摘要
Grass puffers are fish that engage in mass spawning controlled by the phase of the moon. A new study shows that prostaglandins released by males and females fine tune these events. In addition, regulation of gnrh1 by a transcription factor expressed in a semilunar rhythm suggests a timing signal for the long-term coordination of gonadal maturation.
