In recent decades, endocrinologists have increasingly adopted evolutionary methods and
perspectives to characterize the evolution of the vertebrate endocrine system and leverage it …

Sex steroids mediate the organization and activation of masculine reproductive phenotypes
in diverse vertebrate taxa. However, the effects of sex steroid action in this context vary …

Superior physical competence is vital to the adaptive behavioural routines of many animals,
particularly those that engage in elaborate sociosexual displays. How such traits evolve …

Physical gestures are prominent features of many species' multimodal displays, yet how
evolution incorporates body and leg movements into animal signaling repertoires is unclear …

Androgenic hormones regulate many aspects of animal social behavior, including the
elaborate display routines on which many species rely for advertisement and competition …

Many animals engage in spectacular courtship displays, likely recruiting specialized neural,
hormonal and muscular systems to facilitate these performances. Male golden-collared …

The neural basis of how learned vocalizations change during development and in adulthood
represents a major challenge facing cognitive neuroscience. This plasticity in the degree to …

Background Though the mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration are deeply
understood, those involved in muscle contusion, one of the most common muscle injuries in …

Acrobatic display behaviour is sexually selected in manakins (Pipridae) and can place high
demands on many neural systems. Manakin displays vary across species in terms of …

Androgenic hormones orchestrate the development and activation of diverse reproductive
phenotypes across vertebrates. Although extensive work investigates how selection for …
