摘　　要：Dear Editor,Instinctual male mating actions serve the fundamental purpose of bringing the two gametes together in sexually reproducing species[1,2].Upon encountering a conspecific female,a male mouse investigates the female's body and external genital regions.Subsequently,the male mouse may mount the female and initiate rhythmic pelvic thrusts(intromission),leading to ejaculation and sperm transfer after several cycles.Notably,in mice,the transition from investigatory behaviors to consummatory mating actions,such as mounting and intromission,occurs stochastically and non-deterministically,marked by considerable inter-individual and intra-trial variability.Moreover,there is a gradual decline in the proportion of males progressing to successive mating stages-from social investigation to mount,intromission,and ejaculation-within a given trial.
