分组和性别对野生板齿鼠动情调节的影响

Biol Reprod. 1982 Dec;27(5):1023-5. doi: 10.1095/biolreprod27.5.1023.

Bandicoot rats in laboratory conditions show irregularity in their estrous cycle. A majority of the animals, however, manifest regularity in their cycle following all-female grouping and the presence of a male. The probable participation of a pheromone(s) in the reproduction of this wild rat is suggested.

在实验室条件下，袋狸鼠的发情周期不规律。然而，大多数动物在全雌群体和有雄性存在的情况下，其周期表现出规律性。这表明一种或多种信息素可能参与了这种野生鼠的繁殖过程。
