Abstract

In cricket frogs, Acris crepitans, sexually active males can switch between calling and noncalling (satellite) mating strategies and injections of the neuropeptide arginine vasotocin (AVT) stimulate calling behavior. We report here that this behavioral variation of animals under field conditions is associated with variations in AVT-immunoreactive (AVT-ir) staining in distinct brain nuclei. In both calling and satellite males, one AVT-ir brain region was found in a continuous string of cells between the medial amygdala and the nucleus accumbens (ACC). Satellite males possessed significantly more AVT-ir staining in the brain (cells and fibers) than calling males at the level of the ACC, although not in the medial amygdala. This difference in AVT-ir staining in the ACC can, in part, be explained by differences in the density of staining within the cells and in cell size. In addition, satellite males had significantly higher AVT-ir staining in the fibers medial to the ACC than calling males. Because other studies have demonstrated that AVT stimulates calling behavior, a plausible hypothesis is that calling males are releasing more AVT from neurons in the ACC, depleting reserves within the cells, and that the released AVT elicits calling behavior. AVT immunoreactivity levels are also higher in the ACC in both calling and satellite males than in female cricket frogs, which do not call. Satellite males may therefore have AVT reserves that might allow them to call depending on the so…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
