Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Posture and body orientation are examples of positional cues, which signal the individual's interest and availability to potential mates. This stage of courtship behaviour is focused on nonverbal communication and creating opportunities for interaction, rather than directly inviting or initiating contact (appeals to invitation) or grooming oneself (preening behaviour). The final stage of courtship behaviour, courtship readiness, involves more direct displays of attraction and commitment, such as vocalizations and physical touch.
