与攻击相关的行为和发声对动物生存、繁殖和组织社会等级至关重要。长爪沙鼠（Meriones unguiculatus）具有高度攻击性，经常发出叫声。我们利用这些特点，通过同性居住者-入侵者测试，研究了在处女和性经验的男性和女性蒙古沙鼠的发声和攻击行为之间的关系。两种性别的居民沙鼠表现出侵略性的反应对入侵者。在四组中，经产雌性表现出最具攻击性的反应。我们还确认了两组发声：高频（>24.6 kHz）和低频（<24.6 kHz）。在测试期间观察到的高频发声的时间，绝大多数（96.2%）的行为相互作用是非激动性的。然而，在测试期间观察到的低频发声时间，大约一半（45%）的行为相互作用是激动性的。低频发声，主要是在遇到多产的女性参与。这些结果表明，高频和低频发声涉及非激动和激动的相互作用，分别。除了影响攻击性行为，性经验也会影响遭遇时的发声。这些研究结果提供了新的见解性和性经验的调节作用，在激烈的遭遇发声。
Behaviors and vocalizations associated with aggression are essential for animals to survive, reproduce, and organize social hierarchy. Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) are highly aggressive and frequently emit calls. We took advantage of these features to study the relationship between vocalizations and aggressive behaviors in virgin and sexually experienced male and female Mongolian gerbils through the same-sex resident-intruder test. Both sexes of resident gerbils exhibited aggressive responses toward intruders. Multiparous females exhibited the most aggressive responses among the four groups. We also confirmed two groups of vocalizations during the encounters: high-frequency (>24.6 kHz) and low-frequency (<24.6 kHz). At the timing of high-frequency vocalizations observed during the tests, the vast majority (96.2%) of the behavioral interactions were non-agonistic. While, at the timing of low-frequency vocalizations observed during the tests, around half (45%) of the behavioral interactions were agonistic. Low-frequency vocalizations were observed mainly during encounters in which multiparous females were involved. These results suggest that high- and low-frequency vocalizations relate to non-agonistic and agonistic interactions, respectively. In addition to affecting aggressive behavior, sexual experience also affects vocalization during encounters. These findings provide new insights into the modulatory effects of sex and sexual experience on vocalizations during agonistic encounters.
