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

Evolution of correlated complexity in the radically different courtship signals of birds-of-paradise
bioRxiv, 2018 Ornaments used in courtship often vary wildly among species, reflecting the evolutionary interplay between mate preference functions and the constraints imposed by natural selection.

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.

Courtship and mating behaviour of manta rays Mobula alfredi and M. birostris in the Maldives.
Journal of Fish Biology, 2018 The aim of this 14 year study was to elucidate the entire courtship and mating behaviour of manta rays Mobula alfredi and M. birostris using behavioural observations, video and photographic records.

Herpetologica, 2019 Prolonged and complex courtship behaviors, involving tactile, acoustic, and visual signals, are common in Neotropical poison frogs (Dendrobatidae). Courtship is an important precursor to mating, but courtship components vary across species.

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 ...
