Pair-bonding allows for division of labor across behavioral tasks such as protecting territory, caring for pups or foraging for food. However, how these labor divisions are determined, whether they are simply intrinsic differences in the individual’s behavior or a coordinated behavioral response by the pair, remains unknown. We used the monogamous, biparental and territorial California mouse (Peromyscus californicus) to study how behavioral approach to an aggressive vocal stimulus in a novel environment was affected by pair-bonding. Using a three-chambered vocal playback paradigm, we first measured the amount of time individuals spent in close proximity to aggressive bark vocalizations. We found that animals could be categorized as either approachers or avoiders and that these categorizations were robust across retesting. We then paired individuals based on their initial approach behavior to an opposite sex individual who displayed either similar or different approach behaviors. These pairs were then retested for approach behavior as a dyad 7-11 days post-pairing. This test found that pairs showed convergence in their behavioral responses, such that pairs who were initially different in their approach behaviors became more similar, and pairs that were initially similar remained so. Finally, we analyzed the ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) produced and found that pairs produced significantly more USVs than individuals. Importantly, the number of USVs correlated with the pairs’ level of behavioral convergence. Taken together, this study shows that pair-bonded animals alter their approach behaviors to coordinate their response with their partner and that vocal communication may play a role in coordinating these behavioral responses. Overall, this indicates pair-bonding generates an emergent property in pairs, adjusting their combined approach behavior towards stimuli representing a potential challenge to the bonded pair.
