research Innervation Patterns of Harp Seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) Vibrissal Sensory Systems
Harp seals have different innervation patterns in their whiskers, with lateral whiskers having more axons than medial ones.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
