Female genitalia have been largely neglected in studies of genital evolution, perhaps due to
the long‐standing belief that they are relatively invariable and therefore taxonomically and …

Given the pervasiveness of gene sharing in evolution and the extent of homology across the
tree of life, why is everything not homologous with everything else? The continuity and …

The definition of homology and its application to reproductive structures, external genitalia,
and the physiology of sexual pleasure has a tortuous history. While nowadays there is a …

Copulatory behaviours stand as cornerstones of sexual selection, yet they remain
mysterious in many species. Because of their nocturnal and elusive lifestyle, the copulatory …

Despite their evolutionary and biomedical importance, studies of the morphology and
function of female genitalia have continued to lag behind those of male genitalia. While …

Simple Summary Sugar gliders are small marsupials that are becoming quite common as
pets. As patients, they are challenging for clinical veterinarians. References about exotic …

Animal genitalia are thought to evolve rapidly and divergently in response to sexual
selection. Studies of genital evolution have focused largely on male genitalia. The paucity of …

The male genitalia of insects are among the most variable, complex, and informative
character systems for evolutionary analysis and taxonomic purposes. Because of these …

The baubellum (os clitoridis) is a bone found in the clitoris of many female eutherian
mammals and is homologous to the baculum in males. In contrast to the baculum, the …
