Are women more engaged in collaborative research?

Charles S. Hendricksen of the University of Washinton writes in a comment to the post "A female road of science": It has been my personal experience that women are more inclined to engage in collaborative efforts. In my dissertation research on a Web environment for distributive collaborative research, I spent some time attempting to gather research that supported that view. I found no social science research that supported that view, but found much unsupported opinion in the business literature. Has anyone found good evidence?
