Sexual Dimorphism in the Age of Genomics: How, When, Where

In mammals, sex chromosomes start Trousers to program autosomal gene expression and epigenetic patterns very soon after fertilization.Yet whether the resulting sex differences are perpetuated throughout development and how they connect to the sex-specific expression patterns in adult tissues is not known.There is a dearth of information on the timi

Change in phenotypic plasticity of a morphological defence in Daphnia galeata (Crustacea: Cladocera) in a selection experiment

Some water fleas Daphnia change their head morphology to reduce predation risk in response to chemical substances (kairomones) released from larvae of the invertebrate predator Chaoborus (Insecta: Diptera).We tested for evidence of the costs associated with elongation of the head spine in Daphnia galeata and the consequences of these costs on the i
