Effect of Captivity on Chemical Profiles of the Sexual Attractiveness Pheromone of the Red-Sided Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:

Rudie, Katherine A.

Abstract:

This study investigated the effect of captivity on the chemical profiles of the female sexual attractiveness pheromone of the red-sided garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis). Dorsal skin lipids were extracted from female garter snakes collected from the Interlake region of Manitoba, Canada. A comparison of captive and wild snakes was...

Sperm depletion and sperm competition in the red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:

Kerns, Amelia R.

Abstract:

Sperm competition is the post-copulatory analog of male-male combat, wherein sperm from more than one male coincide in a female’s reproductive tract and compete with one another for fertilization of a limited number of ova. Post-copulatory sexual selection, such as sperm competition, can be a powerful driving force for the...

UVB Radiation Affects the Quality of the Female Sexual Attractiveness Pheromone of the Red-Sided Garter Snake

Creator:

Vigeland, Anna E.

Abstract:

In this study, pheromone and skin lipid samples collected from red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) were exposed directly to either full-spectrum light or full-spectrum plus UVB light. In addition, female and male snakes were exposed to daily doses of either full-spectrum or full-spectrum and UVB light, after which the...
