The Relationship Between Dominance Rank and Spatial Ability Among Male Meadow Voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus)
Males of many mammalian species exhibit contest competition and scramble competition for mates, but the relationship between these 2 forms of competition remains poorly understood. The authors measured dominance rank and spatial ability as traits likely to be selected by contest and scramble competi...

| description | Males of many
mammalian species exhibit contest competition and scramble competition for mates, but the
relationship between these 2 forms of competition remains poorly understood. The authors
measured dominance rank and spatial ability as traits likely to be selected by contest and
scramble competition, respectively, among male meadow voles (
Microtus
pennsylvanicus
). The spatial ability of males was assessed using water maze
tests, and dominance rank was determined using paired trials in a neutral arena. Dominant
males had better spatial-learning ability and tended to have quicker learning speed but
did not have better spatial memory than less aggressive subordinates. Therefore, the
authors found no evidence that contest and scramble competition have favored alternative
reproductive phenotypes among male meadow voles. |
