Age of pairing affects reproduction in prairie voles [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1991 The effect of the age at pairing on reproduction of weanling prairie voles was studied. The proportion of pairs producing a litter within 60 days was influenced significantly by the age at pairing. More voles paired at 31 days of age produced litters than those paired at 21 days of age.

Duration of postpartum estrus in the prairie vole [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1986 The present study was designed to delineate the duration of postpartum estrus in the prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster. Breeding pairs were separated prior to parturition, and males were reintroduced to the females 0–12 h, 12–24 h, 24–48 h, or 48–72 h postpartum. Pairs were observed for 1 h to determine whether mating occurred.

Empathy in prairie voles: Is this the consolation prize? [PDF]
Learning & Behavior, 2016 Although it is well known that humans and great apes are capable of engaging in consolation, an affiliative behavior directed toward distressed individuals, it has largely been assumed that this form of empathy was restricted to species possessing more complex cognitive functions.

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Early-life sleep disruption (ELSD) has been shown to have long-lasting effects on social behaviour in adult prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster), including impaired expression of pair bonding during partner preference testing.

The effect of watering on a prairie vole population [PDF]
Acta Theriologica, 1982 Wyjsciową hipotezą pracy bylo, ze brak wody per se lub wody jako stymulatora wzrostu roślinności jest powodem spadku rozrodu w populacji M. ochrogaster w ciągu lata. Badania prowadzono od 21 maja do 16 października 1979 r., na trzech ogrodzonych powierzchniach, po 0,81 ha kazda. Jedna z nich byla nawadniana przez 8 deszczowni, druga zaopatrywana w wode

What we know about wildlife outcomes of the conservation reserve program: A meta‐analysis
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Abstract The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is one of the most extensive private‐land conservation programs in the United States, aimed at mitigating habitat loss and supporting biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Individual studies of CRP effects on wildlife report mixed results, necessitating a comprehensive synthesis.

Why we Should Study Solitary Species to Understand the Costs of Group‐Living
Ethology, EarlyView.It's easier to measure the benefits than the costs of a trait. Solitary species benefit by avoiding the costs of group living. Thus, measuring benefits of solitary living informs us about the costs of group living. ABSTRACT While for decades behavioral ecologists have studied the benefits of group living, measuring its costs has been more difficult. It

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.Our review synthesizes how early‐life experiences shape behavioural development in rodents, drawing on developmental plasticity, non‐genetic inheritance and epigenetic mechanisms. Using African striped mice (Rhabdomys) and other small mammal systems as case studies, it presents an integrative framework linking parental care, developmental pathways and ...
