Topics will be presented from molecular, cellular, and tissue perspectives and will span development, puberty, adulthood, and reproductive senescence. We will also consider perturbations to the female ...

and reproductive senescence. We are particularly interested in the function of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and the developmental regulation of neurons that produce GnRH, since developmental ...

It is widely recognized that as males age, their fertility typically declines (a phenomenon known as reproductive senescence), often due to a reduction in the quantity and/or quality of sperm in ...

inhibit the accumulation of vitellogenin in the germline, improve the quality of oocytes, and delay the reproductive aging of C. elegans.

and food availability significantly influence survival and reproductive timing. A recent study published in the Journal of Animal Ecology investigated how maternal affect senescence, which is the ...

In this context I have worked on trade-offs concerning reproductive effort and sexual signalling. To increase reproductive effort, I used various experimental manipulations in three-spined stickleback ...
