Extreme Reversed Sexual Dichromatism in a Bird Without Sex Role Reversal [PDF]
Science, 2005 Brilliant plumage is typical of male birds, reflecting differential enhancement of male traits when females are the limiting sex. Brighter females are thought to evolve exclusively in response to sex role reversal. The striking reversed plumage dichromatism of Eclectus roratus parrots does not fit this pattern.

Sexual Conflict: The Battle of the Sexes Reversed [PDF]
Current Biology, 2008 In most species one sex is more reluctant to mate than the other. Standard explanations invoking potential reproductive rates have shortcomings that are illustrated by a new study of eager female and reluctant male antelopes.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Castor (Ricinus communis L) is an ideal model species for sex mechanism studies in monoecious angiosperms, due to wide variations in sex expression. Sex reversion to monoecy in pistillate lines, along with labile sex expression, negatively influences ...

Reversed Sexual Conflict in a Promiscuous Antelope [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 A general tenet of sexual conflict theory is that males have higher optimum mating rates than do females and therefore should be more persistent when it comes to mating. However, in promiscuous species, females might benefit from high mating rates as a result of increased conception probability with favored males, whereas favored males benefit from ...

Radioimmunoassay of rat leptin: sexual dimorphism reversed from humans [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 1998 AbstractAdipose tissue secretes leptin, which interacts with receptors in the hypothalamus. In rodent models of obesity, leptin increases metabolism and decreases food intake, which helps to maintain normal body composition. Accurate and precise methods to quantitate circulating leptin concentrations are needed for physiological studies.

Epigenetic modification and inheritance in sexual reversal of fish [PDF]
Genome Research, 2014 Environmental sex determination (ESD) occurs in divergent, phylogenetically unrelated taxa, and in some species, co-occurs with genetic sex determination (GSD) mechanisms. Although epigenetic regulation in response to environmental effects has long been proposed to be associated with ESD, a systemic analysis on epigenetic regulation of ESD is still ...
