Self-grooming induced by sexual chemical signals in male root voles (Microtus oeconomus Pallas).
Sniffing is one-way animals collect chemical signals, and many males self-groom when they encounter the odor of opposite-sex conspecifics. We tested the hypothesis that sexual chemical signals from females can induce self-grooming behavior in male root voles (Microtus oeconomus Pallas). Specifically, we investigated the sniffing pattern of male root voles in response to odors from the head, tru...
متن کاملMultiple paternity in free-living root voles (Microtus oeconomus).
We used 10 microsatellite loci to determine the mating system and male reproductive success in a natural population of the root vole (Microtus oeconomus). By genotyping 21 females and their 111 offspring (5.28+/-0.27 S.E. pups per female), we found evidence for multiple paternity in 38% of the litters sired by two or three males. Paternity was not significantly skewed away from the null expecta...
متن کاملMorphometric Differences among Root Vole (muridae: Microtus Oeconomus) Populations in Hungary
Isolated by hundreds of kilometers from the main population, the southernmost populations of root voles (Microtus oeconomus) are vulnerable to extinction in Hungary. Due to restrictions imposed by their protected status, only a limited number of surveys have been conducted to assess the status of the Hungarian populations. Our goal was to understand the historical relationship between Hungarian...
متن کاملAmygdala but not hippocampal lesions impair olfactory memory for mate in prairie voles ( Microtus ochrogaster).
Exposure to an unfamiliar male conspecific results in pregnancy interruption (i.e., the Bruce effect) in rodents. Unlike most laboratory rodents, female prairie voles ( Microtus ochrogaster) are induced into estrus by chemosensory stimuli contained in the urine of male conspecifics while grooming the anogenital (A-G) region of unfamiliar males. Female prairie voles maintain a brief "memory" for...
متن کاملHolarctic phylogeography of the root vole (Microtus oeconomus): implications for late Quaternary biogeography of high latitudes.
A species-wide phylogeographical study of the root vole (Microtus oeconomus) was performed using the whole 1140 base pair mitochondrial (mt) cytochrome b gene. We examined 83 specimens from 52 localities resulting in 65 unique haplotypes. Our results demonstrate that the root vole is divided into four main mtDNA phylogenetic lineages that seem to have largely allopatric distributions. Net diver...
