Sex and Survival: Reproduction and Anti-Microbial Defense in the Red-Sided Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis)

Creator:

Blakemore, Leslie A.

Abstract:

The red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) of Manitoba, Canada, have been extensively studied for decades with little investigation into their immune system. These animals live very close to the arctic circle and spend over half of the year underground brumating. The annual cycle of the red-sided garter snakes make...

Masters Thesis
The ontogeny and mediation of sexual size dimorphism in the red-spotted garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus

Creator:

Lerner, Darren T.

Abstract:

A wide range of environmental and physiological factors influence the type and extent of sexual dimorphism found in animals. Influential factors include variable climate, competition for resources and mates, mate choice, and parental investment. In addition, some investigators attribute differences in body size to physiological factors influenced by genetic and...

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...

Dissertation
Stress and reproduction in male garter snakes

Creator:

Moore, Ignacio T.

Abstract:

Animals respond to stressful situations with increases in plasma levels of glucocorticoid stress hormones. These hormones originate from the adrenal cortex in response to stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Glucocorticoids (corticosterone in reptiles) function to mobilize energy and suppress unnecessary functions until the stress passes. Among these immediately unnecessary functions...
