Longitudinal Trajectories and Inter-parental Dynamics of Prairie Vole Biparental Care
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 For altricial mammalian species, early life social bonds are constructed principally between offspring and their mothers, and the mother-offspring relationship sets the trajectory for offspring bio-behavioral development. In the rare subset of monogamous

Neuroscience, 2020 Social bonds such as parent-infant attachment or pair bonds can be critical for mental and physical well-being. The monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) has proven useful for examining the neural substrates regulating social behaviors ...

Avian influenza overview December 2025–February 2026
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Between 29 November 2025 and 27 February 2026, 2514 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (406) and wild (2108) birds in 32 countries in Europe. Albeit still at high levels after the peak was reached at the beginning of the current reporting period, the weekly number of detections has since ...

How prior pair-bonding experience affects future bonding behavior in monogamous prairie voles
bioRxiv, 2020 Monogamous prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) form mating-based pair bonds. Although wild prairie voles rarely re-pair following loss of a partner, laboratory studies have shown that previous pairing and mating does not negate the ability to form a new

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Cryptosporidium spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi are significant enteric pathogens that affect a wide range of animal hosts, posing potential zoonotic risks. Wildlife–livestock interfaces are increasingly recognized as key settings for pathogen spillover, yet molecular epidemiological data from Xinjiang, China, remain limited.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 12, December 2025.Morphometric analysis of the cochlea was conducted on 12 species of African mole‐rats (Bathyergidae), revealing that cochlear features related to hearing resolution correlate with body size. Compared to other mammals, bathyergid cochleae resemble the apical, low‐frequency‐tuned regions of typical mammalian cochleae.

Lactobacilli with probiotic potential in the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) [PDF]
Gut Pathogens, 2015 Recent research suggests integration of the intestinal microbiota in gut-brain communication which could lead to new approaches to treat neurological disorders. The highly social prairie voles are an excellent model system to study the effects of environmental factors on social behavior.
