Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

Look past the cooperative eye hypothesis: reconsidering the evolution of human eye appearance
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The external appearance of the human eye has been prominently linked to the evolution of complex sociocognitive functions in our species. The cooperative eye hypothesis (CEH) proposes that human eyeballs, with their weakly expressed conjunctival and scleral pigmentation, are uniquely conspicuous and evolved under selective pressures to behave ...

Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought?
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought to be genetically determined and fixed in plants, accumulating evidence suggests that sex expression can change reversibly even within one ...

The Natural Course of Bosch‐Boonstra‐Schaaf Optic Atrophy Syndrome
Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.Here, we present data on genetic variants and phenotype development of 47 individuals with Bosch‐Boonstra‐Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, highlighting the fact that the disease does not appear to be fundamentally progressive.
