Fundulus grandis Response to Exogenous LH Injection.
… mammalian gonadotropin injection was assessed in Fundulus grandis, the Gulf killifish. Responsiveness was measured through the reproductive parameters of plasma sex steriod levels (estrogen for the female and testosterone for the male animals) as well as gonadalsomatic indexes, GSI. Females were …

The Role of Polyamines in Osmotic Stress Tolerance in Gulf Killifish Fundulus Grandis
… polyamines in the gills of the Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) during hypoosmotic challenge. In addition, the influence of irreversible inhibition of Odc by alpha-DL-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) was assessed in the gills. Furthermore, the transcription and enzymatic activities of Arg, Odc …

Patterns of protein expression in tissues of the killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus and Fundulus grandis
<p>Fundulus is a diverse and widespread genus of small teleost fish of North America. Due to its high tolerance for physiochemical variation (e.g. temperature, oxygen, salinity), Fundulus is a model organism to study physiological and molecular adaptations to environmental stress. The thesis …

The Agonistic and Reproductive Behaviors of the Gulf Killifish, Fundulus grandis and Their Physiological Components.
The behavioral repertoire of Fundulus grandis includes 32 acts, 5 of which are found only in the male. The acts are described and categorized by function.Male-male and male-female pairs were observed for agonistic and reproductive behaviors, diel rhythms of behavior, endogenous hormone levels …

Assessing the Live Bait Industry and the Ecological Status of Invasive Cyprinodontiformes (Sheepshead minnow: Cyprinodon variegatus and Gulf killifish: Fundulus grandis) in Texas Streams
… variegatus</em>) and the gulf killifish (<em>F. grandis</em>). Both species were thought to have been introduced into inland Texas waters via bait-bucket releases and have caused native populations of their inland congeners to decline. While I did not find evidence that either species were being …

Development of a novel electron-transfer secondary reaction matrix, characterization of the site–specificity of novel bilin-lyase, and Fundulus grandis protein expression investigation using mass spectrometry
… D-ring attachment of bilins, and <em>F.</em> <em>grandis </em>protein expression pattern was investigated in several tissues. All obtained results were acquired using a MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometer. The sensitivity, mass accuracy, mass resolution and the ability to perform collision induced …

The effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors on the stress response and tissue-level response in teleost fish
… oil spill on populations of Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) in oil-impacted areas in Louisiana, compared to reference sites in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. We show evidence of exposure to crude oil coincident with contamination from the Deepwater horizon oil spill in field-collected …

Phototoxic target lipid model for predicting the toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and petroleum to aquatic life
… beryllina, A. bahia, Cyprinodon variegatus, and Fundulus grandis using natural or simulated solar radiation. For cases in which no phototoxicity was observed, the PTLM predictions are correct in over 70% of the cases (10 out of 14 predictions). When toxicity was observed the RMSE = 0.321.
