In lower animals, sexual behavior is closely tied to the receptivity of the female. Females typically only display sexual behaviors when they are in estrus, a period of heightened fertility and sexual receptivity. Male animals will then display behaviors such as courtship displays, territorial behavior, and mounting in response to the receptive female. The amount of estrogen in the male and individual survival are not strongly tied to sexual behavior in lower animals.
