Implications of size‐selective fisheries on sexual selection

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
Fisheries often combine high mortality with intensive size selectivity and can, thus, be expected to reduce body size and size variability in exploited populations.

Females Choose Mates Based on Genetic Relatedness in a Small Dasyurid Marsupial, the Agile Antechinus (Antechinus agilis). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Females in a variety of taxa mate with more than one male during a single oestrus and exhibit mate preferences for genetically compatible males, but the influence of female mate choice on siring success is not clearly understood.

Evidence‐Informed Multidisciplinary Consensus Guidance for the Psychosocial Care of Adolescents With High‐Risk Cancer: Recommendations From the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with high‐risk cancer face complex developmental, psychosocial, and ethical challenges that extend beyond disease‐directed treatment. Although international recommendations exist for communication, psychosocial care, pediatric palliative care, survivorship, and shared decision‐making, these have largely evolved within ...

Female mating decisions in the rose bitterling (Rhodeus ocellatus) [PDF]

, 2011
The aim of this study was to obtain an understanding of the basis to female mating decisions in the Chinese rose bitterling (Rhodeus ocellatus). Bitterling have a resource-based mating system that involves the female laying her eggs inside the gills of a

Sexual Selection in Mosquitofish: Differences in the Use of Mating Cues Between Sexes

Animals
Sexual selection is a major driver of speciation and evolution, with mate choice being a key component. Individuals assess mate quality by integrating various mating cues.

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

Generalization Increases the Adaptive Value of Mate Choice Copying When Immediate Copying Is Costly

Humans
When assessing potential mates is costly, there will be selection for copying others. Mate choice copying, which is the increased chance of mating with another individual after observing them mating with someone else (i.e., individual-based copying), has

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Good vs complementary genes for parasite resistance and the evolution of mate choice

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2004
Background Female mate choice may be adaptive when males exhibit heritable genetic variation at loci encoding resistance to infectious disease. The Hamilton-Zuk hypothesis predicts that females should assess the genetic quality of males by monitoring ...
