Sexual size dimorphism in anurans: roles of mating system and habitat types [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is widespread and variable among animals. Sexual selection, fecundity selection and ecological divergence between males and females are the major evolutionary forces of SSD.

Adaptation to monogamy influences parental care but not mating behavior in the burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The mating system is expected to have an important influence on the evolution of mating and parenting behaviors. Although many studies have used experimental evolution to examine how mating behaviors evolve under different mating systems, this approach ...

Exploring Preferences for a Digital Single‐Session Intervention for Adolescent Siblings of Youth With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent siblings of children with cancer are at elevated risk for psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, various barriers such as limited family time and resources, conflicting schedules, and psychosocial staffing constraints at cancer centers hinder sibling access to support.

Floral display and habitat fragmentation: Effects on the reproductive success of the threatened mass‐flowering Conospermum undulatum (Proteaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Fragmentation of natural vegetation is currently one of the largest threats to plant populations and their interactions with pollinators. Plant reproductive susceptibility to habitat fragmentation has been investigated in many species; however, the ...

White cells facilitate opposite- and same-sex mating of opaque cells in Candida albicans. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Modes of sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms are extremely diverse. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans undergoes a phenotypic switch from the white to the opaque phase in order to become mating-competent.

Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...

Survive the north: transplantation for conservation of mangrove forests requires consideration of influences of low temperature, mating system and their joint effects on effective size of the reforested populations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Mangrove forests, which occur in the intertidal regions of tropical and sub-tropical zones, have high ecological and economic values. They have rapidly reduced over the past decades due to various reasons.

The mating behavior and reproduction performance in a multi-sire mating system for pigs [PDF]

, 2008
An important aim of organic animal production is to allow natural animal behaviour. Regarding reproduction techniques, artificial insemination is permitted but natural mating is preferred.

Treatment Decision‐Making Roles and Preferences Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Decision‐making (DM) dynamics between adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, parents, and oncologists remain underexplored in diverse populations. We examined cancer treatment DM preferences among an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse group of AYAs and their parents.

Linkage mapping identifies the sex determining region as a single locus in the Pennate diatom Seminavis robusta. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The pennate diatom Seminavis robusta, characterized by an archetypical diatom life cycle including a heterothallic mating system, is emerging as a model system for studying the molecular regulation of the diatom cell and life cycle.
