Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasopressin is a hormone that has been linked to pair-bonding behavior in prairie voles. Males with elevated levels of vasopressin are more likely to form long-lasting pair-bonds with their mate and help with parental care. Testosterone, estradiol, and prolactin have not been strongly linked to pair-bonding behavior in prairie voles.
