Hormonal Mediation of a Unique Behavioral Polymorphism in the White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis)
… White-throated Sparrow. This species exhibits a behavioral polymorphism that occurs in both sexes. White-striped (WS) morphs are more territorially aggressive, sing more frequently and seek more extra-pair copulations. Tan-striped (TS) morphs provision nestlings more frequently. Thus this species …

cGMP -Dependent Protein Kinase, Behavioral Plasticity, and Foraging in Honey Bees and Fruit Flies
Here I describe a study of comparative behavioral genetics of a complex behavioral phenotype that is affected by a gene encoding a cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG, foraging). I accomplish this by using a traditional genetic model---the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster , and a traditional …
