social behaviorNearly all studies of Drosophila melanogaster courtship have focused exclusively on male behaviour. Female precopulatory behaviour is often relegated to 'accept' or 'reject' mating, and how female behaviour interacts with that of males remains largely unknown. Using a video-computing ...

exaggerated male structures are used for specific behaviors in male-to-male competition or courtship toward females. InDrosophila prolongata, a member of themelanogasterspecies group, males have enlarged forelegs whereas females do not. However, the adaptive role of the enlarged forelegs is unclear...
{IFruitless} splicing specifies male courtship behavior in {IDrosophila}Demir, EDickson, B J
Thus, genes that regulate the development and activity of these circuits would be excellent candidates for behavior evolution. Male courtship behavior in Drosophila species is an attractive target for such studies because not only do Drosophila species display extensive variation in courtship behavior (...
