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.

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.

The Monogamy Gene Could Also Act in Humans [PDF]
, 2008 Research has revealed that genetic variations in the human gene AVPR1A affect the disposition and aptitude of individuals to live in a relationship. Thus the activity of this gene could influence the quality of marital relationships and very likely our ...
