Studying paternity and paternal care: pitfalls and problems

open access: yesAnimal Behaviour, 1997
Theoretical treatments of the relationship between paternity (or certainty of paternity) and paternal care predict, under certain conditions, that individual males should invest less in paternal care if their paternity is reduced (Whittingham et al. 1992; Westneat & Sherman 1993).

Sexual selection of male parental care in giant water bugs [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
Paternal care can be maintained under sexual selection, if it helps in attracting more mates. We tested the hypothesis in two giant water bug species, Appasus major and Appasus japonicus, that male parental care is sexually selected through female ...

Vasopressin Differentially Affects Handgrip Force of Expectant Fathers in Reaction to Own and Unknown Infant Faces

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019
The underlying mechanisms of paternal responses to infant signals are poorly understood. Vasopressin has previously been proposed to affect these responses.

Genetic predisposition to porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder: A functional genomic‐based, multigenerational family study

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Combinatorial targeting of G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 reveals a mechanistic role for bile acids and leukotrienes in drug‐induced liver injury

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Genetic Monogamy in Socially Monogamous Mammals Is Primarily Predicted by Multiple Life History Factors: A Meta-Analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Background: We still do not understand the key drivers or prevalence of genetic monogamy in mammals despite the amount of attention that the evolution of mammalian monogamy has received.

Metabolic Reprogramming Driven by Trophoblasts and Decidual XCR1+PMN‐MDSC Crosstalk Controls Adverse Outcomes Associated With Advanced Maternal Age

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The interaction between trophoblasts and decidual polymorphonuclear myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (dPMN‐MDSCs) via the XCL1–XCR1 axis is crucial for fetal development during the third trimester. Disruption of this axis impairs FOXO1 activity and causes metabolic imbalance in dPMN‐MDSCs, contributing to adverse outcomes associated with advanced ...

Monogamy: Cause, Consequence, or Corollary of Success in Wild Canids?

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The Canidae are successful, being a widespread, abundant, speciose, and adaptable family. Several canids in particular have recently experienced rapid expansions in range and abundance, with similar situations mirrored on several continents by different ...

Reference‐Guided Chromosome‐by‐Chromosome de novo Assembly at Scale Using Low‐Coverage High‐Fidelity Long‐Reads with HiFiCCL

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
HiFiCCL, as the first assembly framework specifically designed for low‐coverage high‐fidelity reads, improves the assembly quality of existing assemblers and also enhances downstream applications such as large structural variant (SV) detection (>10 000 bp), synteny analysis, pangenome graph construction, and graph‐based individual‐specific germline SVs
