Abstract:Sexually dimorphic behavior is pervasive across animals, with males and females exhibiting different mate selection, parental care, foraging, dispersal, and territorial strategies. However, the genetic underpinnings of sexually dimorphic behaviors are poorly understood. Here we investigate gene networks and expression patterns associated with sexually dimorphic imprinting-like learning in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana. In this species, both males and females learn visual preferences, but learn preferences for… Show more
