The wide use of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has led to increasing concern about its
human health risks over the past decade. In vivo and in vitro studies are important and …

Most biomedical research is performed using a very limited number of “model” species. In
part, this has resulted from a combination of full genomes, manipulation of genes, and short …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

How environmental and physiological signals interact to influence neural circuits underlying
developmentally programmed social interactions such as male territorial aggression is …

Sexual fate is no longer seen as an irreversible deterministic switch set during early
embryonic development but as an ongoing battle for primacy between male and female …

Gonadal steroidogenesis is pivotal to synchronize various reproductive stages including
sexual development, growth and maturation. In all vertebrates including teleost …

As the substitute of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), further assessments about the
potential ecological safety and health risks of phosphorus-containing flame retardants …

Teleost fish exhibit remarkably diverse and plastic patterns of sexual development. One of
the most fascinating modes of plasticity is functional sex change, which is widespread in …

Social hierarchies emerge when animals compete for access to resources such as food,
mates or physical space. Wild and laboratory male mice have been shown to develop linear …

Animals constantly integrate external stimuli with their own internal physiological state to
make appropriate behavioural decisions. Little is known, however, about where in the brain …
