Courtship behavior in salamanders is often complex and involves well-documented communication from males to females in multiple sensory modalities. Historically, behaviors exhibited during the major stages of courtship have been predominately framed as a male acting and signaling to "persuade" a passive female to participate in courtship and remain with him until sperm release is completed. In this review, we use courtship descriptions for lungless salamanders (Plethodontidae) as a case study to illustrate this historical bias of a male-centered perspective. We then re-examine the literature and summarize the many ways females are active participants during plethodontid courtships. We also relate female behaviors to the types of female-to-male communication that may occur. For example, females have been documented to approach a male and initiate courtship, participate in mutual head rubbing, and step astride the male's tail to begin the tail-straddling walk (a key courtship behavior observed in all plethodontids). Additionally, females have glands that may produce chemical signals that males respond to during courtship. We conclude that communication during courtship is more accurately described as a two-way interaction where each partner's behavior is coordinated with the other's via multi-modal signaling. Shifting the lens through which we view courtship and behavior provides insight into which female behaviors and anatomical features are most likely to be used for communication with males.

蝾螈求爱中雌雄交流的新视角

蝾螈的求偶行为通常很复杂,涉及从男性到女性以多种感官方式进行的有据可查的交流。从历史上看,在求爱的主要阶段所表现出的行为主要被视为男性的行为和信号,以“说服”被动的女性参与求爱并留在他身边,直到精子释放完成。在这篇综述中,我们使用无肺蝾螈(Plethodontidae)的求偶描述作为案例研究来说明这种以男性为中心的观点的历史偏见。然后我们重新检查文献并总结女性在全齿求爱期间积极参与者的多种方式。我们还将女性行为与可能发生的女性对男性的交流类型联系起来。例如,据记载,雌性接近雄性并开始求爱,参与相互摩擦头部,并跨过雄性的尾巴开始跨尾行走(在所有plethodontids中观察到的关键求爱行为)。此外,雌性的腺体可能会产生雄性在求偶期间做出反应的化学信号。我们得出的结论是,求爱期间的交流更准确地描述为双向互动,其中每个伙伴的行为通过多模式信号与对方的行为协调。改变我们看待求爱和行为的视角,可以洞察哪些女性行为和解剖特征最有可能用于与男性交流。的尾巴开始跨尾行走(在所有plethodontids中观察到的关键求偶行为)。此外,雌性的腺体可能会产生雄性在求偶期间做出反应的化学信号。我们得出的结论是,求爱期间的交流更准确地描述为双向互动,其中每个伙伴的行为通过多模式信号与对方的行为协调。改变我们看待求爱和行为的视角,可以洞察哪些女性行为和解剖特征最有可能用于与男性交流。的尾巴开始跨尾行走(在所有plethodontids中观察到的关键求偶行为)。此外,雌性的腺体可能会产生雄性在求爱期间做出反应的化学信号。我们得出的结论是,求爱期间的交流更准确地描述为双向互动,其中每个伙伴的行为通过多模式信号与对方的行为协调。改变我们看待求爱和行为的视角,可以洞察哪些女性行为和解剖特征最有可能用于与男性交流。我们得出的结论是,求爱期间的交流更准确地描述为双向互动,其中每个伙伴的行为通过多模式信号与对方的行为协调。改变我们看待求爱和行为的视角,可以洞察哪些女性行为和解剖特征最有可能用于与男性交流。我们得出的结论是,求爱期间的交流更准确地描述为双向互动,其中每个伙伴的行为通过多模式信号与对方的行为协调。改变我们看待求爱和行为的视角,可以洞察哪些女性行为和解剖特征最有可能用于与男性交流。
