NT213739 genotype influences partner preference formation in male prairie voles. The effect of genotype on behavior was investigated using two-way ANOVA. The interaction of genotype×stimulus on huddling duration was significant (F(1,136)=4.45, P=0.037). Males with a C/C genotype (N=39) spent significantly more time huddling with the partner than the stranger while animals with a C/T (N=13) or T/T (N=18) genotype did not. * indicates a partner preference, mean partner huddling time is significantly greater than mean stranger huddling time (t-test, P < 0.01). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
