Abstract: Abstract Habitat loss and pollution are two of the greatest global threats to biodiversity. Due to their widespread prevalence, these threats often co-occur, yet their interactive effects on organisms remain poorly understood. Some reptiles are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-17708-0
Abstract: Patterns of temperature fluctuations in nature affect numerous biological processes, yet, empirical studies often utilize constant temperature treatments. This can limit our understanding of how thermally sensitive species respond to ecologically relevant temperatures. Research on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-61984-2
Abstract: Temperature-dependent sex determination, present in most turtle species, is a mechanism that uses temperature to direct the sex of the embryo. The rapid increase of global temperatures highlights the need for a clear assessment of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0282017
Abstract: Background The incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been reported to be strongly associated to sex/gender difference. CRC shows sexual dimorphism, and sex hormones have been shown to affect the tumor immune… read more here.
