Reproductive behavior
2022, Sturkie's Avian PhysiologyGonadotropin-inhibitory hormone as a regulator of social interactions in vertebrates
2022, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :This suggests that male quail initially recognize prospective mates by means of visual cues, such as head and neck color. In addition, quail are unique in that males exhibit a transient decline in circulating testosterone levels when viewing an adult female conspecific (Cornil et al., 2009; Delville et al., 1984). Tobari et al. (2014) exploited this finding to identify the neurochemical pathways involved in the male brain from visual perception of a female conspecific to a change in blood gonadotropin level.
Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH): A new key neurohormone controlling reproductive physiology and behavior
2021, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :There is variability in reproductive behavior and function, both within and between individuals. Delville et al. (1984) and Cornil et al. (2009) demonstrated that in male quail there is rapid decrease in plasma T levels, if there is a female bird nearby. On the basis of these impressive observations, Tsutsui’s group delineated the neurochemical mechanism by which social environment modifies reproductive function. (
Retinal and extra-retinal photoreceptor responses and reproductive performance of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) following exposure to different photoperiodic regime
2021, General and Comparative EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Japanese quail also exhibits scotosensitivity (gonadal suppression in short day) and Scotorefractoriness (refractoriness towards short day effect), (Chaturvedi et al., 1993; Sharp and Sterling, 1985; Follet et al., 1992; Srivastava et al., 2007; Banerjee and Chaturvedi, 2017, 2018). Another study of Deville et al. (1984) suggested that if juvenile quail is kept under short photoperiodic condition it remains sexually immature whereas when adult bird raised under long photoperiodic condition it remains sexually active unless transfer to relative short photoperiod. Perera and Follett (1992) reported that long photoperiod alters the reproductive phenomenon in many species by altering the secretion of GnRH and GnIH from the hypothalamus.
