Inbreeding compromises floral traits and reduces pollinator visitation rates disproportionally in female relative to male individuals in a dioecious plant and may thus interfere with the equilibrium of a complex co-evolutionary plant-insect relationship.

A systematic experimental comparison of prosocial behavior in eight corvid species reveals sex-specific effects of cooperative breeding and colonial nesting, thereby adding important new insights regarding the evolution of prosociality.

Combining computational and experimental approaches reveals that the loss of a maternal transcription factor influences sex-biased differential splicing in the early zygotic transcriptome at genes that are critical for normal developmental processes.

A review of studies in the life sciences shows that inappropriate statistical approaches may distort conclusions on sex differences.

Prenatal stress is transmitted to infant development through cortisol, which imparts sex-specific effects on the development and connectivity of the amygdalae.

Identifying why statins differ from other major lipid modifiers has revealed a new modifiable target of intervention for cardiovascular disease relevant to both drug development and optimal statin use.

Mice exposed to complex early adversity show similar diffusion MRI changes to those reported in humans and sex-specific changes in connectivity that differentially affect contextual deficits in males and females.

Male and female mice react differently to social isolation but not to an acute physical stress.

Genomics-based evidence support population- and sex-specific selection of an epistatic interaction between genetic variants in ADCY9 and CETP, genes of pharmacogenetic importance in cardiovascular diseases.

Transient hormonal alterations during early critical developmental periods can have a crucial and long-lasting effect on lifespan in mice.
