In theory, unisexual taxa have an advantage over ecologically similar bisexual species because unisexuals produce twice as many daughters and, thus, should quickly outcompete coexisting bisexuals in any given population. For sperm-dependent unisexual (gynogenetic) species, stable coexistence with their bisexual sperm donors can be postulated if male mate choice puts unisexual females at a disad...

The role of zidovudine and other antiretroviral agents in the pathogenesis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related lymphomas has been somewhat controversial. In an attempt to elucidate the precise role of antiretroviral agents in the subsequent development of AIDS-related lymphoma, we performed a population-based, case-control study of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositiv...

Health inequalities exist for lesbian and bisexual women, largely related to experiences of discrimination, homophobia and heterosexism. These issues can lead to avoidance of routine healthcare and screening and reduced disclosure of sexual orientation within consultations.

The aim of the experiment was to compare the effectiveness of sex reversal in mature female rainbow trout using 17 -methyltestosterone (6 ppm-MT) and 11 -hydroxyandrostenedione (20 ppm-OHA). Hormones were administered with the first exogenous feed for up to 60 days. Among the fish treated with OHA, 95% females were reversed into mature neo-males and 1.6% to bisexual individuals. Among the fish ...
