摘要

啮齿类动物的居住方式在不同物种和同一物种内都有差异,从群体到独居和领土(1)。支持这种行为区别的机制可能是社会动机的不同水平,而不是明确的物种典型社会行为。因此,有社会动机的动物学习寻找行为,导致群体居住模式,而没有社会动机的动物不学习这种行为,保持孤独。目前的实验通过测量群居的草原田鼠和独居的草地田鼠的社会动机来验证这一假设。虽然它们的显性社会行为相似,但草原田鼠很容易学会为接近目标田鼠而做出工具性反应,而草地田鼠则没有。发情状态和目标的性别都不影响两种动物的仪器反应。总之,不同的社会动机可能导致啮齿类动物不同的居住模式。

Social Motivation and Residential Style in Prairie and Meadow Voles
The residential style of rodents varies across and within species from colonial to solitary and territorial (1). A mechanism that supports this behavioral distinction might be differential levels of social motivation rather than explicit species-typical social behavior. Accordingly, socially motivated animals learn seeking behavior that leads to a colonial residential pattern and socially unmotivated animals do not learn this behavior and remain solitary. The present experi- ments test this hypothesis by measuring social motivation in a gregarious social species of vole, the prairie vole, and in a solitary species, the meadow vole. Although their explicit social behavior was similar, Prairie voles readily learned to per- form an instrumental response for access to a target vole while meadow voles did not. Neither the estrus status nor the sex of the target affected instrumental responding in either species. In sum, differential social motivation may contribute to distinctive residential patterns in rodents.
