Predation history has no effect on lateralized behavior in Brachyrhaphis rhabdophora.

Evolutionary biologists have grown increasingly interested in laterality, a phenomenon where bilaterally symmetrical organisms show a side bias in some trait. Lateralized behavior is particularly interesting because it is not necessarily tied to morphological asymmetry. What causes lateralized behavior remains largely unknown, although previous research in fishes suggest that fish might favor one eye over another to view potential food sources, mates, and to assess predation risk.

Does male gonopodial morphology affect male-female mating positioning in the livebearing fish Xenophallus umbratilis?

Xenophallus umbratilis is a freshwater livebearing fish that exhibits unique antisymmetry in the male gonopodium, which terminates in either a dextral or sinistral twist. This asymmetry in the gonopodium suggests that males might exhibit side-biased behavior when interacting with females to mate. We conducted two assays to assess the laterality of male and female mating interactions based on gonopodial morphology.

U.S. Army Parachute Mishap Fatalities: 2010-2015.

Despite the large number of U.S. military members who conduct parachuting operations, its inherent safety risks, and the introduction of a new military parachute in 2010, little has been published in the last decade on U.
