Chromosomal heterozygosity and fertility in house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) from Northern Italy.
Following the discovery of over 40 Robertsonian (Rb) races of Mus musculus domesticus in Europe and North Africa, the house mouse has been studied extensively as an ideal model to determine the chromosomal changes that may cause or accompany speciation. Current models of chromosomal speciation are based on the assumption that heterozygous individuals have a particularly low fertility, although ...
متن کاملNo evidence for punishment in communally nursing female house mice (Mus musculus domesticus)
Punishment is claimed as an important mechanism to stabilise costly cooperation in humans, but its importance in social animals has been questioned recently due to both conceptual considerations and a lack of empirical evidence (only few published studies). We empirically tested whether there is evidence for punishment in communally nursing house mice (Mus musculus domesticus, direct descendant...
متن کاملThe risk of exploitation during communal nursing in house mice, Mus musculus domesticus

Communal offspring care in species with altricial young may reduce the costs for a parent, but it comes with a risk of exploitation, jeopardizing the evolution of stable cooperation.

متن کاملPaternal imprinting of mating preferences between natural populations of house mice (Mus musculus domesticus).
The evolutionary divergence of cues for mate recognition can contribute to early stages of population separation. We compare here two allopatric populations of house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) that have become separated about 3000 years ago. We have used paternity assignments in semi-natural environments to study the degree of mutual mate recognition according to population origin under con...
متن کاملEffects of social stress and intrauterine position on sexual phenotype in wild-type house mice (Mus musculus).
Wild-type house mice were used to test the effect of intrauterine position on anogenital distance (AGD) and to verify whether crowding stress would masculinize female pups, developing at all intrauterine positions, as has been demonstrated in CF-1 mice stressed by restraint, heat, and light. Stress of crowding was documented by comparing aggressive behavior, litter birth weights, and plasma cor...
