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...

The study utilises Foucault's work on ‘productive power’, the ‘practices of t... Read More about Productive power and the 'practices of the self' in contraceptive counselling.

Genetic evidence for female-biased dispersal and gene flow in a polygynous primate (2006)
Journal Article
Hammond, R. L., Handley, L. J. L., Winney, B. J., Bruford, M. W., & Perrin, N. (2006). Genetic evidence for female-biased dispersal and gene flow in a polygynous primate. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1585), 479-484. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2005.3257

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...
