Ultraviolet-based female preferences in a viviparous fish by Garcia, C, de Perera, T

Skewed X-inactivation is common in the general female population by Shvetsova, E, Sofronova, A, Monajemi, R, Gagalova, K, Draisma, H, White, S, Santen, G, Chuva De Sousa Lopes, S, Heijmans, B, Van Meurs, J, Jansen, R, Franke, L, Kiełbasa, S, Den Dunnen, J, 'T Hoen, P, Palamara, P

“…X-inactivation is a well-established dosage compensation mechanism ensuring that X-chromosomal genes are expressed at comparable levels in males and females. Skewed X-inactivation is often explained by negative selection of one of the alleles. …”

Sumatriptan lowers plasma prolactin in healthy female volunteers. by Whale, R, Cowen, P

Schema and parental bonding in overweight and nonoverweight female adolescents. by Turner, H, Rose, K, Cooper, M

“…OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether family functioning and cognitions in a group of overweight female adolescents differ significantly from those in a group of normal weight female adolescents. …”

Social networks and social complexity in female-bonded primates by Lehmann, J, Andrews, K, Dunbar, R

“…This indicates that - contrary to expectation - females of species with large neocortices generally belong to only a few, small grooming cliques despite living in closely bonded groups. …”

Suicides in female prisoners in England and Wales, 1978-2004. by Fazel, S, Benning, R

“…We calculated, in narrow age bands, suicide rates for female prisoners compared with the general population between 1978 and 2004. …”

Tryptophan depletion decreases the recognition of fear in female volunteers. by Harmer, C, Rogers, R, Tunbridge, E, Cowen, P, Goodwin, G

“…RESULTS: Tryptophan depletion significantly impaired the recognition of fearful facial expressions in female, but not male, volunteers. This was specific since recognition of other basic emotions was comparable in the two groups. …”

Reducing female admissions to custody: Exploring the options at Sentencing by Roberts, J

“…Although women represent a small minority of the prison population in all nations, it has long been a concern that custody is overused with respect to female offenders. Reducing the number of women in prison has therefore emerged as a policy priority in many Western nations, including the United Kingdom. …”

Female Drosophila melanogaster respond to song-amplitude modulations by Brüggemeier, B, Porter, M, Vigoreaux, J, Goodwin, S

“…Males in numerous animal species use mating songs to attract females and intimidate competitors. We demonstrate that modulations in song amplitude are behaviourally relevant in the fruit fly Drosophila We show that Drosophilamelanogaster females prefer amplitude modulations that are typical of melanogaster song over other modulations, which suggests that amplitude modulations are processed auditorily by D. melanogaster Our work demonstrates that receivers can decode messages in amplitude modulations, complementing the recent finding that male flies actively control song amplitude. …”

Sperm and sex peptide stimulate aggression in female Drosophila by Bath, E, Bowden, S, Peters, C, Reddy, A, Tobias, J, Easton-Calabria, E, Seddon, N, Goodwin, S, Wigby, S

“…Female aggression towards other females is associated with reproduction in many taxa, and traditionally thought to be related to the protection or provisioning of offspring, such as through increased resource acquisition. …”

Forage quality and the costs of lactation for female gelada baboons by Dunbar, R, Hannah-Stewart, L, Dunbar, P

“…We suggest that the poor quantitative fit might be explained by the fact that food quality varies across time, so that females are forced to feed for longer to gain the same nutrient intake when quality is poor. …”

Male mounting alone reduces female promiscuity in the fowl. by Løvlie, H, Cornwallis, C, Pizzari, T

“…Female propensity to remate is often reduced after copulation, and a staggering diversity of highly derived male traits that discourage female promiscuity have been investigated. …”

Female feral fowl eject sperm of subdominant males. by Pizzari, T, Birkhead, T

“…Males can also use particular behaviours or structures to manipulate how females use sperm. However, the ability of females to bias sperm utilization in favour of preferred males independently of male manipulation has not been demonstrated. …”

Becoming the goddess: female subjectivity and the passion of the Goddess Radha by Frazier, J

“…In Indian culture Radha continues to serve as an exemplary model of female-neutral subjectivity for all persons - an active, non-substantial, shared, strong self that rationally embraces its (religious) passions. …”
