Individualized social niches in animals: Theoretical clarifications and processes of niche change
What are social niches, and how do they arise and change? Our first goal in the present
article is to clarify the concept of an individualized social niche and to distinguish it from …

Two pup vocalization types are genetically and functionally separable in deer mice
Vocalization is a widespread social behavior in vertebrates that can affect fitness in the wild.
Although many vocal behaviors are highly conserved, heritable features of specific …

An acute dose of intranasal oxytocin rapidly increases maternal communication and maintains maternal care in primiparous postpartum California mice
Maternal-offspring communication and care are essential for offspring survival. Oxytocin
(OXT) is known for its role in initiation of maternal care, but whether OXT can rapidly …

Division of labour in territorial defence and pup retrieval by pair-bonded California mice, Peromyscus californicus
Division of labour allows group-living species to efficiently complete tasks while minimizing
resource expenditure. This generally involves task allocation between individuals. In …
