      Demographic correlates of paternity confidence and pregnancy outcomes among Albuquerque men.
      TLDR
      Using self-reported data on paternity confidence in 3,360 pregnancies reported by men living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it is found that low paternity confidence is more common among unmarried couples and for unplanned pregnancies, and that men are more likely not to state paternity confidence if a pregnancy is unplanned.

      Human sperm competition: testis size, sperm production and rates of extrapair copulations
      TLDR
      It is found that sperm competition is an important selection pressure operating in human populations and that the within-population frequency distribution of testis size reflects a balanced polymorphism between men who specialize in sperm competition through EPCs and men who are monogamous.

      Surnames and the Y chromosome.
      TLDR
      A randomly ascertained sample of males with the surname "Sykes" was typed with four Y-chromosome microsatellites, which points to a single surname founder for extant Sykes males, even though written sources had predicted multiple origins. Expand
      Estimating the influence of body mass index (BMI) on mortality using offspring BMI as an instrumental variable
      TLDR
      Information from the offspring is used to approximate parental BMIs, using offspring BMI as a proxy for parental BMI, to suggest that the apparent adverse consequences of low BMI are considerably overestimated and adverse effects of overweight are underestimated in conventional epidemiological studies.

      The frequency of misattributed paternity in Sweden is low and decreasing: A nationwide cohort study.
      TLDR
      The frequency of misattributed paternity in Sweden was estimated at 1.7% in both a frequentist Poisson model and a Bayesian Gibbs model, which is similar to the rates in other West-European populations. Expand
      Molecular insights into the divergence and diversity of post-testicular maturation strategies
      TLDR
      Here, literature pertaining to the nature and the physiological role of epididymal maturation and subsequent capacitation in comparative vertebrate taxa including representative species from the avian, reptilian, and mammalian lineages are reviewed. Expand
      Association between parental autoimmune disease and atopic dermatitis in their offspring: a matched case–control study
      TLDR
      A large number of patients with atopic dermatitis in their children have parents who have suffered from atopic disease themselves, and the associations between this disease and their parents' autoimmune diseases are unknown. Expand
      Testosterone‐dependent facial and body traits predict men's sociosexual attitudes and behaviors
      TLDR
      This work investigated the relationship of muscle mass and facial masculinity with attitudes and behaviors reflecting ST and LT mating tactics and considered condition‐dependent traits reflecting the effects of testosterone. Expand

      The cystic fibrosis gene: medical and social implications for heterozygote detection.
      TLDR
      Implementation of population screening should be delayed until pilot studies that demonstrate its safety and effectiveness are completed, and preconception testing should be offered to adult relatives of cystic fibrosis patients as part of a comprehensive program following institutional review board approval.

      Mismatches in genetic markers in a large family study.
      TLDR
      Investigation of the frequency and implications of non-agreement, or mismatches, between observed and expected genetic marker phenotypes of husbands, wives, and children suggested that approximately 2.3% of the 2,839 tested children from these families were probably the result of infidelity, concealed adoption, or another event.
