    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.

    Extreme positive epistasis for fitness in monosomic yeast strains

    Hanna Tutaj, Katarzyna Tomala ... Ryszard Korona
    Monosomy in yeast results in numerous gene dosage insufficiencies with potentially lethal collective effect, but strong positive epistasis rooted in the modular structure of cell metabolism cancels it.

    Thermal phenotypic plasticity of pre- and post-copulatory male harm buffers sexual conflict in wild Drosophila melanogaster

    Claudia Londoño-Nieto, Roberto García-Roa ... Pau Carazo
    Natural temperature variation across an optimal reproductive range for wild flies (Drosophila melanogaster) modulates the impact of sexual conflict on female fitness via asymmetric effects on pre- and post-copulatory male harm mechanisms.

    The evolution of non-reproductive workers in insect colonies with haplodiploid genetics

    Jason W Olejarz, Benjamin Allen ... Martin A Nowak
    A mathematical model predicts the precise conditions for natural selection to favor the evolution of non-reproductive workers in insect colonies with haplodiploid genetics.

    Functional evidence implicating chromosome 7q22 haploinsufficiency in myelodysplastic syndrome pathogenesis

    Jasmine C Wong, Kelley M Weinfurtner ... Kevin Shannon
    Immature hematopoietic cells from mice with a large segmental deletion found in human myeloid malignancies exhibit cardinal features of myelodysplastic syndrome.

    Social selectivity and social motivation in voles

    Annaliese K Beery, Sarah A Lopez ... Natalie S Bourdon
    Prairie and meadow voles show striking sex and species differences in social motivation to access conspecifics of different types (familiar versus unfamiliar and same-sex versus opposite-sex).

    Persistent effects of pair bonding in lung cancer cell growth in monogamous Peromyscus californicus

    Asieh Naderi, Elham Soltanmaohammadi ... Hippokratis Kiaris
    Monogamous rodents of the genus Peromyscus, upon disruption of pair bonds, acquire increased oncogenic activity.

    Correlated evolution between repertoire size and song plasticity predicts that sexual selection on song promotes open-ended learning

    Cristina M Robinson, Kate T Snyder, Nicole Creanza
    A longer birdsong-learning window evolves in response to sexual selection for song complexity and is associated with faster evolution of song performance characteristics.

    Stronger net selection on males across animals

    Lennart Winkler, Maria Moiron ... Tim Janicke
    Comparative study provides evidence that males are under stronger total selection compared to females.

    A Y-chromosome shredding gene drive for controlling pest vertebrate populations

    Thomas AA Prowse, Fatwa Adikusuma ... Joshua V Ross
    A Y-chromosome shredding gene drive that depletes the pool of XY males and effects mate limitation could be a viable tool for vertebrate pest control.
