Sex bias in pain management decisions. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AIn the pursuit of mental and physical health, effective pain management stands as a cornerstone. Here, we examine a potential sex bias in pain management. Leveraging insights from psychological research showing that females’ pain is stereotypically judged as less intense than males’ pain, we hypothesize that there may be tangible differences in pain ...

Mate quality bias: Sex differences in humans [PDF]
, 2009 In mate choice copying, a male is more likely to be chosen by other females simply by being observed mating. A recent finding is that women are influenced in their assessments of men by the phenotypic quality of males' sexual partners.

Sex Bias in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Differentiated thyroid cancers are more frequent in women than in men. These different frequencies may depend on differences in patient’s behavior and in thyroid investigations. However, an impact on sexual hormones is likely, although this has been insufficiently elucidated.

A father effect explains sex-ratio bias [PDF]
, 2017 Sex ratio allocation has important fitness consequences, and theory predicts that parents should adjust offspring sex ratio in cases where the fitness returns of producing male and female offspring vary.

Cell Host & Microbe, 2018 Though critical for preventing fatal sepsis, the mechanisms mediating the capture of bloodstream bacteria are incompletely understood. New work by Zeng et al. (2018) demonstrates that estrogen-regulated innate antibodies protect females and newborns from death following bloodstream infection with enteropathogenic Eschericia coli.

Haplodiploidy, sex-ratio adjustment, and eusociality. [PDF]
, 2013 Hamilton's "haplodiploidy hypothesis" holds that inflated sororal relatedness has promoted altruistic sib rearing in haplodiploids, potentially explaining their apparent predisposition to eusociality.
