Abstract: Animals living in temperate climates respond to environmental cues that signal current and future resource availability to ensure that energy resources are available to support reproduction. Siberian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) undergo robust gonadal regression in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2021.105099
Abstract: Many animals exhibit pronounced changes in physiology and behavior on a seasonal basis, and these adaptations have evolved to promote survival and reproductive success. While the neuroendocrine pathways mediating seasonal reproduction are well-studied, far less… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12846
Abstract: 1. Animals living in temperate climates are faced with the challenge of reproducing only when environmental conditions are suitable for offspring survival. Environmental cues signalling current and future energy availability (e.g., food availability and photoperiod… read more here.

Seasonal patterns of melatonin alter aggressive phenotypes of female Siberian hamsters

DOI: 10.1111/jne.12894
Abstract: Many animal species exhibit year‐round aggression, a behaviour that allows individuals to compete for limited resources in their environment (eg, food and mates). Interestingly, this high degree of territoriality persists during the non‐breeding season, despite… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0221517
Abstract: TLQP-21, a peptide encoded by the highly conserved vgf gene, is expressed in neuroendocrine cells and has been the most prominent VGF-derived peptide studied in relation to control of energy balance. The recent discovery that… read more here.
