In the lizard Iberolacerta monticola, there are 2 discrete color morphs ("blue" vs. "green") that seem to have alternative reproductive strategies. Because scent marking of territories and chemoreception are important in social organization of these ... Read more...
Genetic determinants of mate recognition in Brachionus manjavacas (Rotifera).
7 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Mate choice is of central importance to most animals, influencing population structure, speciation, and ultimately the survival of a species. Mating behavior of male brachionid rotifers is triggered by the product of a chemosensory gene, ... Read more...
Caenorhabditis elegans pheromones regulate multiple complex behaviors.
5 Aug 2009 A family of small molecules called ascarosides act as pheromones to control multiple behaviors in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. At picomolar concentrations, a synergistic mixture of at least three ascarosides produced by hermaphrodites causes ... Read more...
