Male sexual behaviour and ethanol consumption from an evolutionary perspective: A comment on “Sexual deprivation increases ethanol intake in Drosophila”
"Shohat-Ophir et al.Citation1 demonstrate a connection between sexual behaviour and ethanol consumption in male Drosophila flies, and how the neuropeptide F system regulates ethanol preference. Their results are rightly discussed only in a physiological context, but this has facilitated erroneo...

| Sumario: | "Shohat-Ophir et al.Citation1 demonstrate a connection between sexual behaviour and ethanol consumption in male Drosophila flies, and how the neuropeptide F system regulates ethanol preference. Their results are rightly discussed only in a physiological context, but this has facilitated erroneous anthropomorphic interpretations by the media. Here we discuss the link between male sexual behaviour and ethanol consumption from an evolutionary perspective, providing a broader context to interpret their results". |
