青春期是动物性成熟和社会成熟的关键过渡阶段，在此期间动物获得了独自应对各种环境挑战的技能。我们调查了一种鸟类，斑胸草雀，在这一时期的社会环境是如何影响它们在性方面的行为的。研究人员将42只斑胸草雀在青春期饲养成双（雄性-雌性或雄性-雄性）或较大的混合性别群体（3只雄性和3只雌性），并对它们的求爱行为、攻击性和吸引力进行了长期研究。为了研究观察到的影响随时间的稳定性，在最初记录后大约4个月重复所有行为测试。与单一雌性一起长大的雄性表现出最强烈的求偶行为和最高的攻击性，对雌性最有吸引力，而群体饲养的雄性表现出最低的求偶行为和攻击性，最不具吸引力。观察到的求爱和攻击性的差异是稳定的，而吸引力的差异随着时间的推移而消失。这些发现与早期对豚鼠的研究非常相似，表明观察到的效果代表了一种普遍现象，而不仅仅局限于具有类似功能和可能也有类似潜在机制的哺乳动物。
Adolescence is the pivotal transitional phase during which animals become sexually and socially mature and acquire the skills to cope with a variety of environmental challenges on their own. We investigated in a bird species, the zebra finch, how the social environment experienced during this period influences their behaviour in a sexual context. Zebra finches were kept in pairs (male–female or male–male) or larger mixed-sex groups (three males and three females) during adolescence and the long-term consequences were studied on courtship behaviour, aggressiveness and attractiveness in 42 males. To investigate the stability of the observed effects over time, all behavioural tests were repeated approximately 4 months after the initial recordings. Males that grew up with a single female showed the most intense courtship and highest aggressiveness and were most attractive to females, while group-reared males had the lowest courtship and aggressiveness and were the least attractive. The observed differences in courtship and aggressiveness were stable, while the differences in attractiveness disappeared over time. These findings are very similar to earlier studies on guinea pigs, indicating that the observed effects represent a general phenomenon, not restricted to mammals with a similar function and presumably also similar underlying mechanisms.
