Optimal level of inbreeding in the common lizard.
Mate choice with regard to genetic similarity has been rarely considered as a dynamic process. We examined this possibility in breeding populations of the common lizard (Lacerta vivipara) kept for several years in semi-natural conditions. We investigated whether they displayed a pattern of mate choice according to the genetic similarity and whether it was context-dependent. Mate choice depended...
متن کاملCardiorenal Effects of Kappa Opioid Peptides During Ontogeny
This review focuses on the physiological roles for kappa opioid receptors (KORs) in adult animals and humans, as well as in the developing newborn animal. Our recent findings have provided new information that under physiological conditions in conscious newborn animals, activation of KORs with the selective agonist, U-50488H, results in an aquaresis, as previously observed in adult animals and ...
متن کاملAcetaldehyde involvement in ethanol's postabsortive effects during early ontogeny
Clinical and biomedical studies sustains the notion that early ontogeny is a vulnerable window to the impact of alcohol. Experiences with the drug during these stages increase latter disposition to prefer, use or abuse ethanol. This period of enhanced sensitivity to ethanol is accompanied by a high rate of activity in the central catalase system, which metabolizes ethanol in the brain. Acetalde...
متن کاملInbreeding effects in wild populations
USA. Small and isolated populations are inherently more vulnerable to external environmental perturbations and chance fluctuations in local survival and fecundity [termed ‘ENVIRONMENTAL STOCHASTICITY’ and ‘DEMOGRAPHIC STOCHASTICITY’, respectively (see Glossary)]. Are they also threatened by inbreeding and the loss of genetic diversity? With data on the effects of inbreeding in wild populations ...
متن کاملRepeatability of Individual Differences in Locomotor Performance and Body Size During Early Ontogeny of the Lizard Sceloporus Occidentalis (Baird & Girard)
The demonstration of repeatability of relative body size and of locomotor performance in growing lizards is relevant to the functional and genetic basis of these traits as well as to an understanding of how they are influenced by natural selection. Relative locomotor performance of hatchlings was strongly repeatable among body temperatures (28, 33 and 370C). We estimated the repeatabilities of ...
