Sperm competition shapes gene expression and sequence evolution in the ocellated wrasse. [PDF]
, 2017 Gene expression differences between males and females often underlie sexually dimorphic phenotypes, and the expression levels of genes that are differentially expressed between the sexes are thought to respond to sexual selection.

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Predictable Patterns Of Disruptive Selection In Stickleback In Postglacial Lakes [PDF]
, 2008 Disruptive selection is often assumed to be relatively rare, because it is dynamically unstable and hence should be transient. However, frequency-dependent interactions such as intraspecific competition may stabilize fitness minima and make disruptive ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Infants with cancer are rare and face unique challenges. Our study aims to describe the incidence of infantile cancers in Canada and to compare treatment‐related mortality (TRM) and their outcomes with those of older children. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Cancer in Young People in Canada database ...

Darwin, sexual selection, and the origins of music
, 2018 Humans devote ample time to produce and perceive music. How and why this behavioral propensity originated in our species is unknown. For centuries, speculation dominated the study of the evolutionary origins of musicality.

Testes asymmetry, condition and sexual selection in birds: an experimental test [PDF]
, 1998 The functional significance of the marked directional asymmetry in testes size observed in many bird species is obscure. Møller suggested that (i) the smaller of the two testes serves a compensatory role and increases in size (and hence reduces ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background In Ewing sarcoma (EwS), metastases, including those to bone marrow (BM), are the main factors influencing prognosis. Although reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) offers greater sensitivity, the current EWING protocol defines BM metastases solely using light microscopic detection.
