Partner Preference Development in Female Prairie Voles Is Facilitated by Mating or the Central Infusion of Oxytocina
Abstract
Results of these experiments indicate that females given at least 24 hours of cohabitation with a male develop a social preference for the familiar partner versus a stranger. Mating is not essential for the development of partner preferences, but clearly facilitates the onset of preferences. Females given six hours of cohabitation showed partner preferences only if they mated with the partner during cohabitation (Experiment 2) or if they received oxytocin (Experiment 3). Females that continued to mate during preference tests (Experiment 2, n = 4) mated exclusively with the partner. Oxytocin infusions, even in the absence of mating or estrogen priming, facilitated the development of partner preferences.

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.
