No clear evidence for correlations between handgrip strength and sexually dimorphic acoustic properties of voices
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "American Journal of Human Biology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajhb.23178
Abstract: Recent research on the signal value of masculine physical characteristics in men has focused on the possibility that such characteristics are valid cues of physical strength. However, evidence that sexually dimorphic vocal characteristics are correlated… read more here.

Sexually dimorphic perineuronal nets in the rodent and primate reproductive circuit
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.25167
Abstract: Perineuronal nets are extracellular glycoprotein structures that have been found on some neurons in the central nervous system and that have been shown to regulate their structural plasticity. Until now work on perineuronal nets has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4699
Abstract: Excess in growth hormone (GH) levels, seen in patients with acromegaly, is associated with increases in fractures. This happens despite wider bones and independent of bone mineral density. We used the bovine GH (bGH) transgenic… read more here.

Sexually dimorphic characters of the ultimate legs in lithobiid centipedes (Myriapoda, Chilopoda, and Lithobiomorpha): Morphology and implications for reproductive behavior
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Morphology"
DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21549
Abstract: Many species of lithobiomorph centipedes present a pronounced sexual dimorphism reflected in remarkable structural modifications on the ultimate legs of males. Most records of these male secondary sexual characters addressed taxonomy, helping to identify and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00114-021-01777-3
Abstract: In a general way, galling insects can induce only one gall morphotype on the host plant species. However, some taxa of galling insects such as Eriococcidae can induce sexually dimorphic galls on the same host.… read more here.

Brain Control of Sexually Dimorphic Liver Function and Disease: The Endocrine Connection

DOI: 10.1007/s10571-019-00652-0
Abstract: A multistep signaling cascade originates in brain centers that regulate hypothalamic growth hormone-releasing hormone (Ghrh) and somatostatin expression levels and release to control the pattern of GH secretion. This process is sexually fine-tuned, and relays… read more here.

A Single-Neuron Chemosensory Switch Determines the Valence of a Sexually Dimorphic Sensory Behavior
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.02.029
Abstract: Biological sex, a fundamental dimension of internal state, can modulate neural circuits to generate behavioral variation. Understanding how and why circuits are tuned by sex can provide important insights into neural and behavioral plasticity. Here… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2017.02.007
Abstract: The zebrafish has become a popular model for studying normal brain aging due to its large fecundity, conserved genome, and available genetic tools; but little data exists about neurobiological age-related alterations. The current study tested… read more here.
