Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.This study delineates the early sex differentiation timeline in the northern snakehead (Channa argus). These findings provide a foundation for future sex‐control breeding in this economically important species. ABSTRACT The northern snakehead (Channa argus) is an economically important aquaculture species in China.

Behavioural causes and consequences of sexual size dimorphism in an apex predator species.
Individual differences within populations in a range of phenotypic traits are hypothesised to have important ecological and evolutionary implications. Variation in individual growth rates that result in corresponding variations in body sizes, including ...

Sheep Horn Development Revealed by Multi‐Tissue and Cross‐Species Transcriptomic Analysis
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Multi‐tissue and cross‐species transcriptomics with allele‐specific expression show sheep horns are a composite organ integrating epidermal and osteogenic programs. Conserved horn gene modules and cis‐regulatory variation fine‐tune expression networks underlying horn development and size (small scurs vs. large spiral horns).

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Osteoarthritis, the leading cause of disability worldwide, disproportionately affects women, yet sex remains an overlooked determinant. This disparity stems from sex‐specific differences in injury susceptibility—a major risk factor for disease.

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

Sexual Size Dimorphism in Multiple Traits: An Integrative Perspective in Several Anuran Species
Sexual dimorphism is a fascinating phenomenon that showcases the wide variation of characteristics related to life strategies in organisms. It is driven by two key evolutionary processes: sexual selection and natural selection.
