Experimental studies aimed at understanding the neurobiology of aggression started in the
early 20th century, and by employing increasingly sophisticated tools of functional …

In this review, I discuss current knowledge and outstanding questions on the
neuromodulators that influence aggressive behavior of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster …

Neuromodulators are conserved across insect taxa, but how biogenic amines and their
receptors in ancestral solitary forms have been co-opted to control behaviors in derived …

In all animals, losers of a conflict against a conspecific exhibit reduced aggressiveness,
often coupled with depression-like symptoms, particularly after multiple defeats. While …

ABSTRACT Serotonin (5-HT) has largely been accepted to be inhibitory to vertebrate
aggression, whereas an opposing stimulatory role has been proposed for invertebrates …

The decision to express either a defensive response or an escape response to a potential
threat is crucial for insects to survive. This study investigated an aminergic mechanism …

Aggression between members of the same species serves to secure resources, but the costs
can quickly outweigh benefits. Hence, for aggression to be evolutionarily adaptive, animals …

Appropriate responses to real or potential damaging stimuli to the body (nociception) are
critical to an animal's short-and long-term survival. The initial goal of this study was to …

Aggression is a common behavioral trait shared in many animals, including both vertebrates
and invertebrates. However, the type and intensity of agonistic encounters and displays can …

Aggression is a common trait in almost all animals and one of the bases of animal sociality. It
is closely linked to intraspecific conflicts, hunting, and defending offspring, among others …
