Abstract:
... In some butterfly species males attach a large external mating plug termed a sphragis to the female abdomen during mating. This is derived from male accessory secretions and covers the female ostium bursae and surrounding areas, thus preventing or delaying remating. Specimens of all 12 species of the genera Zerynthia, Allancastria and Bhutanitis (Lepidoptera: papilionidae), which form a natural cl ...

Tomarus rosettae (Endrödi, 1968) is proposed as a junior synonym of Tomarus pumilus (Prell, 1937). The recently designated subspecies Tomarus maimon fossator Burmeister, 1847 is a synonym of its nominal species. New records are provided for the following species: Toma ...

Abstract:
... Seminal fluid proteins elicit several post-mating physiological changes in mated Drosophila melanogaster females. Some of these changes persist for over a week after mating because the seminal protein that causes these changes, the Sex Peptide (SP), binds to sperm that are stored in the female reproductive tract. SP's sperm binding is mediated by a network of at least eight seminal proteins. We sh ...

Mandrill females preferentially groomed high‐ranking individuals, but low‐ranking females were less able ...

Abstract:
... The present study investigates the joint impact of the service failure mode (interpersonal service versus self-service technology) and gender on consumers’ intention to voice their complaints. Results from a quasi-experiment suggest that female consumers are more likely to voice their dissatisfaction following a self-service technology failure rather than an interpersonal failure. However, the ser ...

Previously, we identified early developmental exposure to growth hormone (GH) as the requisite organizer responsible for programming the masculinization of the hepatic cytochromes P450 (CYP)-dependent drug metabolizing enzymes (Das et al., 2014, 2017). In spite of the generally held dogma that mammalian feminization requires no hormonal imprinting, numerous reports that the sex-dependent regulatio ...

Abstract:
... Producing entire male pigs entails a risk of boar taint in the meat due to increased levels of the compounds skatole and androstenone in the carcass. Allowing meat from entire male pigs to be marketed and sold together with meat from castrates and female pigs increases the risk of consumers being dissatisfied due to boar tainted samples. To reduce this risk, it is necessary to set sorting limits f ...
