An investigation into the positive effect of an educated wife on her husband’s earnings: the case of Japan in the period between 2000 and 2003. [PDF]

We analyze the effect of a wife’s human capital on her husband’s earnings, using individual-level data for Japan in the period 2000–2003. We find a positive association between a wife’s education and her husband’s earnings, which can be attributed to the

Genomic predictions under different genetic architectures are impacted by mating designs

Veterinary and Animal Science
Mating in animal communities must be managed in a way that assures the performance increase in the progenies without increasing the rate of inbreeding. It has currently become possible to identify millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and ...

Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of partially migratory metapopulations in spatially and seasonally varying environments

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Partial seasonal migration is rarely considered in a metapopulation context. Here, Haaland et al. use an eco‐evolutionary model revealing how partially migratory metapopulations may arise and be maintained, and how seasonal migrants may cause effects of local extreme climatic events to percolate through metapopulations across diverging temporal and ...

Deaf intermarriage has limited effect on the prevalence of recessive deafness and no effect on underlying allelic frequency.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The idea that deaf intermarriage increases the prevalence of deafness was forcefully pushed in the late 19th century by Alexander Graham Bell, in proceedings published by the National Academy of Science.

The complexity of neighborhood effects: A developmental and ecological framework for violent victimization

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has established a link between low self‐control and child victimization. However, the specific neighborhood conditions under which low self‐control most strongly influences victimization have been little examined, and, more importantly, no previous studies have investigated the complex ways in which neighborhood context ...

Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.
