Sexually naive male and female montane voles (Microtus montanus) were tested in a two-choice odor preference situation. Females, but not males, spent more time investigating bedding soiled by a conspecific of the other sex than clean, unsoiled bedding. Both naive females and males spent more time near male-soiled rather than female-soiled bedding. Males with extensive monogamous sexual experience exhibited a preference for female-soiled bedding when the comparison stimulus was clean bedding but no preference when the comparison was with male-soiled bedding.
在一个二选一的气味偏好测试中，对性经验缺乏的雄性和雌性山地田鼠（Microtus montanus）进行了测试。雌性田鼠会花更多时间去探究被其他性别的同种个体弄脏的垫料，而不是干净未被弄脏的垫料，雄性田鼠则不然。无论是性经验缺乏的雌性还是雄性田鼠，待在被雄性弄脏的垫料附近的时间都比待在被雌性弄脏的垫料附近的时间长。有丰富一夫一妻制性经验的雄性田鼠，当比较刺激物是干净垫料时，会表现出对被雌性弄脏的垫料的偏好，但当比较对象是被雄性弄脏的垫料时，则没有偏好。
