“…Seasonally dependent variations in the weight of the testes (0.9-2.9 g) and diameter of the seminiferous tubules (113-222 pm) found in the present study are in agreement with earlier reports [Audy, 1976]. According to Walton [1976] the weight of the testes of the polecat (Mustela putorius) varies from 0.5 to 2.0 g, the diameter of the tubules ranges from 84 to 197 pm.…”

Effects of surgical castration of 60-day-old male ferrets are compared with the effects of a chemical castration with cyproterone acetate from postnatal day 60 until 360. Investigations were made on mating behavior, intermale aggression, testicular morphology, plasma testosterone level and body temperature. While controls show seasonal variations in all parameters, according to the annual cycle of sexual activity and inactivity, both, surgically and chemically castrated ferrets show throughout the year constant parameters similar to that of controls during the sexual inactive period. All investigated effects of a long-term treatment with cyproterone acetate are fully reversible within 2 years after termination of drug administration.

“…The maxima of ponderal variation of testes was reached between June and August (Schmidt 1943, Canivenc et al 1968, Danilov and Tumanov 1972, Audy 1976a and could be influenced by the photoperiod in correlation with the secretion of melatonin (Audy 1976b, Almeida andLincoln 1984). The stone marten had delayed implantation of blastocytes and the nidation was under the influence of the photoperiod through the medium of hypothalamus (Canivene et al 1968, Canivene 1970, Canivene et al 1981, Mead and Wright 1983.…”

Conspecific recognition and mating in stone marten Martes foina

Conspecific recognition and mating in stone marten Martes foinaThierry LODE Lodé T. 1991. Conspecific recognition and mating in stone marten Martes foina. Acta theriol. 36: 275 -283.The study of the mating of the stone marten Martes foina (Erxleben, 1777) revealed the importance of behavioural modifications which favour the intraspecific tolerance. The precopulatory activities affected the whole mode of communication. The frequencies of the male's olfactory investigation of the female's anogenital region and the male's abdominal scent marking increased at this time. Other signals like a particular muted vocalization, the cluck, or those which interested the general sensitivity like body contact facilitated the female's receptivity and the synchronization of behaviours. The male kept on the female with a neck bite which was similar to the newborn transport behaviour of the female. The male's obstinacy to obtain a positive response from the female seemed to determine successful mating.
