Hematological changes associated with egg production: estrogen dependence and repeatability.
The 'cost of reproduction' (i.e. the trade-off between current reproduction and future fecundity and/or survival) is a central concept in life history theory, yet we still know very little about the physiological mechanisms underlying such costs. Recently it has been recognized that reproduction itself or the regulatory (hormonal) mechanisms underlying reproduction might result in 'costs' (cf. ...
متن کاملHematological changes associated with egg production: direct evidence for changes in erythropoiesis but a lack of resource dependence?
Reductions in hematological parameters among laying birds are well reported, but the cause of this anemia is not known. We tested specific predictions generated from several, non-mutually exclusive hypotheses for mechanisms underlying reproductive anemia associated with egg production (hemodilution, transient suppression of erythropoiesis, resource dependence) in relation to (1) the time-course...
متن کاملEstimating Repeatability of Egg Size
—Measures of repeatability have long been used to assess patterns of variation in egg size within and among females. We compared different analytical approaches for estimating repeatability of egg size of Black Brant. Separate estimates of repeatability for eggs of each clutch size and laying sequence number varied from 0.49 to 0.64. We suggest that using the averaging egg size within clutches ...
متن کاملVitellogenin dynamics during egg-laying: daily variation, repeatability and relationship with egg size
Daily variation in circulating levels of the avian yolk precursor, vitellogenin (VTG), throughout the laying cycle was investigated in female zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata and compared with predicted ovarian follicle demand (based on a model of follicular development for this species). In general, the pattern of variation in plasma VTG matched the predicted demand from the developing ovaria...
متن کاملMalaria and Hematological Changes
Objectives: The hematological changes associated with acute malaria are well recognized. This study was conducted to assess and compare the incidence and severity of hematological changes in various types of malaria in adult population. Methodology: This observational study included 133 acute malaria patients admitted in the Infectious Diseases Unit of Rashid Hospital Dubai (JCI accredited) UAE...
