Individual Variation in Social Behaviours of Male Lab-reared Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) is Non-heritable and Weakly Associated with V1aR Density

Scientific Reports, 8(1), 1396.

By: A. Vogel  n, H. Patisaul* , S. Arambula, F. Tiezzi*  & L. McGraw*

Contributors: A. Vogel  n, H. Patisaul* , S. Arambula, F. Tiezzi*  & L. McGraw*

MeSH headings : Animals; Arvicolinae / physiology; Basal Forebrain / metabolism; Female; Male; Mating Preference, Animal; Pair Bond; Receptors, Vasopressin / metabolism; Social Behavior
topics (OpenAlex): Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior; Evolutionary Psychology and Human Behavior; Attachment and Relationship Dynamics
TL;DR: Heritability estimates of variation in partner preference were low, yet heritability estimates for V1aR expression were high, indicating that the extensive variation in Partner preference observed within this population is due largely to environmental plasticity. (via Semantic Scholar)
