Proposing a neural framework for the evolution of elaborate courtship displays
RW Schwark, MJ Fuxjager, MF Schmidt - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
In many vertebrates, courtship occurs through the performance of elaborate behavioral
displays that are as spectacular as they are complex. The question of how sexual selection …
