Abstract
After mating tests 6 golden hamster males were subjected to operative removal of the seminal vesicles and prostate and then again tested for mating behavior. 6 weeks after the original operation each of the animals was castrated and post-operative mating tests continued. The results show no influence of the vesicles or prostate on mating behavior, and the mating behavior after castration was not significantly different than that of a control group who had only the testes removed. 16 references.
