Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 119, Pp. e2202874119. doi:10.1073/pnas.2202874119
Testosterone influences how animals devote energy and time toward reproduction, including opposing demands of mating and competition versus parenting. Reflecting this, testosterone often declines in new fathers and lower testosterone is linked to greater...

Evol Med Public Health, 10, 1, Pp. 47-58,. doi:10.1093/emph/eoac003
Consistent with evolutionarily theorized costs of reproduction (CoR), reproductive history in women is associated with life expectancy and susceptibility to certain cancers, autoimmune disorders and metabolic disease. Immunological changes originating...
