Both social and environmental factors may affect sexual maturation in female house mice (370), female house mice puberty (352, 374), fertility in cotton top tamarins Saguinus oedipus oedipus (371), and the endocrine response of Macaca fascicularis males to receptive females (372).

In primates, effects can be complex. Female cotton-top tamarins, Saguinus o. oedipus, require three conditions to start sexual behavior and ovarian cyclicity. These are release from the suppression by their mother, release from suppression by other family members, and direct contact with, or stimulation by, an unfamiliar male (Widowski etal, 1990).
