DOI: 10.1007/s10071-018-1212-0
Abstract: The use of conspecific cues as social information in decision making is widespread among animals; but, because this social information is indirect, it is error-prone. During resource acquisition, conspecific cues also indicate the presence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.acthis.2018.11.004
Abstract: The mud crab, Scylla olivacea, is a high value economic marine animal in Thailand. However, collection of these crabs from natural habitat for local consumption and export has caused rapid population decline. Hence, aquaculture of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2017.03.071
Abstract: Although many studies have investigated organohalogenated contaminants (OHCs) in yolk, little is known about the mechanisms and timing of transfer of OHCs from the female to the egg. Vitellogenin, a yolk precursor, has been suggested… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110518
Abstract: Understanding of the drivers and effects of exposure to contaminants such as mercury (Hg) and organochlorine compounds (OCs) in Antarctic wildlife is still limited. Yet, Hg and OCs have known physiological and fitness effects in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2021.101110
Abstract: Egg-laying performance is one of the most important economic traits in the poultry industry. Commercial layers can lay one egg almost every day during their peak-laying period. However, many Chinese indigenous chicken breeds show a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/jpa.2019.30
Abstract: Abstract. Although the order Odonata has a rich fossil record, many questions about its reproductive biology remain unanswered. There are two strategies of egg laying among odonates, exophytic and endophytic, the latter being one of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2055-9
Abstract: Mating and egg laying are tightly cooordinated events in the reproductive life of all oviparous females. Oviposition is typically rare in virgin females but is initiated after copulation. Here we identify the neural circuitry that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2110158119
Abstract: Significance Sweet taste neurons in both Drosophila and mice are often thought to be hardwired to promote appetitive responses and signal the presence of reward. Here, exploiting Drosophila females’ robust rejection of sucrose substrates over… read more here.
