Gene regulation as a modulator of social preference in voles.

Advances in genetics - 1 Jan 2007

Hammock Elizabeth A D

Abstract excerpt

Most mammalian species are nonmonogamous: the female alone cares for the young and males and females do not share nest sites. Within the genus Microtus, there exists ample diversity in social structure for neuroethological and neurobiological investigation. Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are socially monogamous: both the males and females contribute to care of the young within a shared nest site as a...
