Enforcement of Reproductive Synchrony via Policing in a Clonal Ant
In insect societies, worker policing controls genetic conflicts between individuals and increases colony efficiency. However, disentangling relatedness from colony-level effects is usually impossible. We studied policing in the parthenogenetic ant Cerapachys biroi, where genetic conflicts are absent due to clonality and reproduction is synchronized through stereotyped colony cycles. We show tha...
متن کاملReproductive Physiology
This definition continues for four pages, at the end of which one still does not know what the Coordinative Conditions are, but one begins to grasp their enormity. As a biologist I am appalled, not only at the concept of a series of alegbraic conditions that will be capable of expressing biological coordination from the atomic to the societal levels, but also at the amount of factual informatio...
متن کاملProstaglandins in reproductive physiology.
The role of prostaglandins in reproductive physiology is reviewed with particular emphasis on their possible importance in ovulation in humans. A possible interaction between gonadal steroids, biogenic amines and prostaglandins at hypothalamic-pituitary level, in relation to the release of luteinizing hormone releasing factor, and LH, is discussed. Anomalies regarding the role of oestrogens in ...

of the Lancet and the British Medical Journal. When issues were at stake, the former generally expressed the views of the specialists, the whole-time internists and surgeons, and the latter took a stand for the general practitioner and family physician. Some of the statistical data will make strange reading for people whose horizons of the structure of medical care are those of the United State...
متن کاملASAS/ADSA Physiology: Reproductive Physiology
Experiment 1 evaluated pregnancy rates (PRs) when estradiol cypionate (ECP) replaced the second GnRH injection of a timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocol for lactating dairy cows. Cows were pre-synchronized with two injections of PGF2α (Lutalyse r , Pharmacia Corp., 25 mg; i.m.) given to multiparous cows (n=170) at 40 ± 3 and 54 ± 3 d postpartum (dpp) and to primiparous cows (n=201) at 6...
