Weak effects of common genetic variation in oxytocin and vasopressin receptor genes on rhesus macaque social behavior
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22873
Abstract: The neuropeptides oxytocin (OT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) influence pair bonding, attachment, and sociality, as well as anxiety and stress responses in humans and other mammals. The effects of these peptides are mediated by genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23234
Abstract: Most primate species are highly social. Yet, within species, pronounced individual differences in social functioning are evident. In humans, the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) measures variation in social functioning. The SRS provides a quantitative measure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aur.2675
Abstract: Nonhuman primates and especially rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) have been indispensable animal models for studies of various aspects of neurobiology, developmental psychology, and other aspects of neuroscience. While remarkable progress has been made in our… read more here.

Oxytocin receptors are widely distributed in the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) brain: Relation to social behavior, genetic polymorphisms, and the dopamine system
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.25382
Abstract: Oxytocin regulates social behavior via direct modulation of neurons, regulation of neural network activity, and interaction with other neurotransmitter systems. The behavioral effects of oxytocin signaling are determined by the species‐specific distribution of brain oxytocin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cne.25476
Abstract: Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a neuropeptide critical for the mammalian stress response and social behavior. AVP produced in the hypothalamus regulates water osmolality and vasoconstriction in the body, and in the brain, it regulates social… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9686
Abstract: Abstract Variation in behavior within marine and terrestrial species can influence the functioning of the ecosystems they inhabit. However, the contribution of social behavior to ecosystem function remains underexplored. Many coral reef fish species provide… read more here.
