Abstract
Sexually naive male mice allowed to observe conspecifics engaged in copulation later exhibited a preference ( p<0.01) for the odor of estrous females over that of diestrous females. They also mounted estrous females more frequently than diestrous females ( p<0.001). Naive males observing noncopulating pairs or isolated females exhibited a preference ( p<0.01) for the odor of diestrous females over that of estrous females but showed no difference in mounting behavior in the presence of estrous versus diestrous females.
