WormMine: GOTerm GO:0034606 response to hermaphrodite contact GO

• Namespace: biological_process
• Obsolete: false
• Description: The response by the male to a hermaphrodite after initial contact following mate finding. The male stops forward locomotion, presses the ventral side of his tail against his partner's body, and begins moving backward along the hermaphrodite. Male response behavior is initiated when sensory neurons located in the rays of his tail contact a potential mate.

Identifier	Name	Description
GO:0008150	biological_process	A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence.
GO:0022414	reproductive process	A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents.
GO:0032501	multicellular organismal process	Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function.
GO:0048609	multicellular organismal reproductive process	The process, occurring above the cellular level, that is pertinent to the reproductive function of a multicellular organism. This includes the integrated processes at the level of tissues and organs.
GO:0007610	behavior	The internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of animals (individuals or groups) to internal or external stimuli, via a mechanism that involves nervous system activity.
GO:0019098	reproductive behavior	The specific behavior of an organism that is associated with reproduction.
GO:0007617	mating behavior	The behavioral interactions between organisms for the purpose of mating, or sexual reproduction resulting in the formation of zygotes.
GO:0060179	male mating behavior	The specific behavior of a male organism that is associated with reproduction.
GO:0034606	response to hermaphrodite contact	The response by the male to a hermaphrodite after initial contact following mate finding. The male stops forward locomotion, presses the ventral side of his tail against his partner's body, and begins moving backward along the hermaphrodite.
