Aggressive mating strategies in young adolescent girls
… is the time when humans begin utilizing mating strategies (e.g., flirting, fighting or rumor spreading about competitors) to attract and keep mates. Consistent empirical evidence shows that some adolescent boys are on a developmental pathway in which they utilize aggression and risky …

Hormonal Mediation of a Unique Behavioral Polymorphism in the White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis)
… mediates the life-history trade-off between mating effort and parental care in the 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 …

Testosterone and behavior in female marmosets
… studied in males. Male behaviors related to mating success (competition and finding mates) are positively associated with testosterone levels in many bird and mammalian species. Conversely, male testosterone is negatively associated with infant care. The relationship between mating effort and …

Young adults' sexual strategies and mating displays in the virtual world: an evolutionary perspective
… when it comes to sexual strategies and mating displays. Individuals should develop a faster life history strategy (showing, for example, higher mating effort and a preference for a variety of mates) when they are raised in a relatively unstable environment with high extrinsic mortality. …

Parental investment and physical aggression among males
… were negatively correlated with a measure of mating effort [infidelity intentions] and positively correlated with jealousy). The main contribution of this thesis is in highlighting the need to view sex differences in terms of the variability in parental investment both between and within the …

Psychopathy as a Conditional Reproductive Strategy in Boys and Men: An Evolutionary–Developmental Perspective
… have suggested some adaptive benefits (e.g., mating) to expressing PTs, whereas developmental perspectives suggest both genes and environment affect its expression. Bringing evolutionary and developmental perspectives together, my thesis addresses whether the expression of psychopathy in boys …

Factors influencing parasite-related supression of mating behavior in the isopod caecidotea intermedius
… antipredatory behavior, and changes in mating behavior in arthropod intermediate hosts that increase risks of predation by definitive vertebrate hosts. Additionally, these changes have been shown to associate with the developmental stage of the parasite which facilitates the likelihood …
