DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.23694
Abstract: Abstract Objectives We investigated the genetic history of southern African populations with a special focus on their paternal history. We reexamined previous claims that the Y‐chromosome haplogroup E1b1b (E‐M293) was brought to southern Africa by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6153
Abstract: Abstract Uncertainty in risks posed by emerging stressors such as synthetic hormones impedes conservation efforts for threatened vertebrate populations. Synthetic hormones often induce sex‐biased perturbations in exposed animals by disrupting gonad development and early life‐history… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6382
Abstract: Abstract Dispersal affects the spatial distribution and population structure of species. Dispersal is often male‐biased in mammals while female‐biased in birds, with the notable exception of the Anatidae. In this study, we tested genetic evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11033-020-05843-3
Abstract: Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is a widespread phenomenon in fish species, including in the olive flounder. Although it is well established that female olive flounders acquire more bone mass than males, the underlying mechanism and… read more here.

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: 10.1016/j.tim.2020.10.002
Abstract: Males are disproportionately affected by severe disease and death from SARS-CoV-2 infection. In their recent article, Takahashi et al. found sex differences in immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and the predictors of disease progression. These findings… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2217902120
Abstract: Significance A major gap in our current knowledge of COVID-19 is our limited understanding of the pathways of antibody production during acute disease. While a key pathway of antibody production driven by T-follicular helper cells… 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.

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: 10.1093/molbev/msx317
Abstract: &NA; A faster rate of adaptive evolution of X‐linked genes compared with autosomal genes (the faster‐X effect) can be caused by the fixation of recessive or partially recessive advantageous mutations. This effect should be largest… read more here.
