  5. 9. Role of 11-ketotestosterone and prolactin in the control of reproductive behaviour in the male three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus

    Författare :Miklós K. Páll; Rui Oliveira; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; reproductive behaviour; three-spined stickleback; Gasterosteus aculeatus;

    Sammanfattning : The male three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, builds a nest by glueing plant material together using an 11-ketotestosterone (11kT) induced protein (spiggin) secreted from the kidney. When females have been induced to lay eggs in the nest, male sexual (zigzag) behaviour decreases and parental care (fanning) increases. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Contraceptive counselling in abortion care
