Scientific Reports, 2023 In socially monogamous prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster), parental behaviors not only occur in mothers and fathers, but also exist in some virgin males. In contrast, the other virgin males display aggressive behaviors towards conspecific pups. However,

Vasopressinergic Neurocircuitry Regulating Social Attachment in a Monogamous Species
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017 The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is a socially monogamous rodent species that forms a lasting connection between mates, known as a pair bond.

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023 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 ...

A genetic linkage map and comparative mapping of the prairie vole (
BMC Genetics, 2011 Background The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is an emerging rodent model for investigating the genetics, evolution and molecular mechanisms of social behavior. Though a karyotype for the prairie vole has been reported and low-resolution comparative

Affiliation, Aggression, and Selectivity of Peer Relationships in Meadow and Prairie Voles
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019 Relationships between adult peers are central to the structure of social groups. In some species, selective preferences for specific peers provide a foundation for consistent group composition.

Brain functional networks associated with social bonding in monogamous voles
eLife, 2021 Previous studies have related pair-bonding in Microtus ochrogaster, the prairie vole, with plastic changes in several brain regions. However, the interactions between these socially relevant regions have yet to be described.
