    Abstract In males of many vertebrate species, sexual selection has led to the evolution of sexually dimorphic traits, which are often developmentally controlled by androgen signaling involving androgen response elements (AREs). Evolutionary changes in the number and genomic locations of AREs can modify patterns of receptor regulation and potentially alter gene expression. Here, we use recently sequenced primate genomes to evaluate the hypothesis that the strength of sexual selection is related to the genome-wide number of AREs in a diversifying lineage. In humans, we find a higher incidence of AREs near male-biased genes and androgen-responsive genes when compared with randomly selected genes from the genome. In a set of primates, we find that gains or losses of AREs proximal to genes are correlated with changes in male expression levels and the degree of sex-biased expression of those genes. In a larger set of primates, we find that an increase in one indicator of sexual selection, canine size sexual dimorphism, is correlated with genome-wide ARE counts. Our results suggest that the responsiveness of the genome to androgens in humans and their close relatives has been shaped by sexual selection that arises from competition among males for mating access to females.

    Abstract In her influential book "Developmental Plasticity and Evolution," Mary Jane West-Eberhard introduced the concept of cross-sexual transfer, where traits expressed in one sex in an ancestral species become expressed in the other sex. Despite its potential ubiquity, we find that cross-sexual transfer has been under-studied and under-cited in the literature, with only a few experimental papers that have invoked the concept. Here, we aim to reintroduce cross-sexual transfer as a powerful framework for explaining sex variation and highlight its relevance in current studies on the evolution of sexual heteromorphism (different means or modes in trait values between the sexes). We discuss several exemplary studies of cross-sexual transfer that have been published in the past two decades, further building on West-Eberhard's extensive review. We emphasize two scenarios as potential avenues of study, within-sex polymorphic and sex-role reversed species, and discuss the evolutionary and adaptive implications. Lastly, we propose future questions to expand our understanding of cross-sexual transfer, from nonhormonal mechanisms to the identification of broad taxonomic patterns. As evolutionary biologists increasingly recognize the nonbinary and often continuous nature of sexual heteromorphism, the cross-sexual framework has important utility for generating novel insights and perspectives on the evolution of sexual phenotypes across diverse taxa.

    Abstract Significance: In the real word, visual tasks may be concurrent with other activity that imposes mental load. Although the brain's capacity to process information is limited, attention can improve visual performance by selectively allocating processing resources. Therefore, measuring visual performance under such circumstances can reflect patients' vision more accurately.
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nonvisual task-induced mental load on visual performance at both attended and unattended locations in stimulus-driven captured attention.
    Methods: Visual function was measured with an orientation discrimination task for Gabor patches with contrasts of 10, 15, 30, 50, and 80%. Three attentional conditions (valid-cue, invalid-cue, and neutral-cue) were randomly interleaved within runs. To modulate mental load, the visual task was performed either with or without a simultaneous auditory n-back task (two-back for maximum mental load and zero-back to control for the effect of having to perform a simultaneous task).
    Results: Our result showed that the effect of mental load on correct responses was significant ( P = .02). Correct responses decreased significantly during the two-back task when compared with the baseline condition ( P = .03), but there was no significant difference between baseline and zero-back conditions ( P = .06). The effect of attention and spatial frequencies on the percentage of correct responses was significant ( P < .001). There was no significant interaction between mental load and spatial frequency, contrast level, or attention ( P > .05).
    Conclusions: Mental load had a similar decreasing effect on attended and unattended visual stimuli. This may be due to a generalized effect on processing resources upstream to where spatial attention is allocated.

    Abstract Policy Points Current efforts to measure and improve trust in health care focus on changing patients' attitudes rather than measuring and improving the trustworthiness of health care organizations and systems. We present a conceptual model to understand and explain the constructs of trust and trustworthiness in the context of health care through the application of existing theories of human behavior. Developing and publicly reporting measures that can enable patients, particularly from historically marginalized groups, to better assess the trustworthiness of providers is necessary to promote health care equity.
