Aggression in Invertebrates: The Emergence and Nature of Agonistic Behavioral Patterns

摘要: Invertebrate models for the study of aggression offer a powerful system analysis complex behavior. The detailed behavioral patterns that make up in these species are innate, although they can be molded by experience. Studies possible at levels ranging from genetic explorations how get laid down nervous systems, through classic analyses behavior itself, hormonal modulation behavior, identification circuits and individual neurons involved, addressing questions modified winning losing fights. In this article focus is on several arthropod model systems which has been described detail: fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster; two crustaceans, crayfish lobsters.
