The work is published August 28 in&nbsp;<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/desc.12725"><em>Developmental Science</em></a>.&nbsp;</p> August 28, 2018 - 9:58am Andy Fell /news/training-parents-referred-cps-improves-toddler%E2%80%99s-physiological-regulation Pigeon Study Takes on Sexism in Science /news/pigeon-study-takes-sexism-science <p>In experimental research, scientists tend to assume that — unless they are looking specifically at reproduction or sexual behavior — male and female animals are alike, and mostly use males. But a new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the University of New Hampshire, published April 18 in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/srep45125"><em>Scientific Reports</em></a>, shows surprisingly big differences in tissue gene expression between male and female rock doves.</p> April 18, 2017 - 5:31pm Andy Fell /news/pigeon-study-takes-sexism-science
