A vexing observation in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is that parallel analyses
in different species may not identify orthologous genes. Here, we demonstrate that cross …

Behaviors are components of fitness and contribute to adaptive evolution. Behaviors
represent the interactions of an organism with its environment, yet innate behaviors display …
