Sexual behavior is suppressed by various types of stressors. We previously demonstrated that an alarm pheromone released by stressed male Wistar rats is a stressor to other rats, increases the number of mounts needed for ejaculation, and decreases the hit rate (described as the number of intromissions/sum of the mounts and intromissions). This deterioration in sexual behavior was ameliorated by...

Spring-calving, crossbred (1/4 to 3/8 Brahman) primiparous (n = 56) and multiparous (n = 102) beef cows were used to evaluate the effects of progesterone, delivered via a controlled internal drug-releasing (CIDR) device, and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) on estrous behavior, synchronization rate, initiation of estrous cycles, and pregnancy rate during a 2-yr period. To determine luteal activity, we...

Abstract In primates, same-sex and immature sexual behaviour is widespread can include mounting genital presentation. These patterns be observed in multiple social contexts across all ages, serve functions such as appeasement, reconciliation, practice dominance assertion. this study, we investigated a group of robust capuchins ( Sapajus nigritus ) living an Atlantic forest fragment urban areas....
