Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
The idea of human implication is both fascinating and scary. If this research continues we've basically found a "cure" for cheating. Imagine a world with no Maury paternity tests because the woman had the monogamous bond with one man. One question that is raised about this is human implication even possible. We're a tad more complex than voles, we have to take in income, complicated emotions, and a more structured society when we pick our mates, and these factors always change. One day you're fucking a successful doctor and the next day that doctor is unemployed. Could biochemistry really beat sociology and you stay with the now ex-doctor, knowing employed men out there will take care of you better?
There's also the "change brain chemistry=change who you are" argument.
This is fascinating in the whole nature v nurture debate, a cheating father doesn't mean a cheating son.

I love reading studies. Thanks for this. 
It isn't anything new and you can even get oxytocin as a nasal spray in some countries. For natural boosting it's hugs (touching is good for social groomers), good food, social exercise and sharing adrenalin producing experiences (roller-coasters etc.). Stress inhibits the production which is why people in high stress jobs or couples with money worries are more likely to cheat.
Just because our society is complex doesn't mean the chemistry is. If you were with a successful doctor and they lost their job it is more likely that the doctor would be unfaithful as they would have the higher release of stress hormones. Taking "better care" of your partner is subjective to a degree. My father was cheating piece of garbage and the more stress he was under the worse he would get. My bf, on the other hand, does not have a high paying job at the moment but he is very conscientious and would never abandon his kids.
There are some areas that cross over the two. Children who have less stable home environments tend to become more impulsive, forming social bonds very quickly but not maintaining them well. So a cheating parent who creates an unstable home environment is more likely to produce children who fall in and out of 'love' very rapidly.
