Endocrinology of fur growth and reproduction in mink

Creator:: Rose, William Jackson
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine: 1) the effects of exogenous melatonin and reduced photoperiod on molting and growth of the winter pelage (fur) and 2) whether changes in serum prolactin levels of treated and control mink during this same period were correlated with growth of winter fur. Adult and kit...

Neuronal and hormonal control of the vascular system of the marine mollusc, Aplysia californica

Creator:: Ligman, Scott H.
Abstract:: The vascular system of Aplysia californica is a simple visceromotor system with three main arteries innervated by a small pool of identified neurons. I used this system to study the functions of neuropeptide transmitters and their actions on neural and muscle tissues. A central finding of this study is that...

The effects of parasites on host behavior : who benefits?

Creator:: Lefcort, Hugh G.
Abstract:: Some parasites may modify the behavior of their hosts. Altered behaviors may: 1) benefit the host in that they defend against the pathogen, 2) benefit the pathogen and represent manipulations of the host response, and 3) benefit neither the host or the pathogen and simply be a product of the...

Cannibalism in larvae of the long-toed salamander, Ambystoma macrodactylum

Creator:: Wildy, Erica Lynn
Abstract:: Predator-prey interactions have historically been studied to explain patterns of organization observed in populations and communities. They have also been important in understanding the evolution of antipredator responses in prey and counterstrategies in predators. Despite the breadth of knowledge that exists for heterospecific interactions, relatively few studies have investigated the...

The ecological and behavioral dynamics of breeding in three sympatric anuran amphibians

Creator:: Olson, Deanna H.
Abstract:: Breeding ecology and behavior were investigated in a field study of three sympatric anuran amphibians in the Oregon Cascade Mountains: the western toad (Bufo boreas), the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae) and the Pacific treefrog (Hyla regilla). A comprehensive study of the western toad mating system was conducted at three populations...

Nongenomic action of progesterone inhibits oxytocin signaling through the ovine oxytocin receptor

Creator:: Bishop, Cecily V.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to characterize the nongenomic effects of progesterone (P4) on binding of oxytocin (OT) to the ovine oxytocin receptor (OTR) and signal transduction. The dose-response relationship of P4 to OT binding to the OTR in endometrium was examined. Progesterone interfered with the binding of OT to the OTR...

Deposition and persistence of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons after slash burning clear-cut sites in Oregon

Creator:: Sullivan, Timothy Joseph
Abstract:: Research has been completed which identifies qualitatively and quantitatively the deposition, persistence and fate of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAH) on burned clear-cut sites in Oregon. Eight PNAH were identified and quantified in post-burn litter samples taken from four slash-burned sites. Deposition of lower molecular weight, 3-4 ring compounds was considerably...
