Australian lizards are a diverse group distributed across the continent and inhabiting a wide
range of environments. Together, they exhibit a remarkable diversity of reproductive …

Understanding the contribution of neuropeptide-containing neurons to variation in social
behavior remains critically important. Galanin has gained increased attention because of the …

Galanin is a conserved neuropeptide involved in parental care and feeding. While galanin is
known to mediate parental care and infanticide in rodents, its role in parental care and …

Across the animal kingdom there are myriad forms within a sex across, and even within,
species, rendering concepts of universal sex traits moot. The mechanisms that regulate the …

The communication behaviors of vocal fish and electric fish are among the vertebrate social
behaviors best understood at the level of neural circuits. Both forms of signaling rely on …

As organisms invade new ecological niches, new species are formed. Simultaneously,
behavioral repertoires diverge to adapt to new environments and reproductive partners …

The occasional reversal of sex-typical behavior suggests that many of the neural circuits
underlying behavior are conserved between males and females and can be activated in …

There has been rapid growth in the use of transcriptomic analyses to study the interplay
between gene expression and behavior. Experience can modify gene expression in the …

For 100 years, the Journal of Comparative Physiology-A has significantly supported
research in the field of neuroethology. The celebration of the journal's centennial is a great …

Aggressive competition for resources among juveniles is documented in many species, but
the neural mechanisms regulating this behavior in young animals are poorly understood. In …
