This study investigates how ghrelin affects ultrasonic vocalizations and other courtship behaviors in male mice, finding that ghrelin reduces vocalization rates over time without affecting non-vocal behaviors.

The paper investigates how androgen receptor modulation affects vocal circuitry in Alston's singing mouse, finding that androgens drive coordinated changes in AR abundance across motor and motivational circuits, influencing song characteristics.

This study shows leptin increases song effort in male Alston's singing mice when social context is stimulating, and affects vocal amplitude but not rate.

This study shows that female song in Alston's singing mice increases vocal display effort in both sexes, highlighting the social context of song in communication.

The paper compares gene expression in brain regions of prairie voles and meadow voles to identify species differences associated with pair bonding.

The paper identifies gene expression signatures in the brain associated with courtship humming in midshipman fish, highlighting circadian-related genes and other molecular pathways involved in vocal behavior.

The paper investigates the activation of galanin neurons in the preoptic area-anterior hypothalamus during alternative reproductive tactics in midshipman fish, finding specific activation in courting males.
