Male prairie voles with different avpr1a microsatellite lengths do not differ in courtship behaviour.

Behavioural processes - 1 Jul 2016

Graham Brittney M, Solomon Nancy G, Noe Douglas A, Keane Brian

Abstract excerpt

Females are generally expected to be selective when choosing their social and sexual partners. In a previous laboratory study, female prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) showed significant social and sexual preferences for males with longer microsatellite DNA within the avpr1a gene encoding the vasopressin 1a receptor, as predicted if females select mates whose parental behaviour should increase female...
