Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

Aquaculture has made an enormous contribution to the world food production, especially to
the sustainable supply of animal proteins. The utility of diverse reproduction strategies in …

Sex chromosomes have evolved many times in animals and studying these replicate
evolutionary “experiments” can help broaden our understanding of the general forces …

Understanding sex differences in physiology and disease requires the identification of the
molecular agents that cause phenotypic sex differences. Two groups of such agents are …

Obesity is defined as the excessive accumulation of body fat and is associated with an
increased risk of developing major health problems such as cardiovascular disease …

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 …

Abstract Theory and empirical patterns suggest a disproportionate role for sex chromosomes
in evolution and speciation. Focusing on ZW sex determination (females ZW, males ZZ; the …

Background Stroke is a sexually dimorphic disease. Previous studies have found that young
females are protected against ischemia compared to males, partially due to the protective …

Genes with sex-biased expression show a number of unique properties and this has been
seen as evidence for conflicting selection pressures in males and females, forming a genetic …

Sexual selection drives rapid phenotypic diversification of mating traits. However, we know
little about the causative genes underlying divergence in sexually selected traits. Here, we …
