Postcopulatory sexual selection (PCSS), comprised of sperm competition and cryptic female
choice, has emerged as a widespread evolutionary force among polyandrous animals …

Methods of transcriptional profiling have made it possible to compare gene expression
between females and males on a genome-wide scale. Such studies have revealed that sex …

Sexually dimorphic traits are common among mammals and are specified during
development through the deployment of sex-specific genetic programs. Because little is …

Sex differences in complex traits are suspected to be in part due to widespread gene-by-sex
interactions (GxSex), but empirical evidence has been elusive. Here, we infer the mixture of …

A substantial amount of phenotypic diversity results from changes in gene expression levels
and patterns. Understanding how the transcriptome evolves is therefore a key priority in …

Evolutionary genomic studies find that reproductive protein genes, those directly involved in
reproductive processes, diversify more rapidly than most other gene categories. Strong …

Motivation Linkage disequilibrium (LD) measures the correlation between genetic loci and is
highly informative for association mapping and population genetics. As many studies rely on …

The profound differences in gene expression between the sexes are increasingly used to
study the molecular basis of sexual dimorphism, sexual selection and sexual conflict …

Sexual conflict occurs when selection acts in opposing directions on males and females.
Case studies in both vertebrates and invertebrates indicate that sexual conflict maintains …

Fully updated, the second edition of Neuropsychology of Art offers a fascinating exploration
of the brain regions and neuronal systems which support artistic creativity, talent and …
