The courtship behaviour of Drosophila melanogaster is affected by the light regime in which the animals were reared as adults. The light regime has a positive assortative effect on mating. To investigate further

locomotion, sleep, and courtship. In each of these behavioral paradigms, we found no substantial differences between GF and control flies. As the first analysis of cross-generational microbe-regulatedDrosophilabehaviour, this study indicates that the strong microbiome-brain interactions...
Animals must set behavioural priority in a context-dependent manner and switch from one behaviour to another at the appropriate moment1,2,3. Here we probe the molecular and neuronal mechanisms that orchestrate the transition from feeding to courtship in Drosophila melanogaster. We find that feeding ...

In animals, the products of construction behavior can serve as mating signals, provided that they reflect the phenotypic quality of the individuals that built the structures12,13,14. This explains why the bowers of bowerbirds are the targets of female mate choice. The building and maintenance of...
Insects and other animals adjust their sexual behaviour according to mating and nutritional state; the sensory and behavioural responses to sex and food signals are therefore under coincident modulation22–25. Acute perception of cVA via Or67d (and the DA1 glomerulus) enhances female sexual ...
The evolution of adaptive behavior often requires changes in sensory systems. However, rapid adaptive changes in sensory traits can adversely affect other fitness-related behaviors. In the German cockroach, a gustatory polymorphism, ‘glucose-aversion (GA)’, supports greater survivorship under selection...
The “61 verified genes” were deemed ecdysone-regulated if protein or mRNA levels were shown in a primary reference to be ecdysone-responsive in Drosophila cell lines, tissues, or whole animals (Table S4). Given this observation, the presence of ecdysone receptor binding sites (EcREs) in ...
