Here, we report the first examination of microbiota dependant behaviours inDrosophilaacross generations. We observed that microbiota removal had minor (and/or inconsistent) effects on anxiety-related behaviour7,
Despite its ubiquity in urban habitats, we currently know very little about how artificial night lighting affects the reproductive behaviours of most animals. Our study examined the effects of chronic (lifetime) exposure to one of four ecologically relevant intensities of artificial light at night (...
Clearly past courtship in the courtyard. 注意,Serena和不再单身的男孩,显然在庭院里平安度过了求爱期。 「绯闻女孩精选」 7.Courtship display, or mating rituals are a set of behaviours that animals perform as part of courtship. 求偶示或交配仪式是动物在求偶过程中表现的一系列行为。 「生物基础入门」 ...
Thalamic projections can shape premotor activity2,3,4,5,6 and have been suggested7 to mediate the selection of short, stereotyped actions comprising more complex behaviours8. However, the mechanisms by which thalamus interacts with motor cortical circuits to execute such movement sequences remain ...
Courtship display – a suite of behaviours displayed by an individual to attract and eventually reproduce with an individual of the opposite sex – is an essential feature of animals, fulfilling a variety of crucial functions such as sex recognition, sexual stimulation, synchronization of mating behav...

Animals can estimate breeding habitat quality by monitoring social information provided by the behaviours of others. While it is accepted that the value of public information erodes with distance from the source of information, the spatial and temporal ecology of public information acquisition and use ...
The number of ano-genital sniffings, lateral approaches, as well as total courtship behaviours were greater in treated than untreated rams during the breeding season. Treated rams also tended to mount and mate more during the breeding season. During the non-breeding season, treated rams tended ...
between singing and dancing signals. Sound pressure and the timing of steps seemed to be coordinated with the songs. A next step in the study of blue-capped cordon-bleus courtship display should be to investigate how singing, bobbing and stepping behaviours are coordinated within individuals and ...
Many animals possess multiple ornaments or behaviours that seem to have evolved via sexual selection. A complete understanding of sexual selection requires an explanation for such multiple traits. The dabbling ducks (Tribe: Anatini) exhibit considerable variation among species in the number of displays...
