SEASONAL DIFFERENCES OF CORTICOSTERONE METABOLITE CONCENTRATIONS AND PARASITE BURDEN IN NORTHERN BALD IBIS (GERONTICUS EREMITA): THE ROLE OF AFFILIATIVE INTERACTIONS.

Seasonal differences of corticosterone metabolite concentrations and parasite burden in northern bald ibis (Geronticus eremita): The role of affiliative interactions.

The reproductive season is energetically costly as revealed by elevated glucocorticoid concentrations, constrained immune functions and an increased risk of infections.Social allies and affiliative interactions may buffer physiological stress responses and thereby alleviate associated effects.In the present study, we investigated the seasonal diffe

C. elegans CLASP/CLS-2 negatively regulates membrane ingression throughout the oocyte cortex and is required for polar body extrusion.

The requirements for oocyte meiotic cytokinesis during polar body extrusion are not well understood.In particular, the relationship between the oocyte meiotic spindle and polar body contractile ring dynamics remains Trims largely unknown.We have used live cell imaging and spindle assembly defective mutants lacking the function of CLASP/CLS-2, kines
