My collaboration with Jay Jinsing Falk on MJ West-Eberhard's concept on #Cross-SexualTransfer is now in a more readable print version. It was great experience being part of an amazing symposium at #SICB2023 on Sex & Diversity. If you are interested in #SexDiversity #SexualSelection and #Evolution please give this a read. Can't wait for the finalized issue!

I think this can help explain #SexDiversity especially since we know the signals can vary due to environment and genetics at the individual level. Evolution may cause some variants to spread leading to population or species-wide #CrossSexualTransfer. A plastic response may also be favored as individuals can respond to new environments by adjusting trait values more typical of the other sex.

Today, after years of work, the American Naturalist has just accepted my proposed Ancestral Modulation Hypothesis in #SexDiversity, #SexualSelection, and #CrossSexualTransfer as a perspective and synthesis. This framework will guide my research can be used across a range of studies on sex-bias and regulation and explain the diversity we see. It was built with the help and guidance of my post-doctoral mentor and coauthor Suzy Renn. https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/725438
