Variation of sexual dimorphism and asymmetry in disease expression of inflammatory arthritis among laboratory mouse models with different genomic backgrounds
Sex difference has shown in the arthritis diseases in human population and animal models. We investigate how the sex and symmetry vary among mouse...

The roles of sexual selection and sexual conflict in sha** patterns of genome and transcriptome variation
Sexual dimorphism is one of the most prevalent, and often the most extreme, examples of phenotypic variation within species, and arises primarily...

Sexual selection leads to positive allometry but not sexual dimorphism in the expression of horn shape in the blue wildebeest, Connochaetes taurinus
Sexual selection is thought to be an important driver of adaptation, speciation and extinction. Empirically testing these predictions across...

Selection drives convergent gene expression changes during transitions to co-sexuality in haploid sexual systems
Co-sexuality has evolved repeatedly from unisexual (dioicous) ancestors across a wide range of taxa. However, the molecular changes underpinning this...

Two sex pheromone receptors for sexual communication in the American cockroach
Volatile sex pheromones are vital for sexual communication between males and females. Females of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana ,...

Sexual Systems
Most shrimp species have separate sexes. However, approximately 90 caridean species show some form of protandric hermaphroditism. In protandry,...

Exploring ethylene-related genes in Cannabis sativa: implications for sexual plasticity
Key messagePresented here are model Yang cycle, ethylene biosynthesis and signaling pathways in Cannabis sativa . C. sativa floral transcriptomes...

Calmodulin, Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinases-1 and 2 Regulate Expression of the Heat Shock Proteins for Heat Shock Tolerance and Pheromone Signaling Genes for Sexual Development in Neurospora crassa
Calmodulin (CaM) is a primary Ca 2+ sensor that binds and activates numerous target proteins and regulates several cellular processes in eukaryotes....

Identification of IPT9 in Brachiaria brizantha (syn. Urochloa brizantha) and expression analyses during ovule development in sexual and apomictic plants
BackgroundIn Brachiaria sexual reproduction, during ovule development, a nucellar cell differentiates into a megaspore mother cell (MMC) that,...

Roles of estrogen receptors during sexual reversal in Pelodiscus sinensis
BackgroundThe Chinese soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis , exhibits distinct sexual dimorphism, with the males growing faster and larger than...

Defensive tolerance to parasitism is correlated with sexual selection in swallows
Parasite-mediated sexual selection has been the topic of extensive research and enthusiastic debate for more than three decades. Here, we suggest...

Sexual dimorphism in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus transcriptome
BackgroundIn gonochoristic animals, the sex determination pathway induces different morphological and behavioral features that can be observed...

Sexual horn dimorphism predicts the expression of active personality trait: males perform better only in the sexually horn dimorphic Onthophagus dung beetle
The potential sex-specific differences in animal personality traits (i.e., consistent inter-individual variation in observed behavior) are an active...

Sex determining systems of Drosophila control somatic sexual differentiation by cytoplasmic determinants and inductive signals: an insight from pattern development of aberrant sexual genotypes
In Drosophila melanogaster , sexual adaptation shapes the chromosomal level genome organization, by which an embryo with the X:A ratio 0.5 develop...

Chemical communication and its role in sexual selection across Animalia
Sexual selection has been studied as a major evolutionary driver of animal diversity for roughly 50 years. Much evidence indicates that competition...

ASF1 regulates asexual and sexual reproduction in Stemphylium eturmiunum by DJ-1 stimulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Most fungi display a mixed mating system with both asexual and sexual reproduction. The timing of the two modes of reproduction must be carefully...

The genomics and evolution of inter-sexual mimicry and female-limited polymorphisms in damselflies
Sex-limited morphs can provide profound insights into the evolution and genomic architecture of complex phenotypes. Inter-sexual mimicry is one...

Sexual dimorphism in chronic respiratory diseases
Sex differences in susceptibility, severity, and progression are prevalent for various diseases in multiple organ systems. This phenomenon is...

Transcriptome analysis of sexual dimorphism in dorsal down coloration in goslings
BackgroundIn day-old Hungarian white goose goslings, there is a noticeable difference in dorsal down coloration between males and females, with...

A single gene integrates sex and hormone regulators into sexual attractiveness
Sex differentiation and hormones are essential for the development of sexual signals in animals, and the regulation of sexual signals involves...
