Sexual motivation is reflected by stimulus-dependent motor cortex excitability [PDF]
, 2017 Sexual behavior involves motivational processes. Findings from both animal models and neuroimaging in humans suggest that the recruitment of neural motor networks is an integral part of the sexual response.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Animal models for bipolar disorder: from bedside to the cage
International Journal of Bipolar Disorders, 2017 Bipolar disorder is characterized by recurrent manic and depressive episodes. Patients suffering from this disorder experience dramatic mood swings with a wide variety of typical behavioral facets, affecting overall activity, energy, sexual behavior ...

Evolutionary pets: offspring numbers reveal speciation process in domesticated chickens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Since Darwin, the nature of the relationship between evolution and domestication has been debated. Evolution offers different mechanisms of selection that lead to adaptation and may end in the origin of new species as defined by the biological species ...

Multiple Signaling Functions Of Song In A Polymorphic Species With Alternative Reproductive Strategies [PDF]
, 2017 Vocal traits can be sexually selected to reflect male quality, but may also evolve to serve additional signaling functions. We used a long-term dataset to examine the signaling potential of song in dimorphic white-throated sparrows (Zonotrichia ...

The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2011 ABSTRACTIntroductionFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects 33–48% of women. Female rats with low sexual activity might model FSD.AimIn this study, we have investigated whether in a population of normal female rats, subpopulations of rats exist with different levels of sexual behavior.MethodsSexually experienced, intact, estradiol-primed female rats ...

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.
