Apparently, we no longer think that we have much connection to the biological forces which drives animal behaviour, but it seems we still do. In a study conducted by researchers at UCLA, the University of Miami and Cal State, Fullerton, it has been found out that during ovulation female animals become flirty, seeking to attract their male counterparts, in hopes of procreation. During ovulation a woman dresses more flirty, for the same reason animals do and is said to be more attracted at this time to men with physiques that signifies virility. (I knew that about women, based on my experience, so I can attest to this).
This could assist in maximizing a couple's chance of conceiving, because this is another way that a woman can tell the most fertile period in her cycle. I have found myself relying on this for a few of my cycles as well.
The study also found that female animals avoid close interaction with their male kin during periods of highest fertility in an effort to avoid inbreeding and women call their fathers less frequently during the period of highest fertility and when they do call, the calls are shorter than they would be for low fertility periods and this seem to be for the same reason animals avoid their male kin.

"Evolutionary biologists have found that females in other species avoid social interactions with male kin during periods of high fertility," said the study's lead author Debra Lieberman, a University of Miami assistant professor of psychology. "The behavior has long been explained as a means of avoiding inbreeding and the negative consequences associated with it. But until we conducted our study, nobody knew whether a similar pattern occurred in women."The findings appear in the latest issue of Psychological Science.
The study builds on a mounting body of evidence of subtle and significant ways in which women's behavior is unconsciously affected by the approach and achievement of ovulation -- a physical change that in humans has no outward manifestation of its own. Research has found that women tend to dress more attractively, to alter the pitch of their voices ways that are perceived as more attractive by men, and to contemplate more frequently the possibility of straying from their mates during high as opposed to low fertility periods of their menstrual cycle. Research has also shown that women are more attracted during high-fertility periods to men whose physique and behavior are consistent with virility, especially if they're not already mated to men with these characteristics."
