Obesity in male volcano mice Neotomodon alstoni affects the daily rhythm of metabolism and thermoregulation [PDF]
The mouse N. alstoni spontaneously develops the condition of obesity in captivity when fed regular chow. We aim to study the differences in metabolic performance and thermoregulation between adult lean and obese male mice.

Plasticity in parental behavior and vasopressin: responses to co-parenting, pup age, and an acute stressor are experience-dependent. [PDF]
IntroductionThe impact of variation in parental caregiving has lasting implications for the development of offspring. However, the ways in which parents impact each other in the context of caregiving is comparatively less understood, but can account for ...

PARENTAL BEHAVIOR OF THE VOLCANO MOUSE, NEOTOMODON ALSTONI (RODENTIA: MURIDAE), IN CAPTIVITY [PDF]
Paternal behavior of the volcano mouse (Neotomodon alstoni) was studied and its role in the care of young compared with that of the female. Paternal behavior of this rodent under laboratory conditions consisted of direct and indirect activities, such as huddling, grooming, sniffing, and retrieving young as well as maintenance and vigilance of the nest.

The inhibition of infanticide can be considered a prerequisite for the onset of paternal behavior. Thus, hormones such as testosterone (T) would be expected to mediate the inhibition of aggression toward pups and the onset of paternal care.

Flipping the parental switch: from killing to caring in male mammals. [PDF]
Killing of unrelated young by sexually naïve male mammals is taxonomically widespread, but in many species, males subsequently show paternal care or at least do not harm their own young.

Paternal behavior and testosterone plasma levels in the Volcano Mouse Neotomodon alstoni (Rodentia: Muridae). Although initially it was thought that testosterone inhibited the display of paternal behavior in males of rodents, it has been shown that in ...

Two opposite phenomena have been found in territorial animals, the "dear enemy'' and the "nasty neighbour'', which refer to individuals that show less aggression toward neighbours than toward strangers and vice versa. However, the need to maintain territory should differ for males and females because sexual reproduction is the result of the different ...
