Are prairie voles monogamous?

Yes, prairie voles are monogamous. Studies have shown that vasopressin induces pair bonding with a female mate and also paternal care in male prairie voles. This monogamy is characterized by the vole's strong commitment to its pair, demonstrated by their willingness to exert significant effort to reunite with their mate after being separated, which contrasts sharply with the behavior of non-monogamous voles 1 2.
