Genetic screening reveals cone cell-specific factors as common genetic targets modulating rival-induced prolonged mating in male Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Male-male social interactions exert a substantial impact on the transcriptional regulation of genes associated with aggression and mating behavior in male Drosophila melanogaster. Throughout our comprehensive genetic screening of aggression-related genes, we identified that the majority of mutants for these genes are associated with rival-induced and visually oriented mating behavior, longer-mating duration...
