Neuroendocrine factors that produce species differences in aggregation behavior ("sociality") are largely unknown, although relevant studies should yield important insights into mechanisms of affiliation and social evolution. We here focused on five species in the avian family Estrildidae that differ selectively in their species-typical group sizes (all species are monogamous and occupy similar habitats). These include two highly gregarious species that independently evolved coloniality; two territorial species that independently evolved territoriality; and an intermediate, modestly gregarious species that is a sympatric congener of one of the territorial species. Using males and females of each species, we examined binding sites for 125 I-vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), 125 I-sauvagine (SG; a ligand for corticotropin releasing factor, CRF, receptors) and a linear 125 I-V 1a vasopressin antagonist (to localize receptors for vasotocin, VT). VIP, CRF and VT are neuropeptides that influence stress, anxiety and/or various social behaviors. For numerous areas (particularly within the septal complex), binding densities in the territorial species differed significantly from binding in the more gregarious species, and in most of these cases, binding densities for the moderately greagarious species were either comparable to the two colonial species, or were intermediate to the territorial and colonial species. Such patterns were observed for 125 I-VIP binding in the medial bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, medial septum, septohippocampal septum, and subpallial zones of the lateral septum; for 125 I-SG binding in the infundibular hypothalamus, and lateral and medial divisions of the ventromedial hypothalamus; and for the linear 125 I-V 1a antagonist in the medial septum, and the pallial and subpallial zones of the caudal lateral septum. With the exception of 125 I-SG binding in the infundibular hypothalamus, binding densitites are positively related to sociality. Keywords lateral septum; hypothalamus; vasotocin; vasopressin; corticotropin releasing factor; vasoactive intestinal polypeptide; evolution; sociality; songbird Components of social organization can change rapidly during evolution, as suggested by the fact that many vertebrate groups exhibit substantial diversity in behavioral dimensions such as grouping, mating systems, patterns of parental care, philopatry and kin affiliation. Thus, a given form of behavior or social structure may have evolved independently many times in various vertebrate lineages. Somewhat inconveniently, the evolution of a given species-typical social structure could hypothetically be produced by more than one kind of evolutionary modification to the brain, reducing our ability to generalize across species. Species-typical group size ("sociality") provides a good example: Natural selection on aggregation behavior could conceivably act on neural mechanisms that relate to anxiety, stress, aggression, reward, bonding, and/or simple arousal to social stimuli 1 . Therefore, in...

“…The VIPR gene has proved to be involved in the regulation of broodiness in avian, as evidenced by the endocrine mechanism of broodiness and expression in vivo and in vitro (Rozenboim and el Halawani, 1993;Kansaku et al, 2001;Chaiseha et al, 2004). The VIPR-1 gene was expressed in the hypothalamus and pituitary, primarily in the latter, and only the differential mRNA expression of the VIPR-1 gene in the pituitary was associated with reproductive changes (You et al, 2001), suggesting that the VIPR-1 gene is an important candidate gene for egg-laying quails.…”

Abstract:The laying quail is a worldwide breed which exhibits high economic value. In our current study, the vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor-1 (VIPR-1) was selected as the candidate gene for identifying traits of egg production. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection was performed in 443 individual quails, including 196 quails from the H line, 202 quails from the L line, and 45 wild quails. The SNPs were genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Two mutations (G373T, A313G) were detected in all the tested quail populations. The associated analysis showed that the SNP genotypes of the VIPR-1 gene were significantly linked with the egg weight of G373T and A313G in 398 quails. The quails with the genotype GG always exhibited the largest egg weight for the two mutations in the H and L lines. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis indicated that G373T and A313G loci showed the weakest LD. Seven main diplotypes from the four main reconstructed haplotypes were observed, indicating a significant association of diplotypes with egg weight. Quails with the h1h2 (GGGT) diplotype always exhibited the smallest egg weight and largest egg number at 20 weeks of age. The overall results suggest that the alterations in quails may be linked with potential major loci or genes affecting reproductive traits.

Seasonal Variation in Group Size Is Related to Seasonal Variation in Neuropeptide Receptor Density

In many species, seasonal variation in grouping behavior is widespread, with shifts towards territoriality in the breeding season and grouping in the winter. Compared to the hormonal and neural mechanisms of seasonal territorial aggression, the mechanisms that promote seasonal grouping have received little attention. We collected brains in spring and winter from wild-caught males of two species of emberizid sparrows that seasonally flock (the field sparrow, Spizella pusilla, and the dark-eyed junco, Junco hyemalis) and two species that do not seasonally flock (the song sparrow, Melospiza melodia, and the eastern towhee, Pipilo erythrophthalmus). We used receptor autoradiography to quantify seasonal plasticity in available binding sites for three neuropeptides known to influence social behavior. We examined binding sites for ¹²⁵I-vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), ¹²⁵I-sauvagine (SG, a ligand for corticotropin-releasing hormone receptors) and ¹²⁵I-ornithine vasotocin analog (OVTA, a ligand for the VT3 nonapeptide). For all species and ligands, brain areas that exhibited a seasonal pattern in binding density were characterized by a winter increase. Compared to nonflocking species, seasonally flocking species showed different binding patterns in multiple brain areas. Furthermore, we found that winter flocking was associated with elevated winter ¹²⁵I-VIP binding density in the medial amygdala, as well as ¹²⁵I-VIP and ¹²⁵I-OVTA binding density in the rostral arcopallium. While the functional significance of the avian rostral arcopallium is unclear, it may incorporate parts of the pallial amygdala. Our results point to this previously undescribed area as a likely hot spot of social modulation.
