DOI: 10.1007/s00265-017-2384-3
Abstract: Male body size affects access to mates in many animals. Attributes of sexual signals often correlate with body size due to physiological constraints on signal production. Larger males generally produce larger signals, but costs of… read more here.

Individuality, species-specific features, and female discrimination of male southern white rhinoceros courtship calls.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-021-01591-4
Abstract: Male vocalizations associated with courtship can play a key role in mate selection. They may help females obtain information about males' quality and identity and/or may contain species-specific properties that help prevent interspecies breeding. Despite… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10164-017-0513-0
Abstract: Research on male courtship behavior of moths has focused on documenting stereotyped sequences for successful copulation. We characterized successful male courtship behavior among 126 virgin mating pairs of Ostrinia nubilalis. Using Markov analysis, stereotypy indices,… read more here.

Courtship in Two Morphotypes of the Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) Cryptic Species Complex and their Implications for Understanding Mate Recognition

DOI: 10.1007/s10905-018-9697-6
Abstract: Ritualized courtship behaviors are used to recognize potential mates and behavioral patterns are inevitably different among populations that demonstrate reproductive incompatibility. We characterized and compared the courtship behaviors of two morphotypes of the cryptic species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2018.08.013
Abstract: Lucilia sericata is well known for causing myiasis in humans, livestock, pets and wildlife. It also vectors microbial pathogens, including paratuberculosis agents. This species can be exploited in maggot therapy to treat necrotic wounds, particularly… read more here.

Courtship diverges with foraging behaviour in artificially selected populations

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.07.016
Abstract: The sensory drive hypothesis proposes that natural selection on certain behaviours will alter sensory system properties and result in correlated evolution of unrelated behaviours reliant on that sensory system. Here, we used artificially selected populations… read more here.

Complex interactions between temperature, sexual signals and mate choice in a desert-dwelling jumping spider

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.10.010
Abstract: Environmental context is a crucial factor that influences sexual communication systems. Particularly in ectotherms, which cannot metabolically regulate their body temperature, temperature has an outsized effect on these intraspecific interactions. Using the desert-dwelling jumping spider… read more here.

Diffuse resistance courtship in the scorpion Rhopalurus rochai (Scorpiones: Buthidae)

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2016.11.017
Abstract: Male-female courtship signals are frequently subject to arms races, with patterns of behaviour evolving reciprocally to manipulate the reproductive output. Female resistance should be particularly effective when asymmetrical offspring care occurs under low and unpredictable… read more here.

Visual Projection Neurons Mediating Directed Courtship in Drosophila

DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2018.06.020
Abstract: Many animals rely on vision to detect, locate, and track moving objects. In Drosophila courtship, males primarily use visual cues to orient toward and follow females and to select the ipsilateral wing for courtship song.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-1053-7
Abstract: Mice emit sequences of ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) but little is known about the rules governing their temporal order and no consensus exists on the classification of USVs into syllables. To address these questions, we recorded… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2218956120
Abstract: The emergence of complex social interactions is predicted to be an important selective force in the diversification of communication systems. Parental care presents a key social context in which to study the evolution of novel… read more here.
