Identifying context-specific gene profiles of social, reproductive and mate preference behavior in a fish species with female mate choice
Sensory and social inputs interact with underlying gene suites to coordinate social behavior. Here we use a naturally complex system in sexual selection studies, the swordtail, to explore how genes associated with mate preference, receptivity, and social affiliation interact in the female brain und...
