Sexually Dimorphic Risk Mitigation Strategies in Rats
The scientific understanding of fear and anxiety-in both normal and pathological forms-is presently limited by a predominance of studies that use male animals and Pavlovian fear conditioning-centered paradigms that restrict and assess specific behaviors (e.g., freezing) over brief sampling periods and overlook the broader contributions of the spatiotemporal context to an animal's behavioral res...
متن کاملSexually dimorphic swallows have higher extinction risk
The effect of sexual selection on extinction risk remains unclear. In theory, sexual selection can lead to both increase and decrease extinction probability depending on the ecology of the study system. Thus, combining different groups might obscure patterns that can be found in groups that share similar ecological features. Using phylogenetic comparative analysis, we studied sexual plumage dim...
متن کاملEvolution of sexually dimorphic longevity in humans
Why do humans live longer than other higher primates? Why do women live longer than men? What is the significance of the menopause? Answers to these questions may be sought by reference to the mechanisms by which human aging might have evolved. Here, an evolutionary hypothesis is presented that could answer all three questions, based on the following suppositions. First, that the evolution of i...
متن کاملSexually antagonistic epigenetic marks that canalize sexually dimorphic development.
The sexes share the same autosomal genomes, yet sexual dimorphism is common due to sex-specific gene expression. When present, XX and XY karyotypes trigger alternate regulatory cascades that determine sex-specific gene expression profiles. In mammals, secretion of testosterone (T) by the testes during foetal development is the master switch influencing the gene expression pathways (male vs. fem...
متن کاملBax and Sexually Dimorphic Motoneuron Death
In usual parlance, “action potential” is synonymous with all-or-none, with each event a uniform shape. In this view, the large, but brief, membrane conductance change associated with an action potential momentarily shunts incoming synaptic charge and thus “resets” the membrane, as depicted in simple “integrate and fire” neuronal models. However, as de Polavieja et al. show this week, the conduc...
