MORE CONGRATS for a job well done, this time to Arielle Liu, M.A.! Arielle's thesis '#Oxytocin and aggression in Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) in Kirindy Mitea National Park, Madagascar' is one of very few studies on OT & aggression! #lemurs #bioanth #WomenInSTEM

6/6 This spp w facultative paternal care makes prenatal & postnatal hormone adjustments. Prenatally ⬆ estradiol could prep them for paternal care once infants arrive (or reflect wt gain), but isn't associated w acute behavioral changes like androgens are. TY🙏! #AnimBehav2021

4/6 ☑️ Expectant male estradiol ⬆️4x ~10 days before their infants' birth! Here are 4 males' profiles. This could prep them for fatherhood. ❌ Estradiol unrelated to huddle, carry, play, groom, hold, & composite score (Total Care). No support for short-term role. #AnimBehav2021

3/6 We studied lemurs in Ranomafana Natl Park, Madagascar rainforest for 2 yrs @CentreValBio. We collected ~2700h behavioral data & fecal samples for hormone analysis. We have data during fetal & infant development. Samples analyzed @LEEPUArizona. The team was BIG #AnimBehav2021

Stacey Tecot 🌵 @stecot.bsky.social · 26/01/2021

2/6 Estradiol ⬆️ maternal sensitivity. In a few spp with obligate paternal care (incl. us) it ⬆️ in expectant males. Does it also ⬆️ in facultative spp with loads of variation BEFORE infants are born? Is it associated w infant care behavior AFTER infants are born? #AnimBehav2021

Stacey Tecot 🌵 @stecot.bsky.social · 26/01/2021

1/6 Are hormones involved in facultative paternal care? Monogamous red-bellied #lemurs live in prs. Dads are in contact w infants as much as men in US & some months more than moms. But there's LOTS of variation! Dads provide 0-37% of all care across development. #AnimBehav2021

Red-bellied lemur dads are fantastic, so this is their day. Dads carry, hold, huddle, groom & play w/ infants, are usually the ones to go after them when they fall, encourage them to jump and make sure they keep up. Photo by Velontsara Jean Pierre.
