- Captivity effects on immune response and steroid plasma levels of a Brazilian toad (Rhinella schneideri)
Stefanny Christie Monteiro Titon, Vania Regina Assis, Braz Titon Junior, Bruna de Oliveira Cassettari, Pedro Augusto Carlos Magno Fernandes and Fernando Ribeiro Gomes
Version of Record online: 28 JUN 2017 | DOI: 10.1002/jez.2078
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Toads maintain high corticosterone, while body condition and testosterone gradually fall during prolonged time in captivity. Phagocytic percentage of macrophages and neutrophils decay over time, also associated with decreasing testosterone plasma levels.
- Molecular characterization and tissue expression profiles of prepro-vasoactive intestinal peptide in the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) during the active and hibernating periods
Sheng-Zhou Zhang, Ting Meng, Xue Zhu, Huan Wang, Yong-Kang Zhou and Xiao-Bing Wu
Version of Record online: 15 JUN 2017 | DOI: 10.1002/jez.2072
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Characterized the structure of Chinese alligator prepro-VIP. The caVIP shares high amino acid sequence identity with birds VIP. It might play multiple regulatory roles in the physiological adaptation of Chinese alligator during hibernation.
- Copy number variation of a protease gene of Daphnia: Its role in population tolerance
Anke Schwarzenberger, Nathan R. Keith, Craig E. Jackson and Eric Von Elert
Version of Record online: 13 JUN 2017 | DOI: 10.1002/jez.2077
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
The tolerance of Daphnia populations to protease inhibitors is based on resistance to inhibition of gut protease due to a combined effect of CNV (translating into gene expression differences) and positive selection of tolerant protease isoforms.
- Condition dependence of shared traits differs between sympatric Anolis lizards
John David Curlis, Ryan William Davis, Emily Zetkulic and Christian L. Cox
Version of Record online: 29 MAY 2017 | DOI: 10.1002/jez.2076
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
A sexual signal (dewlap size) and a combat trait (jaw width) were correlated with condition in only one of two anole lizards in this study, suggesting that linkage between energetics and sexually selected traits varies among closely related species.
- Hatching asynchrony impacts cognition in male zebra finches
Simone A. Campbell, Michelle L. Beck and Kendra B. Sewall
Version of Record online: 23 MAY 2017 | DOI: 10.1002/jez.2074
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
– Hatching asynchrony and immune system challenge could impact adult cognition.
– Immune system challenge with LPS after 30 days of age did not impair cognition in male zebra finches.
– Later-hatched males had superior motoric and spatial cognition.
