对田鼠的比较研究表明,Avpr1基因上游的多态性微卫星有助于一夫一妻制的进化。最近的一项研究对这一假设提出了挑战,报告说,在21种田鼠中,微卫星结构与一夫一妻制之间没有关系。虽然这项研究表明,微卫星不是一个决定交配策略的通用遗传开关,但这些发现并不排除Avpr1ain在调节与一夫一妻制相关的社会行为方面的重要作用。
Comparative studies in voles have suggested that a polymorphic microsatellite upstream of theAvpr1alocus contributes to the evolution of monogamy. A recent study challenged this hypothesis by reporting that there is no relationship between microsatellite structure and monogamy in 21 vole species. Although the study demonstrates that the microsatellite is not a universal genetic switch that determines mating strategy, the findings do not preclude a substantial role forAvpr1ain regulating social behaviors associated with monogamy.
