Epigenetic aging studies of pair bonding in prairie voles

Scientific Reports
The quality of romantic relationships can predict health consequences related to aging. DNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging accurately estimate chronological age.

BAC-based sequencing of behaviorally-relevant genes in the prairie vole. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is an important model organism for the study of social behavior, yet our ability to correlate genes and behavior in this species has been limited due to a lack of genetic and genomic resources.

Amphetamine reward in the monogamous prairie vole [PDF]

Neuroscience Letters, 2007
Recent studies have shown that the neural regulation of pair bonding in the monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is similar to that of drug seeking in more traditional laboratory rodents. Therefore, strong interactions between social behavior and drug reward can be expected. Here, we established the prairie vole as a model for drug studies by

Population connectivity in voles (Microtus sp.) as a gauge for tall grass prairie restoration in midwestern North America.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Ecological restoration can promote biodiversity conservation in anthropogenically fragmented habitats, but effectiveness of these management efforts need to be statistically validated to determine 'success.' One such approach is to gauge the extent of ...

Milk composition and volume in meadow voles and prairie voles [PDF]

Acta Theriologica, 1988
Meadow and praire voles differ in frequency and duration of nursing. Authors examine differences in pattern of maternal investment by comparing the volume and composition of milk produced by the two species.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from the prairie vole. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The vast majority of animals mate more or less promiscuously. A few mammals, including humans, utilize more restrained mating strategies that entail a longer term affiliation with a single mating partner.

Transcriptional diversity of the oxytocin receptor in prairie voles: mechanistic implications for behavioral neuroscience and maternal physiology

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
The neurohormone oxytocin regulates many aspects of physiology primarily by binding to its receptor, the oxytocin receptor. The oxytocin receptor gene (Oxtr) has been shown to have alternative transcripts in the mouse brain which may each have different ...

Cardiac regulation in the socially monogamous prairie vole [PDF]

Physiology & Behavior, 2007
Social experiences, both positive and negative, may influence cardiovascular regulation. Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are socially monogamous rodents that form social bonds similar to those seen in primates, and this species may provide a useful model for investigating neural and social regulation of cardiac function. Cardiac regulation has not

Development of genomic resources for the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster): construction of a BAC library and vole-mouse comparative cytogenetic map

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is a premier animal model for understanding the genetic and neurological basis of social behaviors. Unlike other biomedical models, prairie voles display a rich repertoire of social behaviors including ...
