When mice are transferred from a 'temperate' to a hot environment their reproductive output is reduced. To test whether this reduction could be countered by selection, three mouse lines, housed permanently as 32�C, were selected for increase in the numbers of young reared to 3 weeks when pairs were allowed to remain together for 12 weeks. In one line (R95) in which all fertile pairs contributed to the next generation, no improvement was observed in 19 generations. In two other lines (W21 and W34) in which only half the pairs in one generation contributed to the next, productivity returned, in about 12 generations, to almost the same levels as those of controls housed at 21�C.

Abstract. Applicant job pursuit intentions impact the composition of an organization’s applicant pool, thereby influencing selection outcomes. An example is the self-selection of women and men into gender-congruent jobs. Such self-selection contributes to a lack of gender diversity across a variety of occupations. We use person-job fit and the role congruity perspective of social role theory to explore job pursuit intentions. We present research from two cross-sectional survey studies (520 students, 174 working adults) indicating that at different points in their careers women and men choose to pursue gender-congruent jobs. For students, the choice was mediated by value placed on the job’s associated gender-congruent outcomes, but for working adults it was not. We offer suggestions for practitioners and researchers.
