Abstract:
Much of the area that is now west-central Kentucky historically existed as grass dominated ecosystems. Unfortunately, most of those grasslands are gone due mostly to disturbance suppression and conversion to agricultural lands. Federal, state, and nongovernmental agencies have, particularly within the last several decades, undertaken the responsibility and goal of preserving and attempting to restore many of North America's lost grasslands. The USDA in conjunction with local landowners has initiated the CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) and the CREP (Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program); two popular farm bill-based conservation programs. Among the many conservation practices that these programs fund is grassland restoration. The goal of this project is to restore multiple areas using widely applicable restoration techniques and to assess the impact that three of the most commonly used CRP and CREP plant mixes will have on prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) populations. Small mammal trapping will be used to assess crucial variables such as recruitment, population density, body mass, survival, habitat choice, and home range will be measured to quantify the relative success of small mammals with respect to each plant mixture. Results from this study showed that certain small mammals, particularly prairie voles, were more successful in habitats that had a higher proportion of grasses relative to forbs. These results are consistent with the habitat and dietary preferences reported in the literature for prairie voles.

Abstract:
The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster), a highly social species, offers a unique opportunity to examine the effects of parent-pup separation in a biparental family system similar to humans. We hypothesized that 1) repeated separation from pups affects parental behavior and emotionality in parents, and 2) neonatal parental separation affects emotional and physiological development in pups, and thus induces altered adult parental, emotional, and social behaviors. During postnatal day (PND) 1-10, pups were removed from their parents for 0, 15, or 360 min and housed either individually or with siblings. Unhandled controls experienced only daily lid opening. Tests for parental responsiveness and emotionality were conducted on PND11 for parents and PND90-92 for their offspring. Emotionality tests included the elevated plus maze, open field, and forced swim tests. Starting at PND150, half of each litter was paired with an opposite-sex vole for 24 hours and tested for partner preference. Additionally, behavioral response to stress was measured in all animals 0, 30, or 60 min after exposure to a forced swim. Generally, the behavior of the parents and adult offspring was influenced by daily handling, the length of the separation, and presence of siblings. Parental behaviors in parents did not differ among groups, while their anxiety- and depression-like behaviors were influenced by pup separation. For the adult offspring, separation treatment altered parental behavior, emotionality, partner preference, and stress response. Our results demonstrated that parent-pup separation affects emotional and social behaviors in prairie vole parents and adult offspring.

Abstract:
Unlike most rodent models, prairie voles, show very few sex differences in social behavior. Despite the similarities in their behavior male and female voles, appear to use different physiological machinery to achieve the same behavioral goals. Therefore, male and female voles are likely to respond differently to pharmacological behavioral modifiers. To test whether the behavioral effects of serotonin potentiation vary by gender and/or reproductive context, I compared the effects of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine on parental and aggressive behavior in pairbonded, parentally-experienced male and female voles, and in pairbonded, parentally-inexperienced male and female voles. Because sociosexual experience influences the function of the serotonin system, the target of fluoxetine, I also compared serotonergic function in male and female voles that had mated, remained with a same-sex sibling, or been paired with a novel conspecific of the same sex. Fluoxetine increased the latency to parental behavior in parentally-experienced male and female voles and pairbonded, parentally-inexperienced male voles. Fluoxetine also decreased aggressive behavior in parentally-experienced male voles, but had no effect on the aggressive behavior of parentally-experienced female voles, or pairbonded, parentally-inexperienced voles of either sex. In addition, fluoxetine reduced serotonin turnover in the frontal cortex and hypothalamus/preoptic area of male and female voles. Serotonin turnover was also affected by sociosexual experience. Mating and cohabitation with a mate increased serotonin turnover in the hypothalamus of male and female voles. Furthermore, the levels of serotonin and 5-hydroxy-indoleacetic acid in the frontal cortex and amygdala were sexually dimorphic. Although this thesis focused primarily on the influence of gender and reproductive context on the behavioral effects of fluoxetine, it also revealed important aspects of parental and aggressive behavior that were independent of the effects of fluoxetine. Parentally-inexperienced female voles were infanticidal one week into pregnancy whereas their mates were parental. Furthermore, the aggressive behavior of parentally-inexperienced, pairbonded voles but not parentally-experienced voles was affected by the gender composition of the resident-intruder pair. Parentally-inexperienced, pairbonded voles were more aggressive with opponents of the same sex than opponents of the opposite-sex. The findings described in this thesis suggest that fluoxetine has sexually dimorphic effects on behavior and that sociosexual factors influence the effects of fluoxetine on behavior as well as the function of the serotonin innervation of the brain.
