Sexually Monomorphic Maps and Dimorphic Responses in Rat Genital Cortex
Mammalian external genitals show sexual dimorphism [1, 2] and can change size and shape upon sexual arousal. Genitals feature prominently in the oldest pieces of figural art [3] and phallic depictions of penises informed psychoanalytic thought about sexuality [4, 5]. Despite this longstanding interest, the neural representations of genitals are still poorly understood [6]. In somatosensory cort...
متن کاملEvolution of sexual size monomorphism: the influence of passive mate guarding.
Some species have potential for intense mate competition yet exhibit little or no sexual size dimorphism, despite predictions from sexual selection theory. Using a conceptual model, we show the conditions for which passive mate guarding with copulatory plugs can be an alternative and more successful strategy to active (direct) guarding, reducing selection pressure on large male size. The model ...
متن کاملMonomorphism, male-male competition, and mechanisms of sexual dimorphism.
Reconstructing sociosexual variables such as mating system and social organization from fragmentary fossils and other sources of data remains a major challenge in understanding the evolution of behavioral and morphological diversity within the primate order. Often, a particular mating system can lead to the evolution of novel behavior (e.g., ‘‘competitive’’ paternal care in tamarins; Garber, 19...
متن کاملlanguage learning strategies and vocabulary size of iranian efl learners
learning a second or foreign language requires the manipulation of four main skills, namely, listening, reading, speaking, and writing which lead to effective communication. it is obvious that vocabulary is an indispensible part of any communication, so without a vocabulary, no meaningful communication can take place and meaningful communication relies heavily on vocabulary. one fundamental fac...
There ’ s no contest : Human sex differences are sexually selected
An evolutionary psychological perspective drawing on sexual selection theory can better explain sex differences in aggression and violence than can social constructionist theories. Moreover, there is accumulating evidence that, in accordance with predictions derived from sexual selection theory, men modulate their willingness to engage in risky and violent confrontations in response to cues to ...
