This work in Peromyscus by @hkiaris1 is a great example of the importance of diversity in model organisms & inclusion of those more closely modeling human social conditions! Mice are powerful, but diversity empowers innovation! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.64711

Persistent effects of pair bonding in lung cancer cell growth in monogamous Peromyscus californicus
