From: Biased brain and behavioral responses towards kin in males of a communally breeding species
Male spiny mice engaged in more prosocial behavior with novel kin than novel non-kin but did not investigate them differently. Male spiny mice mean (\(\pm\) SEM) time in seconds (s) engaged in (A) prosocial behavior and (B) investigation. Male spiny mice spent more time engaged in prosocial behavior with novel kin (orange) than novel non-kin (plum). Spiny mice displayed a trend towards investigating novel kin more than novel non-kin specifically at the flank (green). Dots represent individual data. *Indicate P ≤ 0.05.
