1. The courtship behaviour of adult male and female ostriches was observed in the presence and absence of human beings. 2. Courtship behaviours in both males and females were more prevalent in the presence of humans. 3. Exposure to a human for a short period did not stimulate courtship ...
Cataplexy is triggered by laughter in humans and palatable food in mice. To further evaluate mice’s cataplexy, we examined courtship behavior in orexin neuron-ablated mice (ORX-AB), one of the animal models of narcolepsy/cataplexy. Wild-type female mice were placed into the home cage of...
Walking through urine drives crayfish into an aggressive sexual frenzy. Researchers writing in the open access journalBMC Biologysuggest that a urine-mediated combination of aggressive and reproductive behaviour ensures that only the strongest males get to mate. Fiona Berry and Thomas Breithaupt from the...

Previous studies have revealed that alterations in DA synthesis in dopaminergic neurons can induce male-male courtship behaviour, while increasing DA levels in the protocerebral posteriolateral dopaminergic cluster neuron 2ab (PPL2ab) may enhance the intensity of male courtship sustainment in. Here we...
In Zulu culture, there are certain basic principles of ethical behaviour that are required from young people of both genders so that they act with integrity in their romantic relationships. The white colour in particular, embodies the ideal values the Zulu society strives for.Biyela N...
