AI Thread Summary
Mating behavior is considered genetically inheritable, playing a significant role in speciation. Various sex-linked behaviors, such as nest building, territory defense, and courtship rituals, demonstrate how genetics influence these behaviors. The discussion highlights that modified mating behaviors can lead to evolutionary changes and species differentiation, underscoring the genetic basis of such behaviors.

Evidently, since modified mating behavior is one of the chief proposed outcomes/causes of speciation.
 
Yes, there are numerous, sex-linked behaviors that thus genetically driven. Think about behaviors that make males different from females: nest building, establishing and defending a territory, courtship rituals, etc. I think you can see how these are inheritable.
