Social influences on food choices of Norway rats and mate choices of Japanese quail.
Here 1 review the two major lines of research in which my laboratory has been engaged for the past 35 years. The first of these research programs concerns the description and analysis of social learning processes influencing food choices of Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus). The second involves social interactions affecting mate choices of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Study of these model ...

For the last decade, Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) have served as subjects in an extended series of studies of social influences on reproductive behavior. The results of those studies are summarized here. Females prefer to affiliate with males that they have seen courting and mating, whereas males avoid females that they have seen courting and mating, and both males and females prefer to c...

We have shown previously that after a focal female Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica, sees a conspecific male mating, the focal female's tendency to affiliate and to mate with that male is significantly increased. Here we describe two experiments demonstrating that a focal female quail that has seen a conspecific male mating subsequently shows an enhanced tendency to affiliate not only with tha...

Each experiment was conducted in three 10-min phases: (1) a pretest during which a focal male chose between two females; (2) an observation phase, when each focal male watched the female he had spent more time near during the pretest (his ...
