The paper investigates sex-reversed parental care in poison frogs, finding that female care propensity is influenced by partner cues and individual variation, with distinct gene expression patterns in non-caregiving females.

The paper develops statistical methods to analyze gene coexpression networks in small samples and applies them to guppies, finding network differences across developmental and evolutionary timescales.

This study examines the development of the glucocorticoid stress response in dyeing poison frog tadpoles and finds it develops early in ontogeny, differing from other species due to unique ecological pressures.

This study examines how timing of maternal glucocorticoid exposure affects offspring brain gene expression in wild red squirrels, finding timing-dependent effects on neural gene transcription.

The paper investigates neural activity differences in poison frog tadpoles that win, lose, or avoid fights, finding distinct patterns in brain regions associated with aggression.

The paper examines hormonal and neural correlates of parental care in poison frogs, finding that neural activity patterns, not hormones or gene expression, correlate with active parental behavior in both sexes.

The paper investigates convergent maternal provisioning in poison frogs, finding shared brain regions but distinct molecular mechanisms in nursing behavior.
