Anat Rec (Hoboken) 292:1670-6. 2009..Through the techniques described here, we have identified a series of distinct markers to be used by pathologists, veterinarians, and researchers to easily identify alligator nephron segments. Anat Rec, 2009. (c) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc...
Altered gonadal expression of TGF-β superfamily signaling factors in environmental contaminant-exposed juvenile alligatorsBrandon C Moore
Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611 8525, USA
J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 127:58-63. 2011..Our study suggests that embryonic exposure to environmental contaminants can affect future non-steroidal signaling patterns in the gonads of a long-lived species...
Gonadotropin-induced changes in oviducal mRNA expression levels of sex steroid hormone receptors and activin-related signaling factors in the alligatorBrandon C Moore
Department of Biology, 220 Bartram Hall, P O Box 118525, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611 8525, USA
Gen Comp Endocrinol 175:251-8. 2012..These results demonstrate that five-month-old female alligators display an endocrine-responsive ovarian-oviducal axis and environmental pollution exposure may alter these physiological responses...
Gene-environment interactions: the potential role of contaminants in somatic growth and the development of the reproductive system of the American alligatorBrandon C Moore
Department of Biology, 220 Bartram Hall, P O Box 118525, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611 8525, USA
Mol Cell Endocrinol 354:111-20. 2012..We posit that these differences predispose these animals to increased risks of disease and reproductive dysfunction at adulthood...
Posthatching development of Alligator mississippiensis ovary and testisBrandon C Moore
Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 8525, USA
J Morphol 271:580-95. 2010..Additionally, we predict the morphological maturation observed in these gonads is concomitant with increased endocrine activities...
Altered sex hormone concentrations and gonadal mRNA expression levels of activin signaling factors in hatchling alligators from a contaminated Florida lakeBrandon C Moore
Department of Biology, University of Florida, Bartram Hall, Gainesville, Florida, USA
J Exp Zool A Ecol Genet Physiol 313:218-30. 2010..In hatchling alligators, ovarian follicles have not yet formed; therefore, these endocrine differences are likely to affect subsequent ovarian development, including ovarian follicle assembly...
Influences of sex, incubation temperature, and environmental quality on gonadal estrogen and androgen receptor messenger RNA expression in juvenile American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis)Brandon C Moore
Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA
Biol Reprod 82:194-201. 2010..These findings demonstrate that the mRNA expression of receptors required for steroid hormone signaling are modified by exposure to environmental factors, including temperature and contaminants...

Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 295:328-37. 2012..These results better characterize the complexity of the alligator phallus and predict later reproductive functions during adulthood...
Reproductive dysgenesis in wildlife: a comparative viewThea M Edwards
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, 32611, USA
Int J Androl 29:109-21. 2006..These tissues can develop as either male or female and their ultimate direction depends on the environment in which they develop...
Increased posthatching mortality and loss of sexually dimorphic gene expression in alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) from a contaminated environmentMatthew R Milnes
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611, USA
Biol Reprod 78:932-8. 2008..Because these animals were raised under similar laboratory conditions, the differences are most likely of embryonic origin and organizational in nature...
Developmental morphology of the neonatal alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) ovaryBrandon C Moore
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 8525, USA
J Morphol 269:302-12. 2008..Diplotene oocytes are observed at hatching in chickens, but not until 3 months in alligators. Folliculogenesis is completed at 3 weeks in chickens whereas it is still progressing at 3 months in alligators...
