AbstractFully grown oocytes of the frog (Rana pipiens) undergo cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation when treated with progesterone after the follicular envelopes have been removed. The mechanism of this maturation was investigated by injection of cytoplasm from progesterone‐treated oocytes at various stages of maturation into fully grown bu...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe larval shells of the marine bivalves Mercenaria mercenaria and Crassostrea gigas are investigated by polarized light microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman imaging spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Both species contain similar shell ultrastructures. We show that larval shells contain ...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractRepresentatives of 30 species of fish were examined for their content of LDH isozymes. One major isozyme system was found in all fish. In addition, two minor systems restricted to eyes and to gonads were found in many fish. Fish may be classified into four groups on the basis of their possession of one, two, three, or five major isozymes of LDH. The major i...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractThe secondary active Cl− secretion in seawater (SW) teleost fish gills and elasmobranch rectal gland involves basolateral Na+,K+‐ATPase and NKCC, apical membrane CFTR anion channels, and a paracellular Na+‐selective conductance. In freshwater (FW) teleost gill, the mechanism...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractA triple‐stain technique has been developed to score normal acrosome‐reacted human sperm in fixed smears. Live and dead sperm are first differentiated using the vital stain trypan blue. Sperm are then fixed in glutar‐aldehyde, dried onto slides, and the postacrosomal region and acrosome are differentiated using Bismark brown and Rose Bengal. Slides are exam...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractIn this short review of fish gill morphology we cover some basic gross anatomy as well as in some more detail the microscopic anatomy of the branchial epithelia from representatives of the major extant groups of fishes (Agnathans, Elasmobranchs, and Teleosts). The agnathan hagfishes have primitive gill pouches, while the lampreys have arch‐like gills simila...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractHalf of the 22 extant crocodilians show evidence of temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD). We examine evidence for TSD in 11 species by reviewing reports on five and presenting new data for six. The female‐male pattern (FM; females at low temperature, males at high temperature) attributed to Alligator mississippiensis and ...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractAmong reptiles that show temperature‐dependent sex determination, sex ratios vary across constant incubation temperatures in ways sufficiently predictable to allow classification into patterns. One common pattern shows low temperatures yielding only males and high temperatures yielding only females. Another common pattern has low as well as high temperature...... hiện toàn bộ
