    Femora from an exceptionally large population of coeval ornithomimosaurs yield evidence of sexual dimorphism in extinct theropod dinosaurs

    Romain Pintore, Raphaël Cornette ... Ronan Allain
    Consistent bimodal variations in the femoral morphology of various modern amniotes and a remarkably large herd of coeval fossil non-avian theropods evidences sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs.

    A meta-analysis of the association between male dimorphism and fitness outcomes in humans

    Linda H Lidborg, Catharine Penelope Cross, Lynda G Boothroyd
    While men’s mating success is predicted both by their strength/muscularity, voice pitch, height, and testosterone levels, their reproductive output is only predicted by strength/muscularity.

    High rates of evolution preceded shifts to sex-biased gene expression in Leucadendron, the most sexually dimorphic angiosperms

    Mathias Scharmann, Anthony G Rebelo, John R Pannell
    In the dioecious plant genus Leucadendron, shifts to sex-biased gene expression occurred predominantly in genes with ancestrally high rates of expression evolution, and were not correlated with morphology.

    Sexual dimorphism in striatal dopaminergic responses promotes monogamy in social songbirds

    Kirill Tokarev, Julia Hyland Bruno ... Henning U Voss
    Co-evolution of sexually dimorphic reinforcement systems for song can explain the coexistence of the seemingly contradictory traits of gregariousness and monogamy in social songbirds.

    Intact Drosophila central nervous system cellular quantitation reveals sexual dimorphism

    Wei Jiao, Gard Spreemann ... Brian D McCabe
    Fewer neurons and more glia than previously predicted plus substantial differences between males and females are revealed when entire intact Drosophila larval central nervous systems are quantified using a synthesis of genetic, imaging, and computation technologies.

    Palaeontology: Sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs

    Stella A Ludwig, Roy E Smith, Nizar Ibrahim
    Studying fossils from a mass-mortality event reveals evidence for sexual dimorphism and, unusually, equal numbers of males and females in a herd of dinosaurs.

    Sexual dimorphism in trait variability and its eco-evolutionary and statistical implications

    Susanne RK Zajitschek, Felix Zajitschek ... Shinichi Nakagawa
    Sex differences in trait variability imply that both sexes should be included in biomedical trials, using sex-specific statistical power calculations.

    Uncovering a ‘sensitive window’ of multisensory and motor neuroplasticity in the cerebrum and cerebellum of male and female starlings

    Jasmien Orije, Emilie Cardon ... Annemie Van der Linden
    Despite the structural sexual dimorphism in the song control system, both male and female starlings experience similar seasonal neuroplasticity in multisensory systems and cerebellum during the photosensitive phase, which acts as a sensitive window of plasticity.

    Investigation of Drosophila fruitless neurons that express Dpr/DIP cell adhesion molecules

    Savannah G Brovero, Julia C Fortier ... Michelle N Arbeitman
    Analyses of fru P1 neurons that express dpr/DIP genes reveal roles for subsets of neurons in courtship, and the roles of Dpr/DIPs and the sex hierarchy in neuroanatomical sexual dimorphism.

    Fruitless mutant male mosquitoes gain attraction to human odor

    Nipun S Basrur, Maria Elena De Obaldia ... Leslie B Vosshall
    Engineering male mosquitoes lacking the fruitless gene induces them to be attracted to humans.
