Pregnancy Outcomes After Higher-Order Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction: A Retrospective Study

International Journal of Clinical Practice
Conclusion: Prevention is the most important measure to decrease the incidence of multiple pregnancies. For higher-order multifetal pregnancies, multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) is considered a significant remedial measure.

Evaluating the origin and spread of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Japan

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 162-179, April 2025.
The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and is a serious economic pest in the Republic of Korea and the United States, though it is not considered a pest in Japan. We established a distribution map of L. delicatula in Japan through a comprehensive review of published literature and citizen science reports and analyzed ...

Interaction of sperm with endometrium can regulate genes involved in endometrial receptivity pathway in mice: An experimental study

International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine, 2020
Background: Many researchers consider implantation and endometrial receptivity as pertinent issues in reproductive science. Although, several experiments have been performed and their results evaluated, yet there is no confirmed evidence about the ...

Triiodothyronine suppresses humoral immunity but not T-cell-mediated immune response in incubating female eiders (Somateria mollissima) [PDF]

Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 151 (2007) 188-194, 2007
Immunity is believed to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction. Previous studies have shown that the acquired immunity of female common eiders (Somateria mollissima) is suppressed during the incubation fast.

Comparison of kinship‐identification methods for robust stock assessment using close‐kin mark–recapture data for Pacific bluefin tuna

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 140-152, April 2025.
In this study, we compared three methods for kinship identification using different algorithms in samples of wild Pacific bluefin tuna and generated genotyping data. The three methods resulted in different numbers of inferred kinship pairs for both generated and actual data. Particularly for the half‐sibling pairs, considerable number of false‐positive

BaP/BPDE suppressed endothelial cell angiogenesis to induce miscarriage by promoting MARCHF1/GPX4-mediated ferroptosis

Environment International, 2023
Environmental benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and its ultimate metabolite BPDE (benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide) are universal and inevitable persistent organic pollutants and endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Measuring Female Representation and Impact in Films over Time [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Women have always been underrepresented in movies and not until recently has the representation of women in movies improved. To investigate the improvement of female representation and its relationship with a movie's success, we propose a new measure, the female cast ratio, and compare it to the commonly used Bechdel test result.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...
