“…In addition to this strongly supportive evidence for the HDL theory from large domesticated mammals, there is also a diverse literature on factors that affect maternal suckling behaviour in rodents. These data indicate that a key factor influencing maternal suckling duration is the risk of the mother overheating during the suckling bout (Leon et al, 1978;Leon et al, 1983;Bates et al, 1985;Leon et al, 1985;Adels and Leon, 1986;Newkirk et al, 1998). Further support for the HDL theory comes from comparisons of the reproductive performance of mice selectively bred to enhance their capacity to dissipate heat (Nielsen et al, 1997a;Nielsen et al, 1997b;Kgwatalala et al, 2004;McDonald and Nielsen, 2006).…”

“…For example, the body temperatures at which rats discontinue suckling are generally lower than the levels they tolerate while exercising outside the nest (Kittrell & Satinoff 1988). Perhaps more important are experimental inductions of reduced body temperature using sodium salicylate, which did not extend suckling bouts (Bates et al 1985). Although treatment of lactating rats with morphine simultaneously elevates body temperature and disrupts maternal suckling (above), the negative effect of morphine appears to be independent of its effects on body temperature.…”

“…An alternative explanation was proposed by Croskerry et al [40] suggesting that contact with pups in the nest induces maternal hyperthermia and serves as a constraint on the amount of time a dam may spend on her nest. This hypothesis has received much attention, and evidence both for and against it has been gathered from various species [41-43, but see 44-46]. Our data indicate that contact with pups did not correlate with peaks in T b in lactating grass rats.…”
