Mobley R, Dore E, Maruska K
Aggress Behav . 2024 Dec; 51(1):e70015. PMID: 39697041
Sensory processing of communication stimuli is essential for the survival of organisms across all evolutionary branches. Multimodal signaling, the use of multiple sensory systems is crucial in this process, but...

Wayne C, Karam A, McInnis A, Arms C, Kaller M, Maruska K
J Exp Biol . 2023 Nov; 226(22). PMID: 37909345
Social defeat is a powerful experience leading to drastic changes in physiology and behavior, many of which are negative. For example, repeated social defeat in vertebrates results in reduced reproductive...

Ray E, Maruska K
Integr Comp Biol . 2023 Jul; 63(6):1168-1181. PMID: 37488679
Parental care is important for offspring survival and success. Recognition of offspring by parents is critical to ensure parents direct care behaviors at related offspring and minimize energy lost by...

Ray E, Butler J, Maruska K
J Exp Biol . 2023 Mar; 226(6). PMID: 36951397
Parental care has evolved several times and is present across taxa. Parental care behaviors, such as food provisioning and protection, are critical for offspring success. However, infanticide can co-exist with...

Mobley R, Ray E, Maruska K
J Comp Neurol . 2022 Jul; 530(16):2901-2917. PMID: 35781648
Nitric oxide (NO) produced by the enzyme neuronal nitric oxide synthase serves as an important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that is involved in reproductive regulation, learning, sensory processing,...

Maruska K, Anselmo C, King T, Mobley R, Ray E, Wayne R
Horm Behav . 2022 Jan; 139:105110. PMID: 35065406
Position in a dominance hierarchy profoundly impacts group members' survival, health, and reproductive success. Thus, understanding the mechanisms that regulate or are associated with an individuals' social position is important....

Butler J, Maruska K
Integr Comp Biol . 2021 May; 61(1):240-248. PMID: 33972997
Animals use visual communication to convey crucial information about their identity, reproductive status, and sex. Plasticity in the auditory and olfactory systems has been well-documented, however, fewer studies have tested...

Maruska K, Butler J
Integr Comp Biol . 2021 May; 61(1):249-268. PMID: 33963407
Intra- and inter-sexual communications are vital to the survival and reproductive success of animals. In species that cycle in and out of breeding or other physiological condition, sensory function can...

Grone B, Butler J, Wayne C, Maruska K
J Comp Neurol . 2021 Jan; 529(10):2596-2619. PMID: 33474732
The corticotropin-releasing hormone and urocortin family of peptides consists of five members in many vertebrates: CRH (crha/crhb in teleosts), CRH2, UCN/UTS1, UCN2, and UCN3. These genes differ in expression pattern,...

Butler J, Herath E, Rimal A, Whitlow S, Maruska K
Horm Behav . 2020 Oct; 126:104870. PMID: 33002455
Galanin is a conserved neuropeptide involved in parental care and feeding. While galanin is known to mediate parental care and infanticide in rodents, its role in parental care and feeding...
