Learning and personality types are related in cavies (Cavia aperea).

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Psychology (Washington, D C: 1983), 2014
The evolution and maintenance of consistent individual differences, so called animal personalities, have attracted much research interest over the past decades. Variation along common personality traits, such as boldness or exploration, is often associated with risk-reward trade-offs.

Age at maturity in cavies and guinea‐pigs (Cavia aperea and Cavia aperea f. porcellus): influence of social factors

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, 2006
AbstractAge at maturity, a particularly important parameter in the life history of small mammals, contributes greatly to fitness. Social influences on age at maturity have been demonstrated for altricial rodents, in particular, mice. Nothing is known about such effects in precocial small mammals.

Carbonic anhydrase isozymes in Cavia porcellus, Cavia aperea and their hybrids

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1972
Abstract 1. 1. The isozymes of carbonic anhydrase have been studied in Cavia aperea and Cavia porcellus . Electrophoretic differences were found for high and low activity forms in each species. 2. 2. Hybrid (F1) species possessed a mixture of the parental isozymes. The F2 offspring were tested for isozyme phenotype.

Olfactory recognition of individuals by male cavies (Cavia aperea)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1982
In one study, using a habituation procedure, male South American cavies,Cavia aperea, distinguished individual differences in odors collected from three sources: perineal gland secretions, urine, and supracaudal gland secretions. In a second study, male cavies spent more noninvestigatory time and rested more on the side of a cage containing the odor of

Effect of season on reproductive behaviors and fertilization success in cavies (Cavia aperea)

open access: yesTheriogenology, 2018
Finding the optimal timing for breeding is crucial for small mammals to ensure survival and maximize lifetime reproductive success. Species living in temperate regions therefore often restrict breeding to seasons with favorable food and weather conditions.

Photoperiodic effects on reproductive development in male cavies (Cavia aperea)

open access: yesPhysiology & Behavior, 2014
Age at maturity is a particularly important life history parameter, as it predicts potential life time reproductive success in many small mammal species. Animals should therefore optimize the timing of maturation by reacting to environmental stimuli that predict future environmental conditions. Photoperiod often reliably predicts ecological conditions.

Changing supply and demand by cross-fostering: effects on the behaviour of pups and mothers in guinea pigs, Cavia aperea f. porcellus, and cavies, Cavia aperea

open access: yesAnimal Behaviour, 2008
The regulation of parental supply and offspring demand was modelled for altricial birds. The situation might differ for precocial species, where offspring can also feed themselves. We investigated the effect of supply and demand on mother–offspring interaction in precocials by cross-fostering pups between the domestic guinea pig and its ancestor, the ...
