Can mechanistic constraints on recombination reestablishment explain the long-term maintenance of degenerate sex chromosomes? by Lenormand, Thomas, Roze, Denis

“…This long-term maintenance has been little investigated. In the long term, recombination suppression may be maintained for selective reasons (e.g., involving the emergence of nascent dosage compensation), or due to mechanistic constraints preventing the reestablishment of recombination, for instance when complex chromosomal rearrangements evolve on the Y. …”

Facultative parthenogenesis: a transient state in transitions between sex and obligate asexuality in stick insects? by Larose, Chloé, Lavanchy, Guillaume, Freitas, Susana, Parker, Darren J., Schwander, Tanja

“…Obligately parthenogenetic Timema have also lost all heterozygosity, suggesting that the transition to obligate parthenogenesis did not require a modification of the proximate mechanism, but rather involved a gradual increase in frequency. We speculate that facultative parthenogenesis may often be transient and be replaced by obligate strategies (either sex or parthenogenesis) because of a trade-off between the efficiency of the two reproductive modes. …”

Lower urinary dysfunction as a long-term effect of childhood vincristine treatment, with potential influences by sex and dose by Nao Iguchi, Ali Teimouri, Duncan T. Wilcox, Anna P. Malykhina, Nicholas G. Cost

“…Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the late effects of systemic VCR exposure on LUT physiology and the underlying mechanisms, focusing on dosage and male-sex, employing juvenile CD-1 mice as a model. Male mice subjected to VCR exhibited augmented functional bladder capacity accompanied by frequent non-void contractions during awake cystometry, alongside mast cell accumulation within the bladder, compared to the saline-treated control group. …”

Body mass change over winter is consistently sex-specific across roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) populations by Hewison, A.J. Mark, Bonnot, Nadège C., Gaillard, Jean-Michel, Kjellander, Petter, Lemaitre, Jean-François, Morellet, Nicolas, Pellerin, Maryline

“…In most polygynous vertebrates, males must allocate energy to growing secondary sexual characteristics, such as ornaments or weapons, that they require to attract and defend potential mates, impacting body condition and potentially entailing fitness costs. We investigated sex differences in over winter body mass change across five intensively monitored populations of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) with markedly contrasting environmental conditions. …”
