Chemical cues and the molecular basis of olfactory chemoreception in caudate amphibians

Creator:: Kiemnec, Karen M.
Abstract:: Chemoreception is one of the dominant sensory modalities for many species of salamanders (reviewed in Chapter 2). At least seven of the ten currently recognized salamander families are known to respond to some sort of chemical cue. These responses are as varied as delaying hatching, seeking refuge, or initiating aggressive...

Chemical signaling and pheromone evolution in plethodontid salamanders

Creator:: Palmer, Catherine Anne
Abstract:: My dissertation focuses on the evolutionary forces that have shaped the chemical signaling system of plethodontid salamanders. Pheromones mediate two phases of plethodontid reproduction: mate attraction prior to courtship and female persuasion during courtship. Substrate-borne chemical signals are believed to play an important role in mate attraction for these animals....

Ultraviolet radiation as an environmental stressor of amphibians

Creator:: Bancroft, Betsy A.
Abstract:: My thesis explored the effects of and potential mediating mechanisms for an important environmental stressor, ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation. UVB radiation has negative effects on organisms in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. I used meta-analysis to quantify the effects of UVB radiation on a diversity of aquatic organisms (Chapter 2). UVB...

Phenotypic variation in the sexual attractiveness pheromone of the red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:: LeMaster, Michael P.
Abstract:: Pheromones are chemical cues produced by organisms that affect the behavior and/or physiology of conspecifics. The orchestration of reproductive behaviors in many animals depends on the expression of sex pheromones. In insects, intraspecific variation in sex pheromone expression is commonly observed and often influences social interactions between individuals. To what...

Reproductive ecology and endocrinology of the garibaldi damselfish, Hypsypops rubicundus (Pomacentridae)

Creator:: Sikkel, Paul C.
Abstract:: I examined two aspects of the reproductive behavior of the garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, a temperate marine damselfish with male parental care. My primary objective was to determine the relationship between female choice and male parental investment in the care of offspring. In particular, I sought to determine: (1) how the...

Cytophotometric determinations of nuclear DNA content in tissues of the wax moth larva, Galleria mellonella Linnaeus

Creator:: Longo, Frank J., 1939-
Abstract:: The present study was undertaken to determine, by measurement of nuclear DNA, the degrees and frequencies of ploidy in the last larval instar of the moth Galleria mellonella Linnaeus. While such data have been amassed for a wide variety of vertebrate tissues, few studies have been concerned with invertebrates and...

Activation, modification and suppression of sex pheromone production in garter snakes

Creator:: Parker, M. Rockwell
Abstract:: Vertebrates communicate with one another and coordinate intraspecific reproduction by using a variety of sexually dimorphic signals, such as plumage, ornaments, sounds, and/or scents. These sexual dimorphisms are maintained by physiological factors, typically sex-specific hormones (though see Chapter 3 for an exception). The purpose of the research in this dissertation...

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...
