While the functions of SFPs have received substantial interest2, much of this work has focused on a few lab-adapted or domestic study organisms. Information on SFPs is particularly patchy in birds, despite the importance of this group to the study of sexual selection. Information on avian SFPs...
Therefore, the season when mating occurred could impact responses to nutrition and hence onset of puberty; however, further work is needed to document this possibility. On the other hand, Romanov males have been reported to reach puberty as early as 3 months of age [56], which is close to...
Many of the contributions to science cited here became an inherent part of textbooks and common knowledge so that the original work is usually not referred to and access to this information is difficult. The following Internet pages give access to much more information on the history of ...
PS, SAR, RJB, and JLH conceived the idea and gained funding for the study; SAR, PS and JLH designed the experiment; SAR carried out the experiment and analysed the phenotypic data. RJB guided all the molecular work; AJC carried out the proteomics analysis and DE, DEH, and PB analysed th...
