Stress And Social Relationships: The Role Of Corticosterone In The Formation And Maintenance Of Pair Bonds In The Monogamous Zebra Finch (taeniopygia Guttata)
… to form a pair bond. Data from humans and prairie voles, monogamous rodents, suggest that activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) in males increases attraction for females. Across species, females are understudied, but evidence from the prairie vole suggests HPA …

Effects of a Small Mammalian Herbivore on a Grassland Undergoing Restoration
This thesis examines the effects of the prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster, on a grassland undergoing restoration. The study addresses these effects with respect to treatment plots (vole-enhanced enclosures and vole-excluded exclosures) and control plots, which have not had the small mammal …

The Effects Of Courtship And Pairing Behavior On The Nonapeptide And Noradrenergic Systems Of Adult Male And Female Zebra Finches
… relationships in any species other than the prairie vole (Goodson 2013). However, there is evidence that nonapeptides are important in pair bonding for both male and female zebra finches (Lowrey & Tomaszycki, 2014) and treatment with an OT antagonist results in an increased latency to pair in …

Effects of connectivity and regional dynamics on restoration trajectories for small mammal communities on Midwestern grasslands
… American ecosystems, with ≤ 1% of tallgrass prairie remaining. The State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE) is a national conservation program that converts agricultural fields into grasslands with the primary focus on improving habitat for high priority wildlife species. Because small …

Factors Affecting the Distribution and Abundance of Microtus Ochrogaster and M. Pennsylvanicus in East-Central Illinois (Competition, Agonistic)
… case of habitat segregation between the meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus) and the prairie vole (M. ochrogaster) was investigated in east-central Illinois. Local distribution of the two species indicated a strong negative association. Multivariate analysis of variance of the vegetation …

Molecular regulation of vasopressin receptor among (mostly) monogamous prairie voles
… about its underlying mechanisms. We use the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) to examine how intraspecific variation in brain and behavior emerges as a result of genetic, epigenetic and environmental variation. Although prairie voles are socially monogamous, they vary in sexual fidelity; …

Social defeat and oxytocin regulation of social avoidance and stress-related signaling proteins
… social avoidance. Particularly, social defeat in prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) advantageously allows the study of female subjects due to their spontaneous display of aggression towards unfamiliar conspecifics after pair bond formation. Once defeated, prairie voles exhibit social avoidance …
