CAREER: The behavioral, hormonal, and neural basis of coyote monogamy — NSF Award to Utah State University (UT, $1,131,989)
After several decades of research on the neuroscience of social bonding, most discoveries have come from studies of monogamous rodents and to a lesser extent in monogamous primates. Monogamous pair bonding is relatively rare in rodents and primates, but all wild canid species studied to date exhibit monogamy. This rend

| Abstract | After several decades of research on the neuroscience of social bonding, most discoveries have come from studies of monogamous rodents and to a lesser extent in monogamous primates. Monogamous pair bonding is relatively rare in rodents and primates, but all wild canid species studied to date exhibit monogamy. This renders canids particularly suitable for the study of social bond maintenance and loss, especially coyotes (Canis latrans), which exhibit exclusive mating and stable pair bonds across |
