Semen cryopreservation in black-footed (Spheniscus demersus) and gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) penguins: Effects of thawing temperature on semen characteristics
2019, Animal Reproduction ScienceCitation Excerpt :There have been few reports on the use of assisted reproductive technologies in penguins, but there have been acceptable results for semen collection (in the rockhopper penguin Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome [Waldoch et al., 2007]), semen chilling, semen freezing (in the Magellanic penguin Spheniscus magellanicus [O’Brien et al., 1999]) and artificial insemination [in the rockhopper penguin, Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome (Waldoch et al., 2012)]. The likely challenges in penguin semen management and cryopreservation include breeding seasonality (Groscolas et al., 1986; Mauget et al., 1994), individual responses to the semen collection technique, urate contamination, and the presence of immature sperm cells (O’Brien et al., 1999). The cooling rate (Santiago-Moreno et al., 2011), semen packaging type (e.g., straws or pellets) (Tselutin et al., 1999), cryoprotectant used, and freezing temperature (Abouelezz et al., 2015), however, all need to be taken into account when optimising freezing-thawing protocols for any bird species.
The different breeding strategies of penguins: A review
2013, Comptes Rendus - BiologiesCitation Excerpt :Indeed, the emperor penguin is one of the few birds for which gonadal growth is coincident with short days, when birds are still at sea. Gonadal steroids are several fold above basal level at the time of arrival on the breeding area suggesting that environmental cues, especially decreasing daylength, decreasing air temperature, and sea-ice formation, stimulate gonadal development and reproduction [1]. Before breeding, emperor penguins forage far away from their breeding grounds [109,114,115].
Environmental influences on Adelie penguin breeding schedules, endocrinology, and chick survival
2011, General and Comparative EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Indeed, the pattern of incubation duties in Fiordland crested penguins is similar to Adelie penguins [20]; females take the first foraging trip, unlike all other eudyptid species [59], so similar endocrine profiles may be expected. No rise in oestrogens was found during late incubation by McQueen et al. [34] in Adelie penguins, or by McQueen et al. [33] in Fiordland crested penguins, suggesting the regression of ovaries after clutch establishment [26,33]. The fact that increases in both oestrogens and testosterone from the guard stage to the pre-crèche stage occurred at both colonies in this study, suggests that Adelie penguins may still be capable of secreting gonadal hormones late in the breeding season.
