    Mating and male pheromone kill Caenorhabditis males through distinct mechanisms

    Cheng Shi, Alexi M Runnels, Coleen T Murphy
    Male C. elegans die through two distinct mechanisms – mating-induced germline activation, and potent male pheromone toxicity – but the latter is unique to males of androdioecious species (made up of hermaphrodites and males).

    Cell Division: Sibling cell size matters

    Clemens Cabernard
    A motor protein called Klp10A ensures that germline stem cells in male fruit flies divide to produce two sibling cells that are equal in size.

    A method for low-coverage single-gamete sequence analysis demonstrates adherence to Mendel’s first law across a large sample of human sperm

    Sara A Carioscia, Kathryn J Weaver ... Rajiv C McCoy
    A computational method and genome-wide scan of low-coverage single-cell sequencing data from a large sample of human sperm suggests balanced transmission of alleles to the gamete pool.

    Parasite defensive limb movements enhance acoustic signal attraction in male little torrent frogs

    Longhui Zhao, Jichao Wang ... Jianguo Cui
    Multimodal signals may evolve from unimodal one via co-option of primary signal components and associated cues that serve as by-products.

    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.
