Arginine vasotocin effects on courtship behavior in male white perch (Morone americana)

Salek, S. J., Sullivan, C. V., & Godwin, J. (2002, July 1). Behavioural Brain Research, Vol. 133, pp. 177–183.

By: S. Salek n, C. Sullivan n & J. Godwin n 

author keywords: arginine vasotocin; sexual behavior; teleost; androgen
MeSH headings : Androgens / blood; Animals; Bass / physiology; Courtship; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Injections, Intraperitoneal; Injections, Intraventricular; Male; Testosterone / analogs & derivatives; Testosterone / blood; Vasotocin / blood; Vasotocin / pharmacology
topics (OpenAlex): Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior; Human-Animal Interaction Studies; Evolutionary Psychology and Human Behavior
TL;DR: The strong behavioral effects observed with ICV administration support a central site of action for AVT in stimulating attending behavior, providing further evidence of a conserved behavioral role for these peptides. (via Semantic Scholar)

2001 article

Courtship and Tank Spawning Behavior of Temperate Basses (GenusMorone)

Salek, S. J., Godwin, J., Sullivan, C. V., & Stacey, N. E. (2001, September 1). Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, Vol. 130, pp. 833–847.

By: S. Salek n, J. Godwin n , C. Sullivan n & N. Stacey *

topics (OpenAlex): Reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species; Fish Ecology and Management Studies; Aquaculture Nutrition and Growth
TL;DR: The best predictor of imminent spawning was a significant increase in male attending behavior, defined as extremely close and continuous following of the female, sometimes contacting her abdominal or vent area with the snout. (via Semantic Scholar)

2001 article

Courtship behavior of male white perch, Morone americana: evidence for control by androgens

Salek, S. J., Sullivan, C. V., & Godwin, J. (2001, November 1). Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A Molecular & Integrative Physiology, Vol. 130, pp. 731–740.

By: S. Salek n, C. Sullivan n & J. Godwin n 

author keywords: courtship behavior; sexual behavior; 11-ketotestosterone; androgen; Morone; white perch; castrate
MeSH headings : Aggression; Androgens / metabolism; Androgens / physiology; Animals; Behavior, Animal; Castration; Female; Hormones; Male; Perches; Sexual Behavior, Animal; Testosterone / biosynthesis
topics (OpenAlex): Reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species; Fish Ecology and Management Studies; Aquaculture Nutrition and Growth
TL;DR: Circling was eliminated by castration but restored by implantation with T or 11-KT to values exhibited by sham-operated males, one of the few demonstrations that KT can regulate courtship behavior in a non-territorial and economically important fish species. (via Semantic Scholar)
