description | In socially monogamous mammals, male behaviour can have important consequences on production and survival of offspring. Therefore, females in these species could enhance their reproductive success by discriminating among potential male social partners and mates on the basis of phenotypic cues correlated with male fidelity and paternal behaviour. Prairie voles, Microtus ochrogaster, are socially monogamous rodents that typically form pair bonds and show extensive biparental care. In male prairie voles, variation in the length of microsatellite DNA in the regulatory region of the avpr1a gene encoding the vasopressin 1a receptor (V1aR) underlies differences in V1aR neural expression and is correlated with significant differences in partner preference and paternal behaviour. Previous laboratory studies demonstrated that males possessing longer avpr1a microsatellite alleles spend more time with their female social partner, sire offspring with fewer females and provide more paternal care relative to males with shorter avpr1a microsatellite alleles. Our results from laboratory preference trials showed that female voles from populations in Illinois and Kansas displayed significant social and sexual preferences for males that possessed longer avpr1a microsatellite alleles. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that females are using phenotypic cues whose expression is correlated with a male’s avpr1a microsatellite genotype to discriminate among potential mates. These social and sexual preferences for males with longer avpr1a microsatellite alleles may result in increased female reproductive success.
► We examined whether female prairie voles prefer males with long avpr1a microsatellite alleles. ► Females showed social and sexual preferences for males with long avpr1a microsatellite alleles. ► Females from two natural populations behaved similarly. ► Prior laboratory studies showed that males with longer avpr1a microsatellite alleles provide more parental care. ► Effect of preference on female fitness in nature still needs to be determined. |
