Effect Sizes, Power, and Biases in Intelligence Research: A Meta-Meta-Analysis by Michèle B. Nuijten, Marcel A. L. M. van Assen, Hilde E. M. Augusteijn, Elise A. V. Crompvoets, Jelte M. Wicherts

“…We documented differences in average effect size and median estimated power between different types of intelligence studies (correlational studies, studies of group differences, experiments, toxicology, and behavior genetics). On average, across all meta-analyses (but not in every meta-analysis), we found evidence for small-study effects, potentially indicating publication bias and overestimated effects. …”

Genetic and Environmental Structure of Altruism Characterized by Recipients in Relation to Personality by Juko Ando, Tetsuya Kawamoto

“…Although there are many studies on its heterogeneity, only a few behavioral genetic studies have been conducted to examine different recipient types: family members favored by kin selection, the dynamic network of friends and acquaintances as direct reciprocity, and strangers as indirect reciprocity. …”

Serotonin control of thermotaxis memory behavior in nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. by Yinxia Li, Yunli Zhao, Xu Huang, Xingfeng Lin, Yuling Guo, Daoyong Wang, Chaojun Li, Dayong Wang

“…Moreover, serotonin released from the ADF sensory neurons might act through the G-protein-coupled serotonin receptors of SER-4 and SER-7 to regulate the thermotaxis memory behavior. Genetic analysis implies that serotonin might further target the insulin signaling pathway to regulate the thermotaxis memory behavior. …”

Characterization of Drosophila fruitless-gal4 transgenes reveals expression in male-specific fruitless neurons and innervation of male reproductive structures. by Billeter, J, Goodwin, S

“…The fruitless (fru) gene acts in the central nervous system (CNS) of Drosophila melanogaster to establish male sexual behavior. Genetic dissection of the locus has shown that one of the fru gene's promoter, P1, controls the spatial and temporal expression of male-specific FruM proteins critical to determining stereotypical male sexual behavior. …”

Beyond dual systems: A genetically-informed, latent factor model of behavioral and self-report measures related to adolescent risk-taking by K. Paige Harden, Natalie Kretsch, Frank D. Mann, Kathrin Herzhoff, Jennifer L. Tackett, Laurence Steinberg, Elliot M. Tucker-Drob

“…Most behavioral measures contained large amounts of task-specific variance; however, most genetic variance in each measure was shared with other measures of the corresponding factor. Behavior genetic analyses further indicated that genetic influences on cognitive dyscontrol overlapped nearly perfectly with genetic influences on IQ (rA = −0.91). …”

Olivares, Eugenio Sanfuentes, Miguel Castillo-Salazar, Rodrigo Hasbún, Eladio Rojas, Oscar Toro-Núñez, Hugo A. Benítez

“…Morphological structures were described according to current Eulophidae taxonomic keys, as well as additional traits, such as gall morphology and behavior. Genetic characterization was implemented using a phylogenetic approach, based on a 648 bp specific fragment of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I gene (<i>COI 5</i> region) obtained from collected specimens and available databases (Genbank, NCBI, and BOLDSystem). …”
