Paternal care in biparental rodents: intra-and inter-individual variation
Parental care by fathers, although rare among mmmals, can be essential for the survival and normal development of offspring in …

Effects of repeated pup exposure on behavioral, neural, and adrenocortical responses to pups in male California mice (Peromyscus californicus)
In biparental mammals, the factors facilitating the onset of male parental behavior are not well understood. While hormonal changes in …

Predator presence decreases food consumption in juvenile Xenopus laevis
Predators impact prey in direct (lethal) and indirect (non-lethal) manners. Predator-avoidance models capitalize on the non-lethal …

The role of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal/interrenal axis in mediating predator-avoidance trade-offs
Maintaining energy balance and reproducing are important for fitness, yet animals have evolved mechanisms by which the …

Effects of parental status on male body mass in the monogamous, biparental California mouse
Studies of biparental mammals demonstrate that males may undergo systematic changes in body mass as a consequence of changes in …

Chronic variable stress in fathers alters paternal and social behavior but not pup development in the biparental California mouse (Peromyscus californicus)
Stress and chronically elevated glucocorticoid levels have been shown to disrupt parental behavior in mothers; however, almost no …

Physiological and neuroendocrine responses to chronic variable stress in male California mice (Peromyscus californicus): influence of social environment and paternal state
Social environment and parental state affect stress responses in mammals, but their impact may depend on the social and reproductive …

Effects of aging on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity and reactivity in virgin male and female California mice (Peromyscus californicus)
Life history theory posits that organisms face a trade-off between current and future reproductive attempts. The physiological …
