  5. 🐍❤️ Member which_chick shares a great story about rattlesnake courtship, and it's so good we should maybe follow their example!

    Click for that story and then skip a few comments down to see what we can learn about maternal and paternal care and other forms of socialization in (wait for it) millipedes.

  8. McDonald et al. find that courtship displays of the Golden-winged Manakin are dynamic interactions between audience and performer. Displays are simpler when a female is present, and simplest when her position on the display log indicates readiness to mate. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1

  10. I'm not sure it's fashionable in 2025 to worry about being too reticent in one's courtship practices. In fact, I'm sure it's NOT. Better a "goddamn perfect gentleman" than a douchebag whose name is in the whisper network...

  11. A quotation from Hugo

    Strange to say, the first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity; in a young girl it is boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other’s qualities.
     
    [Et puis, chose bizarre, le premier symptôme de l’amour vrai chez un jeune homme, c’est la timidité, chez une jeune fille, c’est la hardiesse. Ceci étonne, et rien n’est plus simple pourtant. Ce sont les deux sexes qui tendent à se rapprocher et qui prennent les qualités l’un de l’autre.]

    Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
    Les Misérables, Part 4 “St. Denis,” Book 3 “The House in the Rue Plumet,” ch. 6 (4.3.6) (1862) [tr. Hapgood (1887)]

    A man in top hat and tails plays the flute outside a bedroom window, standing on the top of a wall. Vintage engraving ‘The Serenade” from Lloyd’s 1857 family book (Illustrirtes Familienbuch zur Unterhaltung & Belehrung häuslicher Kreise).

    The book describes him as a dreamy youth.

    From a painting by G. Neumann & engraved by Heinrich Petersen (1806-1870)

  20. Flies get love blind: Katrin Vogt @katvogt wrote a dispatch on two papers on dopamine and courtship in #Drosophila, by the Rezaval lab and the Crickmore lab, on how flies become unaware of threats leading into copulation, and how they awaken from this condition afterwards:

  24. "From the first blush of attraction to the final vows at the altar, courtship during Britain’s Regency period — which lasted from 1811 to 1820 — was equal parts romance and business," writes Parissa Djangi for National Geographic. She explains the real rules of entering the marriage market in the "Bridgerton" era.

  26. Pair of Strongylophthalmyia pengellyi courting each other. Hands down the most beautifully choreographed mating display I have ever witnessed. Male would levitate ~1 mm off the leaf surface and fly in a tight circle around the female. He'd also spin around to face her, pop his wings back and forth, and more. #fly #diptera #insects #entomology #courtship #mating #nature #macro #MacroPhotography

  28. Here's a video of a male red-headed bush cricket singing. I assume the clear left wing is a display feature but couldn't find confirmation. Would make for a fun undergrad project ... all you'd need is a Sharpie. #cricket #courtship #insects youtube.com/watch?v=3oqRn6xVwX
