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.

Turning males on: activation of male courtship behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The innate sexual behaviors of Drosophila melanogaster males are an attractive system for elucidating how complex behavior patterns are generated. The potential for male sexual behavior in D. melanogaster is specified by the fruitless (fru) and doublesex

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Sleep is conserved across species, and it is believed that a fixed amount of sleep is needed for normal neurobiological functions. Sleep rebound follows sleep deprivation; however, continuous sleep deprivation for longer durations is believed to be ...

Cell Reports, 2014 How do evolved genetic changes alter the nervous system to produce different patterns of behavior? We address this question using Drosophila male courtship behavior, which is innate, stereotyped, and evolves rapidly between species. D.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The maintenance of reproductive isolation in the face of gene flow is a particularly contentious topic, but differences in reproductive behavior may provide the key to explaining this phenomenon.

Courtship behaviour reveals temporal regularity is a critical social cue in mouse communication
eLife, 2023 While animals navigating the real world face a barrage of sensory input, their brains evolved to perceptually compress multidimensional information by selectively extracting the features relevant for survival.

Both male and female identity influence variation in male signalling effort
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Male sexual displays play an important role in sexual selection by affecting reproductive success. However, for such displays to be useful for female mate choice, courtship should vary more among than within individual males. In this regard, a

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Although females are traditionally thought of as the choosy sex, there is increasing evidence in many species that males will preferentially court or mate with certain females over others when given a choice.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Precopulatory courtship plays an essential role in the insemination process and influences postcopulatory behavior between males and females. Male precopulatory oral stimulation of female genitals is rare for invertebrates.

Evolution of Mechanisms that Control Mating in Drosophila Males
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Genetically wired neural mechanisms inhibit mating between species because even naive animals rarely mate with other species. These mechanisms can evolve through changes in expression or function of key genes in sensory pathways or central ...
