Anterior hypothalamic vasopressin regulates pair-bonding and drug-induced aggression in a monogamous rodent.

abstract：:A paradigm of evolutionary biology is that adaptation and reproductive isolation are caused by a nearly infinite number of mutations of individually small effect. Here, we test this hypothesis by investigating the genetic basis of pollinator discrimination in two closely related species of monkeyflowers that differ in...
