Sensory Response System of Social Behavior Tied to Female Reproductive Traits
BACKGROUND Honey bees display a complex set of anatomical, physiological, and behavioral traits that correlate with the colony storage of surplus pollen (pollen hoarding). We hypothesize that the association of these traits is a result of pleiotropy in a gene signaling network that was co-opted by natural selection to function in worker division of labor and foraging specialization. By acting o...
متن کاملSensory Neurons in the Drosophila Genital Tract Regulate Female Reproductive Behavior
Females of many animal species behave very differently before and after mating. In Drosophila melanogaster, changes in female behavior upon mating are triggered by the sex peptide (SP), a small peptide present in the male's seminal fluid. SP activates a specific receptor, the sex peptide receptor (SPR), which is broadly expressed in the female reproductive tract and nervous system. Here, we pin...
متن کاملReproductive traits of polycystic ovary syndrome in female rhesus monkeys.
The objective of this study was to set up a rhesus monkey model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is globally prevalent among reproductive-aged human women, and to understand the reproductive traits of PCOS female monkeys. Six adult female rhesus monkeys aged 6-10 a, were divided into a PCOS group and a control group. The PCOS group were given two cycles of subcutaneous injections of p...
متن کاملP71: Which Variables Predict the Response of Patients with Social Anxiety Disorder to Cognitive-Behavior Therapy?
Social anxiety (or social phobia) disorder is defined as a constant fear of being embarrassed or negatively evaluated in social situations or while doing activities in the presence of others. Several studies have examined the role of certain variables that might predict response to treatment and may affect treatment outcome. The purpose of this study was to identify predictive variables of chan...
متن کاملSocial suppression of female reproductive maturation and infanticidal behavior in cooperatively breeding Mongolian gerbils.
In several cooperatively breeding species, reproductively suppressed, nonbreeding females are attracted to infants and routinely provide alloparental care, while breeding females may attack or kill other females' infants. The mechanisms underlying the transition from alloparental to infanticidal behavior are unknown. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that this transition is associated wit...
