Family Affairs and Experimental Male Replacement Affect Fecal Glucocorticoid Metabolites Levels in the Egyptian Spiny Mouse Acomys cahirinus

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In social animals, a temporary intrusion of an unfamiliar adult male into an established family group and/or male replacement may be accompanied by social stress. We performed experiments involving non-invasive monitoring of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (GCMs) in 10 manipulated family groups (50 individuals in total) of the Egyptian spiny mouse Acomys cahirinus. Study animals were kept in special apparatuses enabling individual collection of fecal samples without considerable disturbance to family group members. The results of this study revealed only limited effects of experimental male intrusion and/or removal on GCM levels. Nevertheless, GCM levels of adult males sharply decreased following immigration into a new family group which provided themnew breeding and social opportunities. We also found that there was no effect of age and only a partial effect of sex (males exhibited lower values) on baseline GCM levels. In contrast, there were considerable and consistent differences
