Noise Affects Multimodal Communication During Courtship in a Marine Fish

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Selection pressures on signals can be substantially modified by a changing environment, but we know little about how modified selection pressures act on multimodal signals.

Multimodal communication in courting fiddler crabs reveals male performance capacities [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
Courting males often perform different behavioural displays that demonstrate aspects of their quality. Male fiddler crabs, Uca sp., are well known for their repetitive claw-waving display during courtship.

Reproductive ethogram and mate selection in captive wild Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis)

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2016
Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) have a high potential for aquaculture that is hampered by reproductive behavioural problems. These problems result in limited breeder participation in spawning.

Neural Mechanisms Underlying the Disruption of Male Courtship Behavior by Adult Exposure to Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate in Mice

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 2017
Background: Courtship behavior plays a critical role in attracting females and reproduction success. However, the effects of exposure to a ubiquitous contaminant di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on these behaviors and, in particular, on courtship ...

Hormonal modulation of pheromone detection enhances male courtship success

open access: yesNeuron, 2016
SUMMARY During the lifespans of most animals, reproductive maturity and mating activity are highly coordinated. In Drosophila melanogaster, for instance, male fertility increases with age and older males are known to have a copulation advantage over ...

Longitudinal Changes in Adiposity After a Youth Sport‐Related Knee Injury: Informing Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis Prevention

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Youth who experience a sport‐related knee injury have elevated odds of becoming overweight or developing obesity in 3 to 10 years, compounding their risk for posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). To inform prevention strategies, this study compared patterns of adiposity change between youth with a sport‐related knee injury and uninjured youth ...

Slip Localization Intensification Mediated by Grain Boundary Sliding in a Polycrystalline Nickel‐Based Superalloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The temperature dependence of fatigue behavior in nickel‐based superalloys is investigated through high‐resolution measurements of plastic localization. While increasing temperature reduces localization and enhances fatigue performance in René 88DT, Inconel 718 exhibits a sharp degradation at intermediate temperature due to intensified slip ...

An automatic system for recognizing fly courtship patterns via an image processing method

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions
Fruit fly courtship behaviors composed of a series of actions have always been an important model for behavioral research. While most related studies have focused only on total courtship behaviors, specific courtship elements have often been ...

Modulation of sleep-courtship balance by nutritional status in Drosophila

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Sleep is essential but incompatible with other behaviors, and thus sleep drive competes with other motivations. We previously showed Drosophila males balance sleep and courtship via octopaminergic neurons that act upstream of courtship-regulating P1 ...
