abstract：:Oxytocin and vasopressin are known to be important in affiliative behaviors. Although these peptides have been shown to be involved in monogamous pairing behavior in a few mammalian species, their role across monogamous species is not well understood. In particular, monogamy is most common in birds, yet the role of me...
