DOI: 10.1016/j.aaf.2019.05.003
Abstract: Abstract Tilapias are important aquaculture species. Male-biased sexual size dimorphism is very common and males are preferred for aquaculture in tilapia. However, the mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism remain to be elucidated. One hundred and thirty-six… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evab199
Abstract: Abstract The magnitude and functional patterns of intraspecific transcriptional variation in the anophelines, including those of sex-biased genes underlying sex-specific traits relevant for malaria transmission, remain understudied. As a result, how changes in expression levels… read more here.

Haploid and Sexual Selection Shape the Rate of Evolution of Genes across the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Genome

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evac063
Abstract: Abstract Many species have separate haploid and diploid phases. Theory predicts that each phase should experience the effects of evolutionary forces (like selection) differently. In the haploid phase, all fitness-affecting alleles are exposed to selection,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evx029
Abstract: Sexually dimorphic phenotypes arise largely from sex-specific gene expression, which has mainly been characterized in sexually naïve adults. However, we expect sexual dimorphism in transcription to be dynamic and dependent on factors such as reproductive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14015
Abstract: Sex‐dependent gene expression is likely an important genomic mechanism that allows sex‐specific adaptation to environmental changes. Among Drosophila species, sex‐biased genes display remarkably consistent evolutionary patterns; male‐biased genes evolve faster than unbiased genes in both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12915-021-01021-4
Abstract: Background Exaggerated secondary sexual traits are widespread in nature and often evolve under strong directional sexual selection. Although heavily studied from both theoretical and empirical viewpoints, we have little understanding of how sexual selection influences… read more here.
