Male wing fanning by the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) produces a courtship song.
(2011)
We, herein, report evidence that wing fanning by the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) constitutes a courtship song. Complete removal of the forewings or only the distal half of them reduced ...
Breeding and parental behaviour in the glass frog Centrolene savagei (Anura: Centrolenidae)
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014)
We examine factors that influence male mating success in the glass frog Centrolene savagei; in addition, we describe courtship behaviour, oviposition and early parental behaviour. Fieldwork was conducted in the Colombian ...
Sexual differences in the toxicity of procaine in rats
(1961)
The toxicity of procaine has been found to be markedly different in the male and female albino rat. The convulsant dose-50 of procaine, injected intraperitoneally (i.p.), was significantly higher in the male rat. It decreased ...
Prenatal testosterone treatment alters LH and testosterone responsiveness to GnRH agonist in male sheep
(Society of Biology of Chile, 2007)
Although evidence is accumulating that prenatal testosterone (T) compromises reproductive function in the female, the effects of excess T in utero on the postnatal development of male reproductive function has not been ...
