Circadian Behavioral Rhythms in Social Insects
The highly developed sociality of insects has been well studied from the perspectives of animal behavior, physiology, and ecology. However, less...

Long-Term Light Deprivation Affects Digestive Function in Rats in Ontogeny
AbstractThe effects of light deprivation on age-related dynamics of body weight, food and water intake, as well as the activity of digestive enzymes...
-
Ontogeny of leukocyte profiles in a wild altricial passerine
Ecophysiological studies have highlighted the relevance of the avian immune system in individual fitness prospects in the wild. However, studies on...

Evolutionary implications of size-selective mortality on the ontogenetic development of shoal cohesion: a neurochemical approach using a zebrafish, Danio rerio, harvest selection experiment
AbstractSize-selective mortality may evolutionarily alter life-history as well as individual behavioral and physiological traits. Moreover,...

Dopamine modulates the retinal clock through melanopsin-dependent regulation of cholinergic waves during development
BackgroundThe mammalian retina contains an autonomous circadian clock that controls various aspects of retinal physiology and function, including...

Dopamine-Producing Neurons in Rat Ontogeny: Phenotypic Features Underlying Molecular Mechanisms of Secretion and Regulation
Abstract —Dopamine (DA), which is synthesized in DA-ergic neurons and so-called monoenzymatic neurons, is involved in the regulation of neuronal...

Effects of multigenerational rearing, ontogeny and predation threat on copepod feeding rhythms
Marine planktonic copepods frequently exhibit diel feeding cycles coupled with vertical migrations. However, copepod feeding rhythms can be...

Transcriptomic evidence for visual adaptation during the aquatic to terrestrial metamorphosis in leopard frogs
BackgroundDifferences in morphology, ecology, and behavior through ontogeny can result in opposing selective pressures at different life stages. Most...
