Females prefer cooperative males even when cooperative behavior is unobserved: evidence from the mound-building mouse, <i>Mus spicilegus</i>

2017-10-03

Abstract excerpt

Theoretical and empirical studies in humans suggest that cooperative behaviors may act as signals during mate choice. However, cooperation is not always observable by potential partners before mate choice. To address whether cooperative phenotypes are preferred based on cues different from cooperative behaviors per se, we designed an experimental paradigm using wild-born mound-building mice ( Mus spicilegus ), a...
