Abstract Sex-based differences in animal microbiota are increasingly recognized as of biological importance. While most biomass is found aquatic ecosystems and many water-dwelling species high economic ecological value, sex rarely included an explanatory variable studies the microbiota. In this opinion piece, we argue for greater consideration host studying animals, emphasizing advancements tha...

This question could be asked about sex: the verb or sex: the noun. In noun form, sex (or sex assigned at birth) is a term used to describe physical or genetic markers ? more specifically, hormones, genes, and reproductive organs. Biologically speaking, it's a myth that there are only two sexes, male and female. All physical sex characteristics ? from genitals, to hormones, to chromosomes ? fall...

Analytical models usually assume an additive sex effect by treating it as a covariate to identify genetic associations with sex-influenced traits. Their underlying assumptions are violated by ignoring interactions of sex with genetic factors and heterogeneous genetic effects by sex. Methods to deal with the problems are compared and discussed in this article. Especially, heterogeneity of geneti...
