Multiple Roles of the Y Chromosome in the Biology of Drosophila melanogaster by Roberto Piergentili

“…Nonetheless, a more accurate analysis reveals that this chromosome can influence several complex phenotypes: (1) it has a role in the fertility of both sexes and viability of males when over-represented; (2) it can unbalance the intracellular nucleotide pool; (3) it can interfere with the gene expression either by recruiting proteins involved in chromatin remodeling (PEV) or, to a higher extent, by influencing the expression of up to 1,000 different genes, probably by changing the availability of transcription factors; (4) it plays a major role (up to 50%) in the resistance to heat-induced male sterility; (5) it affects the behavior; and (6) it plays a role in genetic imprinting. …”

How do crime and neighborhood environment affect transit ridership? Evidence from five metropolitan cities in the Texas Triangle by Qian He, Jianling Li

“…Alongside internal service characteristics such as average headways and service frequency, the neighborhood environment context of transit-adjacent areas has been shown to affect ridership in many ways, with neighborhood crime being a major concern. Although literature recognizes the negative impact of crime on transit ridership, however, the roles of the neighborhood environment and the quality of transit service in affecting ridership have been less considered. …”
