田鼠属

在这篇综述中，我们论述了如何以啮齿类田鼠属（Microtus）为模型，通过比较研究来帮助我们理解社会性单配制的进化以及其神经调控机制。

In this review we examine the contribution that comparative studies using rodents of the genus Microtus ( voles ) have made to understanding the evolution of social monogamy and the underlying mechanisms , including the neural circuitry , that regulate the expression of monogamy .

在一些分类中被认为是田鼠属的同义词。

In some classifications considered synonymous with Microtus .

对田鼠属的研究不仅证实了单配制起源于艰苦的生存条件的假说，而且还证实了雌性性选择可能有利于维持单配制。

Studies with Microtus species support the hypothesis that monogamy may evolve under harsh conditions , while also suggesting that female sexual selection may help to maintain monogamy .
