Can diet niche partitioning enhance sexual dimorphism? [PDF]

, 2022
Classic evolutionary theory suggests that sexual dimorphism evolves primarily via sexual and fecundity selection. However, theory and evidence are beginning to accumulate suggesting that resource competition can drive the evolution of sexual dimorphism ...

Sexual dimorphism in cancer [PDF]

Nature Reviews Cancer, 2016
The incidence of many types of cancer arising in organs with non-reproductive functions is significantly higher in male populations than in female populations, with associated differences in survival. Occupational and/or behavioural factors are well-known underlying determinants.

GlcNAc induces GlcNAc catabolic genes and inhibits filamentation via YlRep1-YlNgs1 signaling in the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

mSphere
Many fungal species can utilize N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) as a carbon source. Studies in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans have revealed that GlcNAc utilization and the induction of GlcNAc catabolic genes depend on the Ndt80 family transcription ...

SEX DIFFERENCES IN OCCIPITAL CONDYLES IN MAIDUGURI, NORTHEASTERN NIGERIA USING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC SCAN IMAGES [PDF]

Kanem Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018
Background: Measurements of the occipital condyle (OC) have been reported to be used in sex identification. Hence, the present study attempts to find out whether the OC is sexually dimorphic, and whether morphometric analysis of the same, using computed ...

Mucor dimorphism

Microbiological Reviews, 1991
Mucor dimorphism has interested microbiologists since the time of Pasteur. When deprived of oxygen, these fungi grow as spherical, multipolar budding yeasts. In the presence of oxygen, they propagate as branching coenocytic hyphae. The ease with which these morphologies can be manipulated in the laboratory, the diverse array of morphopoietic agents ...

Sexual Dimorphism in Osteoclasts [PDF]

Cells, 2020
Osteoclasts are the principal mediators of bone resorption. They form through the fusion of mononuclear precursor cells under the principal influence of the cytokines macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF, aka CSF-1) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL, aka TNFSF11).

TRAIP Mediates Alcohol‐Induced Liver Injury through Regulating β‐catenin Ubiquitin Degradation via Direct Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that NF‐κB1‐driven TRAIP upregulation in ALD correlates with disease severity. Mechanistically, TRAIP directly binds β‐catenin via its CC domain and promotes its K48‐linked ubiquitination and degradation, which is independent of the GSK3β/β‐TrCP pathway.

Sexual dimorphism in campylobacteriosis

Epidemiology and Infection, 2007
SUMMARYSexual dimorphism in infectious diseases whereby disease incidence is more prevalent in one gender has been reported repeatedly in the scientific literature. Both behavioural and physiological differences have been suggested as a cause of this gender bias but there is a paucity of data to support either of these viewpoints.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...
