The Evolution of Extended Sexual Receptivity in Chimpanzees: Variation, Male-Female Associations, and Hormonal Correlates
<p>Sexual conflict occurs when female and male fitness interests diverge. In a social system characterized by aggressive sexual coercion and the risk of infanticide, female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) respond to this conflict by exhibiting an exaggerated sexual swelling that advertises sexual …

Connecting Female Mating Decisions and Male Courtship Strategies in Drosophila
… making it challenging to infer how a female's sexual receptivity fluctuates based on the male's performance.To gain insight into dynamic changes in female sexual receptivity, we explored two distinct female behaviors displayed during courtship. First, we characterized the 'avoidance' behaviors …

Abdominal-B Neurons Control Drosophila Virgin Female Receptivity
… melanogaster) perform a duet of stereotyped, sexually dimorphic courtship behaviors, a suite of sensory back-and-forth that offers an excellent model for studying the neural circuitry of complex behavior (Dickson, 2008). However, the study of Drosophila courtship has focused overwhelmingly on …

The Implications of Sexual Assault Awareness on Sexual Overperception Bias
… investigating men’s overperceptions of women’s sexual receptivity, namely that such overperceptions are less robust than previously considered. Various social movements (e.g., #MeToo) could be a modern-day contextual factor that has reduced men’s tendency toward overperception. In this study, …

Sisters' curse: sexually antagonistic selection constrains the spread of a rare mitochondrial haplogroup
… of mtDNA variation on male adaptation and sexual selection. Mitochondrial genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses have revealed the coexistence of two highly divergent mitochondrial haplogroups, Clades A and B2, in central Panamá. DNA profiling demonstrated that B2-haplogroup males …

Ultrasonic Communication and the Hormonal Modulation of Aggressive Behavior in the Female Hamster
… the inhibition of fighting and stimulation of sexual receptivity seen on estrous days. Thus, while control adrenalectomized-ovariectomized females fought at high levels comparable to those seen in intact nonestrous females, treatment with a combination of 17β-estradiol benzoate and progesterone …

Influence of the Pattern of Hormone Administration on Behavioral and Biochemical Responses to Estrogens
… which two pulses of estradiol stimulate female sexual behavior much more effectively than a single pulse of the same total dose of the hormone. The influence of the temporal pattern of estrogen presentation on several aspects of estrogen action related to the stimulation of sexual receptivity …
