2020, Hormones and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, sex differences in AVT/AVP systems may be maintained by evolutionary need to secure reproductive opportunities, either directly or indirectly by modulating reproductive or competitive interactions, respectively. For example, in rough-skinned newts (Taricha granulosa), AVT differentially interacts with sex hormones to elicit egg-laying and ovipositioning behavior in gravid females (Moore et al., 1992) and amplectic clasping behavior in males (Moore, 1983, 1987). Exogenous AVT/AVP can also have sex-dependent effects on locomotor behavior that is directly related to reproduction, as demonstrated in bullfrogs (Boyd, 1991, 1994; Goodson and Bass, 2001).
