Description
. In our laboratory, anosmic female mice displayed decreased maternal behavior and offspring recognition. In an unpublished study performed by a former Seattle Pacific University biology student, maternal recognition of pups was analyzed shortly after parturition and long after parturition in anosmic mice. In this study, to complement the former student’s observation, I will be analyzing how anosmia in male Peromyscus californicus will affect the male’s ability to discriminate his pups from foreign pups.
