摘要: Amargosa pupfish (Cyprinodon nevadensis amargosae) occupy remote desert habitats that vary widely in environmental conditions from day to night. In this study, diel patterns of behavior were documented for their natural habitat, and examined relative changes the abundance mRNAs encoding prepro-arginine vasotocin (pro-VT), prepro-isotocin (pro-IT), three distinct receptors (V1a1, V1a2, V2), an isotocin receptor (ITR) brain. The wild varied diurnally, with frequent aggression 12:00 15:00 h courtship spawning most common between 19:00 h. Transcript pro-VT brain also changed diurnally mRNA levels highest at night when least active. Transcripts VT IT receptors, however, exhibited patterns, V1a2 transcripts showing sex-specific diurnal changes, but V2 ITR varying similarly males females. V1a1 pro-IT transcript constant over day–night both sexes. These results document variation V2, brain, provide evidence regulation differs
