Inheritance of the acoustic signal parameters in interspecific hybrids of the bank (Myodes glareolus) and the Tien Shan (M. centralis) voles

The continuity of behavioral responses in the traits of offspring can be interpreted ambiguously because animal behavior can be transmitted from generation to generation genetically or can be trained. Inheritance of the sound signals characteristics in the absence of directional selection is of particular interest, and that was the purpose of the present work. Comparisons of distress signals of hybrids of the Tien Shan vole females Myodes...
