It's Complicated: How Sex, Family, and Season Affect Growth of a Sexually Size Dimorphic Spider

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Extreme female‐biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in Nephilingis cruentata emerges when male and female growth trajectories diverge mid‐development. Seasonal effects influence both sexes similarly, but family effects are strongly sex‐specific. These patterns identify a critical developmental window for mechanistic studies of SSD.

Dimorphic variant of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast

, 2017
We report a case of dimorphic variant of ductal carcinoma in situ (dimorphic DCIS), composed of an epithelium intermixed with columnar cells and dimorphic cells. The findings of typical DCIS architecture support categorization as DCIS on a low-power view.

Water Use Behavior of Individual Birds: Ring Ouzels in an Arid High‐Mountain Ecosystem

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Water is a limiting resource for birds in arid ecosystems. Individual birds differ strongly in how they use shared water sources, with drinking behavior increasing with temperature. Behavioral differences, hierarchy, and social context ultimately shape unequal access to water within the population. ABSTRACT Water availability strongly constrains animal

Endemic dimorphic fungi

, 2017
Endemic dimorphic infections are acquired by inhalation of fungal spores which undergo a thermal transition to a yeast-like phase in the host. The causative organisms are geographically restricted and are isolated from the environment; likewise, the ...

Genomic Diversity of the Endangered Guinan Toad‐Headed Lizard and Its Conservation Implications

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We produced HiFi long reads and assembled a high‐quality genome for the Guinan toad‐headed lizard—Phrynocephalus guinanensis—and present a comprehensive conservation genomics assessment. Our findings clearly show population structure, a reduced genetic diversity pattern, and a strong bottleneck in demographic history, reaffirming the endangered status ...

Evolution of sexually dimorphic pheromone profiles coincides with increased number of male‐specific chemosensory organs in Drosophila prolongata

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Binary communication systems that involve sex‐specific signaling and sex‐specific signal perception play a key role in sexual selection and in the evolution of sexually dimorphic traits.

Movement Responses of Seals During Pile Driving for Offshore Wind Farm Construction

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Despite rapid growth of the renewable energy industry to meet climate change targets, predictions of population‐level impacts on wildlife are currently hindered by a limited understanding of individual behavioural responses to these developments.

Proteomic Sex Estimation From Embedded Tooth Enamel

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Teeth hold insights into childhood diet, health and demography—including chromosomal sex. Proteomic analysis can detect peptide biomarkers from amelogenin genes encoded on X and Y chromosomes, allowing sex estimation. Embedding resins, necessary for thin sectioning teeth, can damage analytical systems, preventing proteomic analysis. We present

Macrophage- and oxidant-mediated inhibition of the ability of live Blastomyces dermatitidis conidia to transform to the pathogenic yeast phase: implications for the pathogenesis of dimorphic fungal infections

, 1991
Conidia, produced by the mycelial phase of dimorphic fungi, are thought to represent the in-fectious form of the organism but must complete a transition to the tissue-invasive, yeast-like phase for infection to ensue.

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.
