- W4220928689 abstract "Cooperative behaviour, sociality and reproductive suppression in African mole-rats have been extensively studied. Nevertheless, endocrine correlates of some species of social mole-rats have been neglected, and these species may hold the key to understanding the behavioural and physiological complexity that allows the maintenance of social groups in African mole-rats. In this study, we investigated endocrine correlates implicated in the suppression of reproduction and cooperative behaviours, namely glucocorticoids (a stress-related indicator) through faecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGCMs), plasma testosterone (an indicator of aggression) and plasma prolactin in the Mahali mole-rat (Cryptomys hottentotus mahali) across reproductive classes (breeding females and males, non-breeding females and males) and season (wet and dry). Breeders possessed higher levels of testosterone than non-breeders. In reproductively suppressed non-breeding females, fGCMs were significantly higher than in breeders. Furthermore, an adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test (ACTH challenge test) on both male and female non-breeders revealed that female non-breeders show a more significant response to the ACTH challenge than males. At the same time, plasma prolactin levels were equally elevated to similar levels in breeding and non-breeding females. Chronically high levels of prolactin and fGCM are reported to cause reproductive suppression and promote cooperative behaviours in non-breeding animals. Furthermore, there was a negative relationship between plasma prolactin and progesterone in non-breeding females. However, during the wet season, a relaxation of suppression occurs through reduced prolactin which corresponds with elevated levels of plasma progesterone in non-breeding females. Therefore, prolactin is hypothesised to be the primary hormone controlling reproductive suppression and cooperative behaviours in non-breeding females. This study provides new endocrine findings for the maintenance of social suppression in the genus Cryptomys." @default.
