Sex peptide receptor-regulated polyandry modulates the balance of pre- and post-copulatory sexual selection in Drosophila by Morimoto, J, McDonald, G, Smith, E, Smith, D, Perry, J, Chapman, T, Pizzari, T, Wigby, S

“…Polyandry prolongs sexual selection on males by forcing ejaculates to compete for fertilisation. Recent theory predicts that increasing polyandry may weaken pre-copulatory sexual selection on males and increase the relative importance of post-copulatory sexual selection, but experimental tests of this prediction are lacking. …”

Novel embryo selection strategies-finding the right balance by Polyakov, A, Rozen, G, Gyngell, C, Savulescu, J

“…<p>The use of novel technologies in the selection of embryos during&nbsp;<em>in vitro</em>&nbsp;fertilisation (IVF) has the potential to improve the chances of pregnancy and birth of a healthy child. …”

A high-throughput assay for the identification of malarial transmission-blocking drugs and vaccines by Delves, M, Ramakrishnan, C, Blagborough, A, Leroy, D, Wells, T, Sinden, R

“…Using an ookinete-specific GFP reporter strain of the rodent parasite Plasmodium berghei, it has been possible to develop and validate a high biological complexity, high throughput bioassay that can rapidly, reproducibly and accurately evaluate the effect of transmission-blocking drugs or vaccines on the ability of host-derived gametocytes to undergo the essential onward steps of gamete formation, fertilisation and ookinete maturation. This assay may greatly accelerate the development of malaria transmission-blocking interventions. © 2012 Australian Society for Parasitology Inc.…”

An Exploration of Multilinguals’ Voice-Hearing Experiences by Rachel Rowan Olive, Jean-Marc Dewaele

“…Most also pre-dates developments in both voice-hearing and multilingualism research which highlight the complexity and dynamic nature of both phenomena and shows little cross-fertilisation between the two fields. This paper sits within this gap, presenting results from an in-depth interview study with ten UK-resident multilingual voice-hearers analysed via constructionist reflexive thematic analysis. …”

OUTCOME OF ADOPTIONS: HAVE COUPLES REALISED THEIR DREAM? by Wilfred van Delft, Trudie van Delft

“…Despite the wide use and success rate of ART (assisted reproductive technology) such as invitro fertilisation, artificial insemination with donor seed, gamete donation, embryo transfer andsurrogate motherhood, these technologies are not an option for many couples (fortechnical/biological/financial reasons and ethical/moral objections). …”

Mechanisms of prezygotic post-pollination reproductive barriers in plants by Ludi Wang, Dmitry A. Filatov

“…On the other hand, mating with close relatives, or self-fertilisation may lead to inbreeding depression. Thus, both too much or too little divergence may lead to problems and the organisms have to carefully choose mating partners to avoid both of these pitfalls. …”

Aspects on cultivation of vegetable soybean in Sweden – cultivars, soil requirements, inoculation and nitrogen contribution by Fredrik Fogelberg, Anna M. Mårtensson

“…Little nitrogen remains in the soil after harvest, resulting in a low risk of leaching but a need for nitrogen fertilisation of the following crop. Suitable vegetable soybean cultivars are available on the market and are preferred compared to cultivars intended for dry harvest. …”

Language in Language Evolution Research by Slawomir Wacewicz, Przemyslaw Zywiczynski, Stefan Hartmann, Michael Pleyer, Antonio Benítez-Burraco

“…We show how their breadth precludes a single common conceptualization of language but instead leads to a family resemblance pattern, which underwrites fruitful communication between these approaches, leading to cross-fertilisation and synergies.…”

Gametic selection favours polyandry and selfing. by Michael Francis Scott, Carl Mackintosh, Simone Immler

“…We model the bidirectional relationship between gametic selection and mating systems, focusing on variation in female mating frequency (monandry-polyandry) and self-fertilisation (selfing-outcrossing). First, we find that monandry and selfing both reduce the efficiency of gametic selection in removing deleterious alleles. …”

Time-lapse technology for embryo culture and selection by Kersti Lundin, Hannah Park

“…Culturing of human embryos in optimal conditions is crucial for a successful in vitro fertilisation (IVF) programme. In addition, the capacity to assess and rank embryos correctly for quality will allow for transfer of the potentially ‘best’ embryo first, thereby shortening the time to pregnancy, although not improving cumulative pregnancy and live birth rates. …”
