Plasma corticosterone response to an acute stressor varies according to reproductive condition in female tree lizards (Urosaurus ornatus)Sarah K Woodley
Department of Biology, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85281 1501, USA
Gen Comp Endocrinol 128:143-8. 2002..In addition, within vitellogenic females, CORT was positively correlated with ovarian weight, suggesting that CORT may function in some aspect of ovarian development during vitellogenesis...
Effect of tidal cycle and food intake on the baseline plasma corticosterone rhythm in intertidally foraging marine iguanasSarah K Woodley
Department of Biology, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85281, USA
Gen Comp Endocrinol 132:216-22. 2003..Together, these data suggest that the baseline B rhythm in marine iguanas is influenced by the tidal cycle/food intake as well as the light:dark cycle...
Effects of sex hormones and gender on attraction thresholds for volatile anal scent gland odors in ferretsSarah K Woodley
Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA
Horm Behav 44:110-8. 2003..These data suggest that ferrets could use anal scent gland secretions in mate recognition and that seasonal increases in circulating sex steroid hormones increase ferrets' responsiveness to low concentrations of these odors...
Sex difference in the distribution and size of glomeruli in the ferret's main olfactory bulbPatricia Waters
Department of Biology, Boston University, 5 Cummington St, Boston, MA 02215, USA
Neurosci Lett 381:237-41. 2005..This functional sex difference was inversely correlated with the present observation that glomerular density, number and area were greater in the caudal MOB of male than female ferrets...
Differential activation of glomeruli in the ferret's main olfactory bulb by anal scent gland odours from males and females: an early step in mate identificationSarah K Woodley
Department of Biology, Boston University, 5 Cummington St, Boston, MA 02215, USA
Eur J Neurosci 20:1025-32. 2004..In ferrets of both sexes, volatile body odourants that are detected by the main as opposed to the vomeronasal-AOB accessory olfactory system may play a critical role in mate identification...
Effects of androgens on behavioral and vomeronasal responses to chemosensory cues in male terrestrial salamanders (Plethodon shermani)Stephanie N Schubert
Department of Biological Sciences, Duquesne University, 600 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, USA
Horm Behav 50:469-76. 2006..Future studies will determine whether androgens potentially modulate responsiveness of the VNO to female-derived (as opposed to male-derived) chemosensory cues...
Sex steroid hormones and sexual dimorphism of chemosensory structures in a terrestrial salamander (Plethodon shermani)Sarah K Woodley
Department of Biological Sciences, Duquesne University, 600 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15282, USA
Brain Res 1138:95-103. 2007..Future studies will examine the functional consequences of this structural sexual dimorphism in a peripheral sensory organ, the VNO...
The reproductive pattern of male dusky salamanders (genus Desmognathus) is neither associated nor dissociatedStacey L Benner
Department of Biological Sciences, Duquesne University, 600 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15282, USA
Horm Behav 51:542-7. 2007..ochrophaeus. We discuss the limitations of the associated-dissociated framework in clarifying hormone-behavior relationships in reptiles and amphibians...
The effects of sex on chemosensory communication in a terrestrial salamander (Plethodon shermani)Stephanie N Schubert
Department of Biological Sciences, Duquesne University, 600 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15282, USA
Horm Behav 54:270-7. 2008..Future studies will determine whether the male VNO is specialized to detect a subset of chemosensory cues, such as female body rinses or female scent marks...
