Adrenomedullin (AM) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are related peptides with distinct pharmacological profiles. Calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR, now known as CL) can function as either an AM receptor or a CGRP receptor, when cotra...

Genetic evidence for female-biased dispersal and gene flow in a polygynous primate (2006)
Journal Article

Many models of sex-biased dispersal predict that the direction of sex-bias depends upon a species' mating system. In agreement with this, almost all polygynous mammals show male-biased dispersal whereas largely monogamous birds show female-biased dis...
