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 …

Conventional sex roles imply caring females and competitive males. The evolution of sex
role divergence is widely attributed to anisogamy initiating a self‐reinforcing process. The …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Recent decades have witnessed an explosion of theoretical and empirical studies of sex
allocation, transforming how we understand the allocation of resources to male and female …

One of the outstanding challenges for evolutionary biologists is to understand how
developmental plasticity can influence the evolutionary process. Developmental plasticity …

Sex differences in diseases involving oxidative and proteolytic stress are common, including
greater ischemic heart disease, Parkinson disease and stroke in men, and greater …

We aim to stimulate an ontogenetic approach to personalities. We explain the importance of
studying development for understanding proximate and ultimate aspects of personality and …

Sex allocation is a crucial life-history parameter in all sexual organisms. Over the last
decades a body of evolutionary theory, sex allocation theory, was developed, which has …

The worldwide effects of ocean acidification (OA) on marine species are a growing concern.
In temperate coastal seas, seaweeds are dominant primary producers that create complex …

Sex determination is a fundamental biological process, yet its mechanisms are remarkably
diverse,. In vertebrates, sex can be determined by inherited genetic factors or by the …
