Characterization and distribution of kisspeptins, kisspeptin receptors, GnIH, and GnRH1 in the brain of the protogynous bluehead wrasse (Thalassoma bifasciatum)
JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL NEUROANATOMY, 121.
author keywords: Kisspeptin; GnRH; GnIH; Teleost; Reproduction; Sex change
MeSH headings : Animals; Brain / metabolism; Female; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / metabolism; Gonadotropins / metabolism; Kisspeptins / genetics; Kisspeptins / metabolism; Male; Perciformes / metabolism
TL;DR:
This study characterized expression of kisspeptin-system genes (kiss1, kiss2, kissr1, and kissr2), gnih, and gnrh1 in the brain of the bluehead wrasse, an important teleost model of socially-controlled sex change and suggested that if kisspeptins do signal GnRH1 neurons, the interaction is indirect, possibly through neurons adjacent to Gn RH1.

Estrogenic signaling and sociosexual behavior in wild sex-changing bluehead wrasses, Thalassoma bifasciatum
Prim, J. H., Phillips, M. C., Lamm, M. S., Brady, J., Cabral, I., Durden, S., … Godwin, J. (2021, November 9). JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY PART A-ECOLOGICAL AND INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY, Vol. 11.
author keywords: aromatase; estrogen; estrogen receptor; sex change; sociosexual behavior
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Fishes; Gonads; Male; Perciformes; Sex Determination Processes; Sex Differentiation
TL;DR:
Variation in estrogenic signaling across three sexual phenotypes is examined, suggesting alterations in neural estrogen signaling are key regulators of socially-controlled sex change and sexual phenotype differences and the possibility that an inverted-U shaped relationship between neural estrogen and male-typical behaviors is more common than presently appreciated.

author keywords: Brachylagus idalioensis; Cortisol; Hormones; Pregnancy; Progesterone; Pygmy rabbit; Reproduction
MeSH headings : Adrenal Glands / metabolism; Animals; Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Feces / chemistry; Female; Gonads / metabolism; Immunoenzyme Techniques; Male; Pregnancy; Rabbits; Seasons; Steroids / metabolism
TL;DR:
The spike in progestagens 1 day after mating was a significant discovery for this species and appears to provide a reliable means of determining if a successful mating has occurred, suggesting a possible link between heightened adrenal activity and lowered reproductive fitness in pygmy rabbits.

MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal; Brain / drug effects; Female; In Situ Hybridization; Lizards; Male; RNA, Messenger / biosynthesis; Receptors, Estrogen / physiology; Receptors, Progesterone / physiology; Sex Characteristics; Sex Factors; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR:
Sex differences in the regulation of steroid hormone receptors in brain areas controlling female- and male-typical sexual behavior may be important in determining sex Differences in the display of these behaviors.

Behavioural aspects of protandrous sex change in the anemonefish, Amphiprion melanopus, and endocrine correlates
Animal Behaviour, 48(3), 551–567.
TL;DR:
Overall aggression increased and the ratio of attacks at the periphery of the territory to those at the centre increased with time after female removal, and there was no convincing evidence of a relationship between plasma levels of the five steroids measured and male/female behavioural differences or (2) behavioural changes with sex change.

Historical aspects of protandrous sex change in the anemonefishAmphiprion melanopus(Pomacentridae, Teleostei)
Journal of Zoology, 232(2), 199–213.
TL;DR:
Gonadal structure and cellular composition were examined in juveniles, males and females of the protandric hermaphrodite, Amphiprion melanopus and significant variation between individuals was seen in quantitative measures of gonadal change in the early stages of sex change, but not in later stages.

Sex Change and Steroid Profiles in the Protandrous Anemonefish Amphiprion melanopus (Pomacentridae, Teleostei)
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 91(2), 144–157.
MeSH headings : Androstenedione / blood; Animals; Estradiol / blood; Female; Fishes / blood; Gonadal Steroid Hormones / blood; Hermaphroditic Organisms; Hydrocortisone / blood; Male; Sex Determination Processes; Testosterone / analogs & derivatives; Testosterone / blood
TL;DR:
The results support hypothesized roles for androgens in male function and E2 in female function in A. melanopus, however, E2 increases lagged behind oogonial proliferation, arguing against an influence of this steroid in the initiation of female function.
