Abstract: Anogenital distance (AGD) is positively correlated to fetal androgen exposure and developmental masculinization in mammals. Independent of overall body size, AGD shows a strong positive correlation with male fertility and in rodents, AGD is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2025.0645
Abstract: Male reproductive success is determined by the interplay of female mate choice and male–male competition, often linked to dominance rank in social animals. Across taxa, elaborate ornaments, such as bright coloration or large antlers, often… read more here.
