Sexual Attraction and Mating Patterns in Cylindrocorpus longistoma and C. curzii (Nematoda: Cylindrocorporidae).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Females of Cylindrocorpus longistoma and C. curzii excrete attractants which probably function to bring the sexes together before mating. Intraspecific and interspecific heterosexual and homosexual pairing experiments showed the attractants to be species specific as well as sex specific. Observations on mating behavior support the hypothesis that sexual attraction and copulation require independent stimuli.

Lust evolved to initiate the mating process with any appropriate pa...

The response of individual animals to mating signals depends on the sexual identity of the individual and the genetics of the mating targets, which represent the mating social context (social environment). However, how social signals are sensed and integrated during mating decisions remains a mystery. One of the models for understanding mating behaviors in molecular and cellular terms is the ma...

Two studies tested evolutionary hypotheses about the use and perceived effectiveness of specific mate attraction tactics as a function of sexual strategy pursued. Participants and a close same-sex friend of each participant reported on the participant’s sexual strategy and deployment of attraction tactics.

متن کاملReligious Attendance as Reproductive Support.
We argue that a central function of religious attendance in the contemporary U.S. is to support a high-fertility, monogamous mating strategy. Although religious attendance is correlated with many demographic, personality, moral, and behavioral variables, we propose that sexual and family variables are at the core of many of these relationships. Numerous researchers have assumed that religious s...
