DOI: 10.1002/cne.25257
Abstract: Neuropeptides, including oxytocin‐like peptides, are a conserved group of hormones that regulate a wide range of social behaviors, including vocal communication. In the current study, we evaluate whether putative brain sites for the actions of… 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.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoz025
Abstract: Abstract Females must be able to perceive and assess male signals, especially when they occur simultaneously with those of other males. Previous studies show female Schizocosa ocreata wolf spiders display receptivity to isolated visual or… read more here.

The yellow gene regulates behavioural plasticity by repressing male courtship in Bicyclus anynana butterflies

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.2665
Abstract: Seasonal plasticity in male courtship in Bicyclus anynana butterflies is due to variation in levels of the steroid hormone 20E (20-hydroxyecdysone) during pupation. Wet season (WS) males have high levels of 20E and become active… read more here.

Divergent selection on behavioural and chemical traits between reproductively isolated populations of Drosophila melanogaster
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Evolutionary Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14007
Abstract: Speciation is driven by traits that can act to prevent mating between nascent lineages, including male courtship and female preference for male traits. Mating barriers involving these traits evolve quickly because there is strong selection… read more here.

Endocrine modulation of primary chemosensory neurons regulates Drosophila courtship behavior

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010357
Abstract: The decision to engage in courtship depends on external cues from potential mates and internal cues related to maturation, health, and experience. Hormones allow for coordinated conveyance of such information to peripheral tissues. Here, we… read more here.

The role of intrasexual competition on the evolution of male-male courtship display: a systematic review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14638
Abstract: Background Evidence of male-male courtship display is widespread across the animal kingdom. Yet, its function and evolutionary origin remain unclear. Here, we hypothesise that male-male courtship display evolved in response to selection pressure exerted by… read more here.
