Female–female cooperation in polygynous oystercatchers
Nature, 1998Waders (Charadrii) provide biologists with an astonishing variety of mating systems to study(1). Male and female birds establish breeding units in which behaviour varies from monogamy, polygyny, polyandry, double clutching, lekking and serial monogamy to sex role reversal, and many mixed mating systems exist(1).

Female–female mounting in pumas
Journal of Ethology, 2020Female–female sexual behaviors have been recorded in many species across several taxa, but their infrequency except in a few species has resulted in continued speculation about their function and potential evolutionary consequences. Here, we report two observations of female–female mounting in wild puma populations representing two sub-species from ...

Vertebrate female germline—the acquisition of femaleness
WIREs Developmental Biology, 2013The cellular and molecular characteristics of female germ cells have primarily been studied in the mammalian ovary. In most female mammals, all primordial germ cells (PGCs) develop into oocytes early during ovary formation, and germline stem cells are few in number or absent in postnatal ovaries (Lei L, Spradling AC.

Veterinary Record, 2017
Sometimes figures are the best way to tell a story. When it comes to the veterinary workforce, they spell out a very simple reality – it has moved from a male dominated career to a female one. According to the latest figures from the RCVS, women currently make up 59 per cent of the profession.

1984
The female gametophyte develops from the megaspore formed in the nucellar tissue of the ovule. The megaspore enlarges and after some mitotic divisions a small coenocyte differentiates. In general, a megagametophyte consists, after cytokinesis, of an egg apparatus, a central cell, and antipodal cells.
