Mammalian Reproduction
• More advanced than any other class of vertebrates
• Except monotremes, young remain in uterus during embryonic and fetal life
• Under most conditions, high survival rates of fetuses
![Page 3: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
and…• After birth, young nourished with milk
• Parental care until reasonably capable of taking care of one’s self
…compare to arthropods, fish, reptiles, etc.
RESULT High survival of fetuses and extended post-partum care is an _________ in efficiency of reproduction in terms of energy expenditure per young that reaches _____________________________

Themes
• Timing of reproduction • Reproductive cycles• Physiological changes• Productivity relative to energy
investment• Environmental influences on reproduction
![Page 10: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ovarian Cycle
• Growth of follicle and release of ovum• Development of corpus luteum (CL) which
results in production of progesterone
Follicle growth and development of CL both under control of pituitary & ovarian
hormones
![Page 11: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Estrous Cycle - Key Hormones
• FSH - produced by pituitary • LH - produced by pituitary
*FSH & LH stimulate follicle & estrogen production
• PROGESTERONE - produced by CL• ESTROGEN - produced by ovary
![Page 12: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• GnRH (HT)• FSH (AP)• LH (AP)• ESTROGEN (OV)• PROGESTERONE
(OV)
HT =hypothalamus
AP = anterior pituitary
OV = ovary (oocyte folliclecorpus luteum

Four Phases of Estrous Cycle
DIESTRUS - lowest hormone levelsPROESTRUS - “pre-heat”ESTRUS (without an “___” )- heat
a) highest hormone levelsb) ovulationc) LH “spikes”
METESTRUS - progesterone peaks

Estrous Cycle - more key points
• PRE-OVULATIONa) follicle growthb) endometrial growth (gets readyuterus ready for anticipated
“fertilized” embryo• POST-OVULATION
a) after “heat,” after release of ovumb) corpus luteum (CL) kicks in &
helps maintain pregnancy…otherwise it regresses….
![Page 19: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
...more key points
• POST-OVULATIONc) when CL regresses (if no implantation) it
shrinks and is essentially “finished”…only one estrous cycle per follicle d) if pregnancy goes full-term (or nearly full- term, CL will remain “enlarged” (but not producing progesterone) well past partuition…useful for fertility est.

Copulation
• Internal fertilization (important adaptation for reproduction for terrestrial species)
• Sperm reaches oviduct, usually within minutes• Fertilization occurs “sometime”• Zygotes (then embryos) move down oviducts by
contractions of oviducts until it reaches uterus
![Page 21: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Post-copulation
• Embryo “implants” (i.e., attaches) in uterine wall in the ENDOMETRIUM
• Delayed fertilizationvs.
Delayed implantation

Few notes about the Placenta
• Not unique to mammals…certain fishes & a few reptiles have similar structures
• the “connecting structure” between the fetus and the uterus
• Functionally, serves asa) nutritional, respiratory, and
excretory interchangeb) barrier to bacteriac) produces some _______________
![Page 23: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pre-partum
• Key hormone: ________ --its levels increase at the end of pregnancy, causes relaxation of the pelvic ligaments and public symphysis (in pocket gophers [Geomyidae], connective tissue is resorbed at puberty so relaxin not as “necessary”)
• Relaxin produced by uterus, placenta, or ovaries (varies by species)
![Page 24: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pre-partum…con’t
• Besides relaxin, __________ production increases at end of pregnancy: a) initiates contractions of uterus b) promotes milk “letdown” post-partum
• Produced by hypothalamus, stored in pituitary
• Production blocked by progesterone during pregnancy
![Page 25: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Partuition• = birthing process
• Highest levels of relaxin and oxytocin --oxytocin promotes further contraction of uterus after placenta expelled…collaspe reduces bleeding
• Increased () levels of estrogen
• Decreased () levels of progesterone
![Page 26: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Post-partum• = time after “birth” of young
• Hormone PROLACTIN, produced bypituitary stimulates mammary glanddevelopment and milk secretion (initially)
• Milk production under neural controlthereafter
![Page 27: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Typical Fertilization Most mammal species exhibit “typical”
fertilization pattern
• Egg fertilized shortly after copulation (i.e., in the presence of sperm in oviduct)
• Embryo implants shortly after fertilization
![Page 28: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Delayed Fertilization
• Copulation occurs but fertilization delayed for months
• Typical among bats
• NOTE: male & female reproductive status ___ _________; viable sperm remain in male long after spermatogenesis; female does not ovulate until long after insemination
![Page 29: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Delayed Implantation
• Fertilization occurs shortly after inseminationand some changes in blastocyst occur but…
• Implantation does not take place for 12 days up to 11 months (varies by species)
• Some bats, mustelids, some insectivores, some rodents
![Page 30: Mammals – Part IV VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY (VZ Lecture32 – Spring 2012 Althoff - reference PJH Chapter 21) Bill Horn Reproduction Direct vs. indirect evidence](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e665503460f94b614c9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Advantages of VARIATION
• Not at all well understood, but reasonably a …• Response to changing climate
(i.e. seasonal variation)• Response to nutritional status &/or food
availability• Response to potential “over-winter” loss of
healthy males

Growth of Young
• For some species, growth & development is rapidex. least shrew doubles weight in 4 daysex. evening bat doubles weight in 18 days
• Impacted by amount of time…a) suckling (i.e each day)b) quality of milk
ex. pinnipeds have high fat %
