A primera vista no parecen m\u00e1s que pompones con ojos temblorosos y brillantes, que suelen acabar alimentando a comadrejas, halcones y serpientes, pero su conducta es extraordinaria. Es uno de los pocos mam\u00edferos socialmente mon\u00f3gamos, que en su conjunto no representan m\u00e1s que el 3% de los mam\u00edferos (aunque eso no significa necesariamente que sean sexualmente mon\u00f3gamos). Los cient\u00edficos han visto en el complejo comportamiento social de los topillos un modelo ideal para comprender algunos de los impulsos m\u00e1s tiernos y misteriosos de la humanidad: por qu\u00e9 nos enamoramos, por qu\u00e9 nos preocupamos por nuestras parejas, cuidamos de nuestros hijos, e incluso, por qu\u00e9 lloramos a nuestros muertos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/ciencia\/2023-02-11\/la-leccion-amorosa-del-topillo-de-las-praderas-o-por-que-no-hace-falta-oxitocina-para-enamorarse.html\" >Keep reading<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An experiment to &#039;start&#039; the so-called love hormone in these extremely monogamous animals does not affect their pair bonds, contrary to what scientists thought.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-63080","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-portal"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63080"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63080\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63081,"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63080\/revisions\/63081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forocilac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
