Bolton P, Ryder T, Dakin R, Houtz J, Moore I, Balakrishnan C, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2024 Mar; :e17327. PMID: 38511765
The neurogenomic mechanisms mediating male-male reproductive cooperative behaviours remain unknown. We leveraged extensive transcriptomic and behavioural data on a neotropical bird species (Pipra filicauda) that performs cooperative courtship displays to...

Pinder N, Ligocki I, Horton B, Hoover J
Behav Brain Res . 2023 Oct; 457:114717. PMID: 37852540
Extracts from the plant Valeriana officinalis are marketed as an herbal remedy to treat anxiety and insomnia. Valerenic acid (VA) is a major chemical component of Valeriana extracts. To date,...

Fuxjager M, Ryder T, Moody N, Alfonso C, Balakrishnan C, Barske J, et al.
Horm Behav . 2023 Mar; 151:105340. PMID: 36933440
Organismal behavior, with its tremendous complexity and diversity, is generated by numerous physiological systems acting in coordination. Understanding how these systems evolve to support differences in behavior within and among...

Maney D, Merritt J, Prichard M, Horton B, Yi S
Horm Behav . 2020 Sep; 126:104850. PMID: 32937166
The white-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) offers unique opportunities to understand the adaptive value of supergenes, particularly their role in alternative phenotypes. In this species, alternative plumage morphs segregate with a...

Dakin R, Moore I, Horton B, Vernasco B, Ryder T
J Anim Ecol . 2020 Aug; 90(1):131-142. PMID: 32745255
Social networks can vary in their organization and dynamics, with implications for ecological and evolutionary processes. Understanding the mechanisms that drive social network dynamics requires integrating individual-level biology with comparisons...

Horton B, Michael C, Prichard M, Maney D
Proc Biol Sci . 2020 Apr; 287(1924):20200196. PMID: 32259472
Supergenes, or linked groups of alleles that are inherited together, present excellent opportunities to understand gene-behaviour relationships. In white-throated sparrows (), a supergene on the second chromosome associates with a...

Ryder T, Dakin R, Vernasco B, Evans B, Horton B, Moore I
Am Nat . 2019 Dec; 195(1):82-94. PMID: 31868543
Stable cooperation requires plasticity whereby individuals are able to express competitive or cooperative behaviors depending on social context. To date, however, the physiological mechanisms that underlie behavioral variation in cooperative...

Grogan K, Horton B, Hu Y, Maney D
Mol Cell Endocrinol . 2019 Jul; 495:110517. PMID: 31348983
In white-throated sparrows, a chromosomal rearrangement has led to alternative phenotypes that differ in sex steroid-dependent behaviors. The rearrangement has captured the genes estrogen receptor alpha and 5-alpha reductase, making...

Horton B, Ryder T, Moore I, Balakrishnan C
Genes Brain Behav . 2019 Feb; 19(1):e12560. PMID: 30756473
The vertebrate basal forebrain and midbrain contain a set of interconnected nuclei that control social behavior. Conserved anatomical structures and functions of these nuclei have now been documented among fish,...

Vernasco B, Horton B, Ryder T, Moore I
Gen Comp Endocrinol . 2018 Jul; 273:202-208. PMID: 30056137
Obtaining baseline hormone samples can be challenging because circulating hormone levels often change rapidly due to the acute stress of capture. Although field protocols are established for accurately sampling baseline...
