Vasopressin and pair-bond formation: genes to brain to behavior.
Microtine rodents provide an excellent model for the study of the neurobiology of social bonds. In this review, we discuss how the presence of a microsatellite sequence in the prairie vole vasopressin receptor gene may determine vasopressin receptor binding patterns in the brain and how these patterns may in turn affect social behavior.
متن کاملThe neurobiology of pair bond formation, bond disruption, and social buffering.
Enduring social bonds play an essential role in human society. These bonds positively affect psychological, physiological, and behavioral functions. Here, we review the recent literature on the neurobiology, particularly the role of oxytocin and dopamine, of pair bond formation, bond disruption, and social buffering effects on stress responses, from studies utilizing the socially monogamous pra...
متن کاملMate Preference of Female Blue Tits Varies with Experimental Photoperiod
Organisms use environmental cues to time their life-cycles and among these cues, photoperiod is the main trigger of reproductive behaviours such as territory defence or song activity. Whether photoperiod is also important for another behaviour closely associated with reproduction, mate choice, is unknown. In many bird species, mate choice occurs at two different times during the annual cycle th...
متن کاملMate-pair editing: a perspective to double mate-pair sequencing coverage
In this report, I am proposing a hypothetical approach that can enable sequencing of four short reads from the same insert using Illumina next-generation sequencing. The methodology is similar to that used in mate-pair sequencing except that it involves two circularization steps and the sequencing slide should have four different oligonucleotides.
متن کاملDoes Foraging Behaviour Affect Female Mate Preferences and Pair Formation in Captive Zebra Finches?
BACKGROUND Successful foraging is essential for survival and reproductive success. In many bird species, foraging is a learned behaviour. To cope with environmental change and survive periods in which regular foods are scarce, the ability to solve novel foraging problems by learning new foraging techniques can be crucial. Although females have been shown to prefer more efficient foragers, the e...
