The pituitary prolactin levels were measured in the domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos) and in juvenile gulls from a mixed population of herring and lesser black-backed gulls. In the domestic duck the pituitary prolactin levels increased on the 2nd and 3rd days of maintenance on 0·3 m-NaCl, but by the 5th day they had fallen appreciably below the control levels. Maintenance of gulls with 0·3 m-NaCl produced no change in pituitary prolactin levels after 5 days, but a marked fall in prolaction levels when the birds were maintained on 0·7 m-NaCl for 5 days. This difference in response between the two species may be related to their degree of adaptation to a marine environment.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
