American Scientist: Prenatal Hormone Exposure and Sexual Variation

This article, originally published in American Scientist, postulates that the position of male and female pups, in relation to each other, determines their characteristics via testosterone and pregosterone
As in, a female between 2 males is masculined, so on, so forth.

To get this article, you have to buy it from the magazine as a PDF.

Does anyone have a copy they could PM or email?
Or a link to where it has been re-printed?

I would be very very grateful

Many many thanks

I may be able to access it... am at home now, so a bit trickier (but I'll try), shouldn't be a problem in work tomorrow though if you want to PM me your email.

>As in, a female between 2 males is masculined, so on, so forth.

I'm not sure I buy into the theory because I had an extremely feminine bitch who was the only bitch in her litter with 6 brothers.

brilliant CVL

doing so now

its the placement inside the womb, so she may have not been positioned between 2 males

Well I've got it, but it's a bit odd... no PDF version through our subscription, only HTML... so I've been able to copy and paste it to a word document, but only the text has copied across (not the figures), so if you want I can email you the word document with the text, and if you want the figures I can have a fiddle and see if I can send them on separately. 
HTH!

that would be great, many thanks

>so she may have not been positioned between 2 males

Unless she was in a horn all by herself, she'd certainly have been beside at least one dog. Seeing that each puppy is isolated in its own individual sac I'm not sure how much contact they would have with each other's hormones - but then I'm not a scientist!

good points, but i havent read it yet.

but positioning has to be between 2 males, not just next to one male

and vice versa
