Physiological substrates of mammalian monogamy: The prairie vole model
Abstract
Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are described here as a model system in which it is possible to examine, within the context of natural history, the proximate processes regulating the social and reproductive behaviors that characterize a monogamous social system. Neuropeptides, including oxytocin and vasopressin, and the adrenal glucocorticoid, corticosterone, have been implicated in the neural regulation of partner preferences, and in the male, vasopressin has been implicated in the induction of selective aggression toward strangers. We hypothesize here that interactions among oxytocin, vasopressin and glucocorticoids could provide substrates for dynamic changes in social and agonistic behaviors, including those required in the development and expression of monogamy. Results from research with voles suggest that the behaviors characteristics of monogamy, including social attachments and biparental care, may be modified by hormones during development and may be regulated by different mechanisms in males and females.

“Since this selective aggression serves, in part, to reject potential new partners, it represents an ongoing mechanism of maintenance of the pair bond (Carter et al 1995).”

In the citing paper
“These two observable behavioral measures describe different dimensions of the pair bond: partner preference measures the motivational force bringing the partners together, while selective aggression measures mate-guarding and the rejection of new, potential partners (Carter et al 1995).”

“Both parents contribute nearly equally to nurturing the young, and in natural environments alloparental care is commonly observed [1] (Box 1; Figure 1A).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
