Seasonal gametogenesis and egg laying in the prosobranch gastropods Nucella lamellosa, Nucella emarginata, Searlesia dira and Amphissa columbiana on the Oregon coast

Creator:: Seavy, Donald Keith
Abstract:: A 15-month field study was made on the reproductive cycles of the prosobranch gastropods Nucella lamellosa, Nucella emarginata, Searlesia dira and Amphissa columbiana on the Oregon coast. Amphissa columbiaria and Searlesia dira were collected from Boiler Bay, Nucella emarginata from Seal Rock and Nucella lamellosa from inside Yaquina Bay. All...

Evolution of sodefrin precursor pheromones in salamandrid newts

Creator:: von Reis, Martha
Abstract:: An ancient pheromonal signal is found in aquatic courting salamandrids and terrestrial courting plethodontids, two highly divergent salamander families. In the aquatic courting salamandrids Cynops pyrrhogaster and C. ensicauda, the decapeptide sodefrin is cleaved from a larger 189 amino acid Sodefrin Precursor Factor (SPF) protein and released from a gland...

The role of perinatal androgens in the development of neuroendocrine and behavioral characteristics of the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus

Creator:: Spielvogel, Sandra Petersen
Abstract:: These studies examined the role of perinatal androgen in the development of neuroendocrine and behavioral characteristics of gray-tailed voles, Microtus canicaudus. When mature, females exhibited alternating vaginal smear patterns or persistent vaginal cornification; estrogen and progesterone concentrations were not correlated with vaginal smear patterns. Corpora lutea were not observed in...

Identification and characterization of vasotocin and mesotocin peptides and receptors

Creator:: Searcy, Brian T.
Abstract:: The neurohypophysial peptide system is involved in modulating a variety of physiological, neurological, and behavioral responses in vertebrates. The principal forms of these peptides in non-mammalian tetrapods are vasotocin (VT) and mesotocin (MT). The studies described in this thesis used pharmacological, molecular, and biochemical techniques, along with phylogenetic analyses, to...

The role of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone in the neuroendocrine control of seasonal reproduction in male rough-skinned newts, Taricha granulosa

Creator:: Zoeller, Robert T.
Abstract:: One hypothesis proposed to explain how the endocrine system controls reproductive cycles in seasonally breeding animals is that the hypothalamus undergoes seasonal changes in sensitivity to negative feedback by gonadal steroids. The result is seasonal changes in the secretion of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) and gonadotropin secretion. The present experiments...

Rapid effects of corticosterone on stress-related behaviors in an amphibian

Creator:: Chiavarini, Katherine E.
Abstract:: In the wild, when an animal is exposed to predators or harsh conditions, the stress response is often associated with fleeing behaviors, which are seen as increased locomotor behavior. Handling-stress procedures and intracerebroventricular (icy) injection of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) have both been shown to cause an increase in locomotor activity...

Neuroendocrine mechanisms that regulate context-dependent behavioral responses to acute stress

Creator:: Coddington, Emma
Abstract:: In nature, animals survive threats by responding physiologically and behaviorally in ways that are appropriate to the situation. Which responses are appropriate depend on the animals' surroundings and current physiological and behavioral state. This dissertation investigated the neuroendocrine mechanisms that control context-dependent behavioral responses to stress by focusing on the...

Neuroanatomical distribution of androgen and estrogen receptors in the brain of the roughskin newt, Taricha granulosa

Creator:: Davis, Glen Andrew
Abstract:: The gonadal steroids, testosterone and estradiol, are known to be important modulators of neuronal functions and behaviors in most vertebrate species. These steroid hormones also elicit changes in neuropeptide synthesis and secretion, alter specific neurohormone receptor levels, and alter neuronal morphology and electrophysiology. Many of the actions of androgens and...
