This common cause is independent of the country, company or seniority of the individual(s) involved and can be linked to a universal human trait; cognitive biases. As the extent and impact of these biases is related to project pressure, the risk profile is heightened during rushes. On the ...
Sexual size dimorphism is ultimately the result of independent, sex-specific selection on body size. In mammals, male-biased sexual size dimorphism is the predominant pattern, and it is usually attributed to the polygynous mating system prevalent in most mammals. This sole explanation is unsatisfying...
The process of natural selection acting on traits related directly to mating or reproductive success. Sexual antagonism Conflict arising from traits that are beneficial to one sex but harmful to the other. Sex-biased genes A gene that is expressed predominantly or exclusively in one sex. Codon bia...
It is possible that this pattern reflects differences in either the essentiality or the level of sexual antagonism of these genes in the respective species. Such differences might correspond to genes with different rates of evolution related to sexual dimorphism in the avian brain, and might ...
When males are larger, it is not possible to separate the effects of larger size per se and other aspects of the male phenotype on vulnerability. Furthermore, offspring competition might favor the larger sex and thereby mask intrinsic, size-related effects. We studied sex-specific mortality in ...

Dispersal affects both social behavior and population structure and is therefore a key determinant of long-term population persistence. However, dispersal strategies and responses to spatial habitat alteration may differ between sexes. Here we analyzed spatial and temporal variation in ten polymorphic micro...

Jannelize Bessenger, a part-time vlogger from South Africa who has been living in China for more than five years, is aware of the inaccurate depiction of the country. She said before she came to China there was "not one positive thing" she knew about the country from media reports. ...
One interesting, and often discussed, aspect of mortality is the propensity for it to be sex-biased. This study investigated whether known physiological and behavioural indicators of piglet survival differed between the sexes and whether life history strategies (often reported in wild or feral ...
