Why Y chromosome is shorter and women live longer? [PDF]
Eur. Phys. J. B 65, 149-153 (2008), 2008 We have used the Penna ageing model to analyze how the differences in evolution of sex chromosomes depend on the strategy of reproduction. In panmictic populations, when females (XX) can freely choose the male partner (XY) for reproduction from the whole population, the Y chromosome accumulates defects and eventually the only information it brings is a

Two new species of the subgenus Peytonulus of Sabethes (Diptera: Culicidae) from Colombia
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1995 The adults and male genitalia of two new species of Sabethes subgenus Peytonulus are described from Colombia. The male genitalia are illustrated and the species are distinguished from one another and other members of the subgenus.

Excitatory and inhibitory interactions affect the balance of chorus activity and energy efficiency in the aggregation of male frogs: Theoretical study using a hybrid dynamical model [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We theoretically study the role of excitatory and inhibitory interactions in the aggregations of male frogs. In most frogs, males produce sounds to attract conspecific females, which activates the calling behavior of other males and results in collective choruses.

How women organize social networks different from men [PDF]
Scientific Reports 3, 1214 (2013), 2012 Superpositions of social networks, such as communication, friendship, or trade networks, are called multiplex networks, forming the structural backbone of human societies. Novel datasets now allow quantification and exploration of multiplex networks. Here we study gender-specific differences of a multiplex network from a complete behavioral dataset of ...

Androgen-independent events in penile development in humans and animals. [PDF]
, 2020 The common view on penile development is that it is androgen-dependent, based first and foremost on the fact that the genital tubercle forms a penis in males and a clitoris in females.

Glyphidops (Glyphidops) filosus (Diptera: Neriidae) revisited, with special attention to the morphology of the male and female terminalia [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020 Although a recent revision of the genus Glyphidops Enderlein covered most its known, some of the Brazilian forms were not surveyed. Here we take advantage of the excellent morphological work available in the literature and redescribe Glyphidops ...

Evolution of female choice under intralocus sexual conflict and genotype-by-environment interactions [PDF]
Li, X. Y., & Holman, L. (2018). Evolution of female choice under
intralocus sexual conflict and genotype-by-environment interactions. Phil.
Trans. R. Soc. B, 373(1757), 20170425, 2018 In many species, females are hypothesised to obtain 'good genes' for their offspring by mating with males in good condition. However, female preferences might deplete genetic variance and make choice redundant. Additionally, high-condition males sometime produce low-fitness offspring, for example because of environmental turnover and gene-by ...
