AbstractDevelopmental changes in parameters of ultrasound production were investigated in M. montanus young. The rate of ultrasonic vocalization reached a peak on Day 2 of postnatal ontogeny and declined to zero on Day 15. A similar developmental pattern has been found in several other rodent species. However, the comparatively early peak rate is indicative of a degree of ontogenic precociousness. Other developmental changes, both behavioural and morphological, tend to confirm that M. montanus young are relatively precocious. The duration of ultrasonic vocalizations did not show a significant change across early development. The mean duration for each vocalization sampled was 22.92 msec. The distribution of these vocalizations showed that a considerable number of vocalizations were of very short duration (<30 msec). The developmental changes in the percentage of young emitting ultrasounds began to decline following Day 8 and reached zero percent on Day 15. This decline in the percentage of young vocalizing corresponded to changes in maternal behaviour. Both the rate of ultrasonic vocalization and the percentage of young vocalizing were significantly correlated with the age of the young. Being correlated with age, these parameters of ultrasound production have the possibility of having great communicative value for the purposes of maternal care.

Understanding how development changes the genetic covariance of complex phenotypes is fundamental for the study of evolution. If the genetic covariance changes dramatically during postnatal ontogeny, one cannot infer confidently evolutionary responses based on the genetic covariance estimated from a single postnatal ontogenetic stage. Mammalian skull morphology is a common model system for studying the evolution of complex structures. These studies often involve estimating covariance between traits based on adult individuals. There is robust evidence that covariances changes during ontogeny. However, it is unknown whether differences in age-specific covariances can, in fact, bias evolutionary analyses made at subadult ages. To explore this issue, we sampled two marsupials from the order Didelphimorphia, and one precocial and one altricial placental at different stages of postnatal ontogeny. We calculated the phenotypic variance-covariance matrix (P-matrix) for each genus at these postnatal ontogenetic stages. Then, we compared within genus P-matrices and also P-matrices with available congeneric additive genetic variance-covariance matrices (G-matrices) using Random Skewers and the Krzanowsky projection methods. Our results show that the structural similarity between matrices is in general high (> 0.7). Our study supports that the G-matrix in therian mammals is conserved during most of the postnatal ontogeny. Thus it is feasible to study life-history changes and evolutionary responses based on the covariance estimated from a single ontogenetic stage. Our results also suggest that at least for some marsupials the G-matrix varies considerably prior to weaning, which does not invalidate our previous conclusion because specimens at this stage would experience striking differences in selective regimes than during later ontogenetic stages.

Введение. Существуют ряд физиологических, экспериментальных и патологических условий, которые могут индуцировать изменения в размере, морфологии, местоположении и количестве ядрышек в соответствии с функциональной и метаболической активностью. Одним из таких условий является постнатальное развитие клеток, в том числе и нейронов. Цель - изучение особенностей структурно-функционального становления ядрышек гистаминергических нейронов мозга крысы в постнатальном онтогенезе. Материал и методы. Работа выполнена на беспородных белых крысах (12 особей) в возрасте 5, 20 и 45 сут постнатального онтогенеза. Изучали число и размеры ядрышек в ядрах гистаминергических нейронов в ядре E2 задней гипоталамической области мозга крыс с применением электронно-микроскопических и морфометрических методик, а также - непараметрической статистики. Результаты. У крыс от 5 до 45 сут постнатального развития уменьшается число и увеличиваются размеры ядрышек в ядре гистаминергических нейронов задней области гипоталамуса, а также происходит перемещение ядрышек от кариолеммы к центру ядра. По мере взросления животных в гистаминергических нейронах происходит постепенное преобразование относительно компактных ядрышек в ретикулярные, при этом увеличивается количество фибриллярного и гранулярного компонентов, а также возрастает число и уменьшаются размеры фибриллярных центров. Кроме того, наблюдается уменьшение облака мигрирующих субъединиц рибосом между ядрышком и кариолеммой, а также количества ассоциированного с ядрышком гетерохроматина. Выводы. В ядре E2 гипоталамуса крыс в возрасте от 5 до 45 сут постнатального онтогенеза значительно изменяются число, размеры, строение и топография ядрышек в ядрах гистаминергических нейронов. Introduction. There are a number of physiological, experimental, and pathological conditions that can induce changes in the size, morphology, location, and number of nucleoli in accordance with functional and metabolic activity. One of these conditions is the postnatal maturation of cells, including neurons. Objective - to assess the characteristics of structural and functional formation of histaminergic neurons nucleoli in rat brain during postnatal ontogeny. Material and methods. The work was performed on the offspring of outbred white rats (12 rats) on the 5th, 20th and 45th days of postnatal ontogenesis. Electron microscopic, morphometric and statistical methods were used to study the number and quantity of nucleoli in the nuclei of histaminergic neurons located in the E2 nucleus of posterior hypothalamic region of rat brain. Results. From the 5th to the 45th day of the rat postnatal development, there was a decrease in the number and increase in the size of the nucleoli in the nuclei of histaminergic neurons located in the posterior hypothalamic region, as well as their movement from the karyolemma to the center of the nucleus. As animals growed up, relatively compact nucleoli in the brain histaminergic neurons gradually transformed into reticular nucleoli, while the quantity of fibrillar and granular components increased, at the same time the quantity of fibrillar centers increased and the size of fibrillar centers decreased. In addition, we detected a decrease in the cloud of migrating ribosome subunits between the nucleolus and karyolemma and in the amount of heterochromatin associated with the nucleolus. Conclusions. From the 5th to the 45th day of the postnatal development, the number, size, structure and topography of the nucleoli of the rat brain histaminergic neurons located in the E2 hypothalamic nucleus in postnatal ontogenesis changed significantly.
