大多数关于哺乳动物亲代行为机制的知识来自于对母亲行为的研究。对雄性亲代抚育及其直接因果关系的研究较少。通过在出生当天移动幼鼠和/或交配，并在产后第3天或第5天与1至3天大的外来幼鼠单独测试父母10分钟，研究了双代加利福尼亚小鼠父系和母系行为的维持情况。幼崽的存在维持了母崽的反应性护理。相反，母亲的存在维持了父亲的反应。母亲和父亲之间的直接身体接触对于维持父亲的行为是不必要的。母亲的排泄物足以让父亲保持父爱。
Most knowledge of the mechanisms underlying parental behaviour in mammals is derived from studies of maternal behaviour. Male parental care and its proximate causation has been less well studied. The maintenance of paternal and maternal behaviour in the biparental California mouse was investigated by moving the pups and/or mate on the day of birth and testing parents individually on day 3 or day 5 postpartum for 10 min with a 1- to 3-day-old alien pup. Pup presence maintained maternal responsiveness care. In contrast, presence of the mother maintained paternal responsiveness. Direct physical contact between mother and father was not necessary for maintenance of paternal behaviour. Maternal excreta were sufficient to keep fathers parental.
