• The artistic three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteous aculeatus) (2003, background): “During the breeding season male sticklebacks produce this glycoprotein in kidney cells that become transformed, and extrude it from the cloaca (Hentschel 1977, 1979; De Ruiter and Mein 1982; Jakobsson et al. 1999).”
• Olfactory mate recognition in a sympatric species pair of three-spined sticklebacks (2006, background): “Because males glue their nests together with an adhesive protein called spiggin that they secrete from their kidneys (Jakobsson et al. 1999; Jones et al. 2001), odor may be particularly important when females inspect nests, one of the final phases of courtship and mate choice.”
