On the systematic bias in skeletal sexing.
Comparison of a large series of sexed adult skeletal populations and a similar series of adult pre-industrial peoples shows that there is a regular and systematic bias in the sexing of adult skeletons. This bias, which is about 12% in favor of males, is due to the nature of secondary sex characteristics in bone. It should be corrected in skeletal series before demographic analysis is made of th...
متن کاملSpecies identification, molecular sexing and genotyping using non-invasive approaches in two wild bovids species: Bos gaurus and Bos javanicus.
Since the second Indochina war, habitat destruction and overhunting has resulted in fragmentation of the remaining populations of Bos javanicus and B. gaurus. Nowadays, both species are in serious danger, especially the gaur. In Vietnam, where these species have become almost impossible to capture in the wild, non-invasive investigations are the only feasible approach to obtain data on populati...
متن کاملApplication of Two Complementary Molecular Sexing Methods for East Asian Bird Species
Numerous avian species are sexually monomorphic, especially nestlings, posing difficulties in determining their sex by morphological traits alone. Despite the difficulties, sex identification of birds is an essential part of ex situ conservation breeding programs for endangered species, and the sex of individuals is an integral component of information required for research concerning ecology, ...
متن کاملFlow cytometric sexing of spider sperm reveals an equal sperm production ratio in a female-biased species.
Producing equal amounts of male and female offspring has long been considered an evolutionarily stable strategy. Nevertheless, exceptions to this general rule (i.e. male and female biases) are documented in many taxa, making sex allocation an important domain in current evolutionary biology research. Pinpointing the underlying mechanism of sex ratio bias is challenging owing to the multitude of...
متن کاملTwo Rumex species from contrasting hydrological niches regulate flooding tolerance through distinct mechanisms.
Global climate change has increased flooding events, which affect both natural vegetation dynamics and crop productivity. The flooded environment is lethal for most plant species because it restricts gas exchange and induces an energy and carbon crisis. Flooding survival strategies have been studied in Oryza sativa, a cultivated monocot. However, our understanding of plant adaptation to natural...
