DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1128
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Sex-ratio variation occurs widely in dioecious plants, but the mechanisms of population sex-ratio bias are poorly understood. In bryophytes, sex ratios are often female biased, and little information is available about… read more here.

Determination and analysis of sex ratios in heme oxygenase 1 gene targeted mouse embryos
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Birth Defects Research"
DOI: 10.1002/bdr2.2087
Abstract: Heme oxygenase 1 or Hmox1 enzyme is involved in catalyzing the first and rate‐limiting step in heme breakdown reactions. Many studies have reported a partial lethality of Hmox1 knockout mice obtained from heterozygous breeding pairs.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10008
Abstract: Abstract Climate change threatens endemic island ectothermic reptiles that display small population sizes and temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD). Studies of captive Galapagos tortoises demonstrate type A TSD with warmer incubation temperatures producing females. However, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3071
Abstract: Abstract Despite extensive research on mechanisms generating biases in sex ratios, the capacity of natural enemies to shift or further skew operational sex ratios following sex allocation and parental care remains largely unstudied in natural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-017-1114-5
Abstract: The Eurasian woodcock is a highly valued game bird in Western Europe from which c. 2.7 million individuals are harvested annually from an estimated population of 20–26 million birds. The population size and status remains… read more here.

Potential male leatherback hatchlings exhibit higher fitness which might balance sea turtle sex ratios in the face of climate change

DOI: 10.1007/s10584-019-02462-1
Abstract: Sea turtles are vertebrates with temperature-dependent sex determination. Rising temperatures due to climate change cause female-biased sex ratios. We have assessed the influence of nest depth and shading conditions on nest temperatures and hatchling fitness… read more here.

Convergent evidence for a theory of rapid, automatic, and accurate sex ratio tracking.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2020.103161
Abstract: It is presumed that people track the sex ratios in their environment (the number of males relative to number of females) in order to adaptively adjust their decisions and behaviors, but this actual tracking ability… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2021.736931
Abstract: Abstract The royal gramma (Gramma loreto) is vulnerable to anthropogenic impact in its coral reef habitats, and is deemed an “indicator” species of pollution. It is also heavily fished for the aquarium trade, being among… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.03.006
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: 10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2018.06.001
Abstract: Humans infected with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii display a wide variety of abnormal behaviours, from suicide and depression to stuttering. These behaviours have been seen as so serious as to constitute a public health problem.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106175
Abstract: Abstract Environmental pollution and climate change can bias the sex ratios of animal populations in which sexual development is sensitive to environmental contaminants and temperature. Investigating these effects in field studies and ecotoxicological experiments is… read more here.
