Selection of Japanese quail for a reduced (low stress, LS) rather than exaggerated (high stress, HS) adrenocortical response to brief restraint is associated with a non-specific reduction in stress responsiveness, decreased fearfulness, greater sociality, and enhanced male reproductive function, e.g. greater cloacal gland size, foam production, and testes weight. Because sexual behaviour has components that may be affected by all of these traits, the copulatory behaviour of male LS and HS adults was compared herein. In experiment 1, males from each line were individually tested in a runway (novel environment) in two consecutive steps. First, the approach (social proximity) of a test male (LS or HS) to a compartment containing two females (o...
