The goal of sex and gender analysis is to promote rigorous, reproducible and responsible
science. Incorporating sex and gender analysis into experimental design has enabled …

Sexual reproduction is prevalent across diverse taxa. However, sex-determination
mechanisms are so diverse that even closely related species often differ in sex …

Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

A diverse array of sex determination (SD) mechanisms, encompassing environmental to
genetic, have been found to exist among vertebrates, covering a spectrum from fixed SD …

The discovery of the Sry gene in 1990 triggered a revolution in our understanding of sex
determination. More recently, advances in non-model organisms have been fuelled by the …

Genomic analysis of many nonmodel species has uncovered an incredible diversity of sex
chromosome systems, making it possible to empirically test the rich body of evolutionary …

Although hundreds of plant lineages have independently evolved dioecy (that is, separation
of the sexes), the underlying genetic basis remains largely elusive. Here we show that …

The brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are a group of multicellular heterokonts that are
ubiquitous in today's oceans. Large brown algae from multiple orders are the foundation to …

Dioecy, the presence of male and female individuals, has evolved independently in multiple
flowering plant lineages,–. Although theoretical models for the evolution of dioecy, such as …

Males and females often differ in their fitness optima for shared traits that have a shared
genetic basis, leading to sexual conflict. Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes …
