The genetic architecture underlying reproductively isolating traits may have substantial impacts on the likelihood and pace of speciation. Recent studies of a key premating barrier, courtship, provide ...

Periods of isolation during which animals have no social contact are common in the design of behavioral experiments. They are used, for example, to test memory and recognition responses, or to ensure ...

Etheostoma spectabile pulchellum (Orangethroat darter) and E. radiosum paludosum (Orangebelly darter) inhabit, but do not co-occur, in the Washita River, Oklahoma. Behavioral isolation between these ...

In a recent article published in Nature Communications, researchers used Camponotus fellah (carpenter ants) as a model species to perform behavioral tracking and ribonucleic acid-sequencing (RNA-seq) ...

In efforts to understand the neural basis for loneliness, researchers have found a molecular indicator and regulator of social isolation in female mice. The new study reports that social ...
