Care of infants is a hallmark of mammals. Whereas parental care by mothers is obligatory for
offspring survival in virtually all mammals, fathers provide care for their offspring in only an …

In a minority of mammalian species, mothers depend on others to help raise their offspring.
New research is investigating the neuroendocrine mechanisms supporting this allomaternal …

Reproduction strongly influences metabolism, morphology and behavior in female
mammals. In species in which males provide parental care, reproduction might have similar …

Ingestion of placenta by mammalian mothers can lead to changes in pain sensitivity,
hormone levels, and behavioral responses to newborns. In some biparental mammals …

California mice (Peromyscus californicus) differ from most other mammals in that they are
biparental, genetically monogamous, and (compared with other Peromyscus) relatively …

Motherhood is energetically costly for mammals and is associated with pronounced changes
in mothers' physiology, morphology and behavior. In~ 5% of mammals, fathers assist their …

In male mammals that provide care for their offspring, fatherhood can lead to changes in
behavioral, morphological, and physiological traits, some of which might constitute trade …

Introduction: Neuroplastic and endocrine-related alterations that accompany motherhood
have been well-studied, with these changes promoting well-being in both the mother and …
