Montane voles (Microtus montanus) respond to brief conspecific encounters with strange voles by adrenergic reactions which result in elevations of their core temperatures by approximately 1.0 degrees C. Elevations of body temperatures and agonistic behaviors decrease in intensity with sequential encounters between the same conspecific challengers but are restored when one of the challengers is replaced by a new "strange" vole. The rates of habituation of agonistic behaviors and of hyperthermic response are a function of the number of encounters permitted, rather than time between encounters. Levels of hyperthermic responses resulting from contact between previously habituated animals are higher than those elicited by non-specific stimuli such as noise or handling. Radiotelemetry of feral animal temperature homeostasis may provide a useful measure of low-frequency social encounters between conspecific voles.
山地田鼠（Microtus montanus）在与陌生田鼠进行短暂的同种相遇时会产生肾上腺素能反应，这会使它们的核心体温升高约1.0摄氏度。随着与同一同种挑战者的连续相遇，体温升高和攻击行为的强度会降低，但当其中一个挑战者被新的“陌生”田鼠取代时，这些反应会恢复。攻击行为和体温过高反应的习惯化速率是允许相遇次数的函数，而不是相遇之间的时间。先前习惯化的动物之间接触所产生的体温过高反应水平高于由噪音或处理等非特异性刺激引起的反应水平。对野生动物体温稳态的无线电遥测可能为同种田鼠之间的低频社交相遇提供一种有用的测量方法。
