Summary. When female laboratory mice mated to dominant or subordinate stud males were exposed 1 day later to the original stud, a strange dominant male or a strange subordinate, strange dominant males induced more pregnancy block than did strange subordinates. However, the social status of the stud male did not significantly alter the risk of pregnancy block after exposure to strange males.

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
