The genetic basis of parental care evolution in monogamous mice

Parental care is essential for the survival of mammals, yet the mechanisms underlying its evolution remain largely unknown. Here we show that two sister species of mice, Peromyscus polionotus and Peromyscus maniculatus , have large and heritable differences in parental behaviour. Using quantitative...
