A number of conventional situation comedies -- about nuclear families encountering child-rearing challenges and battle-of-the-sexes conflicts between parents -- have emerged from years in the ratings wilderness to reclaim high rankings in the weekly Nielsen poll.
It can also help people who don't have a mental condition, but who are having issues with stress, sleep, sex, conflicts, life changes or anger, the Mayo Clinic said.
Examples where genes obtained sex-biased expression postduplication to resolve sex conflicts have only been reported in Drosophila and mice (Connallon and Clark 2011; Gallach and Betrán 2011; Chen et al. 2012).
The situation becomes even more complicated when we consider that multiple paternity exacerbates sibling rivalry, as well as sex conflicts, and offspring can potentially influence maternal investment and litter size (Royle et al. 2004; Drake et al. 2008).
By the way, this line of thinking lead to some early Christian groups believing that marriage itself is a sin, due to how sex was viewed (for more on this please consult April DeConick's "Holy Misogyny: Why Sex and Gender Conflicts in the Early Church Still Matter").
Some of the genes identified here as sex-specific genes are likely under sex-biased expression, potentially the result of sex conflict resolved at the level of gene expression.
By combining these new sequencing technologies our labs hope to gain insight into how these snake life-history ecotypes have evolved, as well as how sex-conflict genes evolve.
Equally interesting is that one gene known to be on the human X chromosome, CDX4, had female specific expression, had a TS/TV < 1, and a Ka/Ks > 1 suggesting it may be a sex-conflict gene that is quickly evolving in these snake populations.
The unequal investments in gametes by males and females leads to a conflict of interest between the sexes ("sexual conflict" [ 13, 14]).
This results in sex-biased conflicts between the queen and the workers with respect to the sex ratio, with workers preferring a more female biased sex ratio, and queens preferring equal investment in queens and males.
That book, as many of Ms. Douglas's later novels would, explored the epochal divide between the Old South and the New, examining vast, difficult subjects — race relations, tensions between the sexes, the conflict between the needs of the individual and those of the community — through the small, clear prism of domestic life.
