eLife, 2020 For successful mating, a male animal must execute effective courtship behaviors toward a receptive target sex, which is female. Whether the courtship execution capability and upregulation of courtship toward females are specified through separable sex ...

Neuropeptide F regulates courtship in Drosophila through a male-specific neuronal circuit
eLife, 2019 Male courtship is provoked by perception of a potential mate. In addition, the likelihood and intensity of courtship are influenced by recent mating experience, which affects sexual drive.

Memory Elicited by Courtship Conditioning Requires Mushroom Body Neuronal Subsets Similar to Those Utilized in Appetitive Memory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 An animal's ability to learn and to form memories is essential for its survival. The fruit fly has proven to be a valuable model system for studies of learning and memory. One learned behavior in fruit flies is courtship conditioning.

Phase-Specific Vocalizations of Male Mice at the Initial Encounter during the Courtship Sequence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Mice produce ultrasonic vocalizations featuring a variety of syllables. Vocalizations are observed during social interactions. In particular, males produce numerous syllables during courtship.

Female mice ultrasonically interact with males during courtship displays
eLife, 2015 During courtship males attract females with elaborate behaviors. In mice, these displays include ultrasonic vocalizations. Ultrasonic courtship vocalizations were previously attributed to the courting male, despite evidence that both sexes produce ...

The role of intrasexual competition on the evolution of male-male courtship display: a systematic review [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Evidence of male-male courtship display is widespread across the animal kingdom. Yet, its function and evolutionary origin remain unclear. Here, we hypothesise that male-male courtship display evolved in response to selection pressure exerted ...

Intense light unleashes male–male courtship behaviour in wild-type Drosophila
Open Biology, 2023 Drosophila courtship studies have elucidated several principles of the neurogenetic organization of complex behaviour. Through an integration across sensory modalities, males perform stereotypic patterns of chasing, courtship song production and ...

A nutrient-specific gut hormone arbitrates between courtship and feeding
Nature, 2022 Animals must set behavioural priority in a context-dependent manner and switch from one behaviour to another at the appropriate moment1–3. Here we probe the molecular and neuronal mechanisms that orchestrate the transition from feeding to courtship in ...

Sexual arousal gates visual processing during Drosophila courtship
Nature, 2021 Long-lasting internal arousal states motivate and pattern ongoing behaviour, enabling the temporary emergence of innate behavioural programs that serve the needs of an animal, such as fighting, feeding, and mating.

Vibrational courtship disruption of Nilaparvata lugens using artificial disruptive signals
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål; Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is a piercing-sucking pest that causes serious damage to rice plants by sucking the phloem sap from the plants and transmitting viruses. During courtship, the BPH vibrates its
