Our new paper on the impact of testosterone on gene expression in the lizard genus Sceloporus was just published in the American Naturalist! We found that genes were more responsive to manipulated testosterone in males than females, but that the impact of testosterone was congruent between the sexes. These results have implications for our understanding of how the relationship between hormones and gene expression can evolve to produce diversity of sex-specific phenotypes. Congratulations to first author Chris Robinson, and check out the link to read the paper.
