Social stress, which is a part of the interaction between animals, can be defined as the set of physical stresses caused specifically by the presence and actions of certain conspecifics. Dense populations are characterized by considerably increased intermale and interfemale aggressive behavior. This establishes a hierarchy which influences reproduction of the animals. Aggression of adults toward unrelated juveniles harms the physiological development of attacked young. Stress from crowding during pregnancy can affect reproductive activity even through the second generation. During postnatal development, sexual maturation of juveniles can be delayed by the presence of group-living adults. In adult females, disturbance of homeostasis after fertilization can evoke untimely termination of pregnancy. In monogamous rodents, removal of the male partner reduces the number of parturitions. In several species, recently inseminated females exposed to a strange male will lose developing embryos. Thus, sociogenic stressors are among the most important factors affecting fecundity in animals. |
