What is the Significance of courtship behavior?

Significance of courtship behavior

•  Courtship stimulates organisms to sexual activity, thus increasing the chances of reproduction. This ensures the continuity of the species.
• It tightens the pair bond between the mating pair, which result in the subsequent rearing of the offspring by both sexes.
•  It synchronizes gonad development so that gametes mature at the same time. This ensure that fertilization occurs when mating takes place.
•  It also synchronizes time to produce offspring in right seasons. This ensures that offspring are produced when resources are available or conditions are favorable to support them.
• Courtship reduces inter-species mating. This is because it involves use of species specific set, of activates to attract members of the opposite sex. Hence membrane of different species fails to attract each other.
