problems...

An histochemical study of the changing patterns of glycogen distribution in the estrus cycle and post partum (non lactation) uterus of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus Waterhouse)

Creator:: Sype, William E.
Abstract:: This histochemical study deals with the changing patterns of glycogen in the uterus of the immature virgin, cycling virgin, and post partum (non-lactating) golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus Waterhouse). The periodic acid-Schiff technique was used for the histochemical localization of glycogen in the uterus of the immature, cycling and non-lactating post...

The function of orange breeding coloration in the social behavior of the long-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia wislizenii)

Creator:: Moore, Edith
Abstract:: The role of orange coloration in the breeding behavior of Gambelia wislizenii was examined in the Alvord Basin of southeast Oregon. Behavioral observations of free ranging lizards supplemented field experiments where I manipulated the sex and color of lizards encountered by resident female G. wislizenii before and after they acquired...

An histochemical study of the changing patterns of glycogen distribution in the uterus and extra-embryonic membranes of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus Waterhouse)

Creator:: York, James Walter
Abstract:: This study deals with the histochemistry of the changing patterns of glycogen in the uterus and extra-embryonic membranes of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus Waterhouse). The uterus and extra-embryonic membranes of the golden hamster representing days of gestation from six to term were stained with periodic acid-Schiff and Best's carmine....
