This evidence was supported by another study using a different species, the dark-eyed junco, showing that sex recognition by olfaction may be widespread in the taxa. It was found that the juncos were able to identify the sex of conspecifics as well as body size. [30] Specific odors in crested auklets are directly related to courtship behavior ...
Bagemihl's research shows that homosexual behavior, not necessarily sex, has been documented in about 500 species as of 1999, ranging from primates to gut worms. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Homosexuality in animals is seen as controversial by social conservatives because it asserts the naturalness of homosexuality in humans , while others counter that it has ...

The sex determination system used in birds is the ZW system. In this system, cock birds have two Z chromosomes, and hens have one Z and one W. So in hens whichever allele is present on the single Z chromosome is fully expressed in the phenotype. Hens cannot be split for Sex-linked Clearbody (or any other sex-linked mutation).
Here, sex change is age-dependent. For example, the California sheephead stays a female for four to six years before changing sex [35] since all California sheephead are born female. [38] A terminal-phase male bluehead wrasse. Bluehead wrasses begin life as males or females, but females can change sex and function as males. Young females and ...

The Cinnamon mutation is sex-linked, the locus of its gene being carried on the Z chromosome, and recessive to wild-type. [4] This was determined first by Cyril H Rogers working with Simms and Porter. It was reported in the Budgerigar Bulletin as early as August 1933, [15] and in more detail in September 1934. [5]
Male Dendropsophus microcephalus calling. Sexual selection in amphibians involves sexual selection processes in amphibians, including frogs, salamanders and newts.Prolonged breeders, the majority of frog species, have breeding seasons at regular intervals where male-male competition occurs with males arriving at the waters edge first in large number and producing a wide range of vocalizations ...
