  • 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...

  • Chronobiology of garter snakes : environmental and hormonal mechanisms mediating hibernation and reproduction

    Lutterschmidt, Deborah I.
    Abstract:
    Most vertebrates exhibit seasonality in many life history traits. Such seasonal rhythms are temporally organized via the transduction of environmental cues (e.g., photoperiod, temperature) into appropriate endocrine signals. However, among ectothermic vertebrates that undergo continuous winter dormancy, temperature is the only environmental cue available for synchronizing seasonal rhythms. Most intriguing...
