Abstract
⺠We collected data from males of 16 family groups of striped mice. ⺠We mimicked alternative reproductive tactics observed in the field in captivity. ⺠We measured morphological, behavioral and hormonal differences, oxytocin and vasopressin. ⺠Solitary males had higher concentrations of stored vasopressin in the PVN and BNST. ⺠Solitary males are physiologically ready to increase vasopressin levels in the brain to switch tactic.
