Sex differences in interacting genetic and functional connectivity biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease
As of 2023, it is estimated that 6.7 million individuals in the United States live with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Prior research indicates that AD disproportionality affects females; females have a greater inc...

Sympatric sexual signal divergence among North American Calopteryx damselflies is correlated with increased intra- and interspecific male–male aggression
Divergence of sexual signals in sympatry can arise as a consequence of (1) interspecific competition for resources, (2) selection against maladaptive hybridization, or (3) as a result of selection to reduce th...

Genes versus phenotypes in the study of speciation
Despite persistent debate on the nature of species, the widespread adoption of Mayr’s biological species concept has led to a heavy emphasis on the importance of reproductive isolation to the speciation proces...

Identification and Characterization of Cuticular Hydrocarbons from a Rapid Species Radiation of Hawaiian Swordtailed Crickets (Gryllidae: Trigonidiinae: Laupala)
A previous investigation of cuticular hydrocarbon variation among Hawaiian swordtail crickets (genus Laupala) revealed that these species differ dramatically in composition of cuticular lipids. Cuticular lipid ex...

Open AccessA cricket Gene Index: a genomic resource for studying neurobiology, speciation, and molecular evolution
As the developmental costs of genomic tools decline, genomic approaches to non-model systems are becoming more feasible. Many of these systems may lack advanced genetic tools but are extremely valuable models ...
