Agonistic onset marks emotional changes and dispersal propensity in wild house mouse males (Mus domesticus).
The authors investigated implications of agonistic onset for anxiety and dispersive motivation in maturing wild house mouse males (Mus domesticus). Laboratory-kept fraternal pairs either developed agonistic dominance or stayed amicable during their first 2 months of life, when the authors assessed open-field behavior and dispersal propensity. State anxiety was lower in amicable than agonistic m...
متن کاملUrine marking in populations of wild house mice Mus domesticus Rutty. I. Communication between males
Various hypotheses proposed for the function of urine marking in communication betweeen male house mice were examined by comparing the predicted responses towards urine marks with those observed within eight captive territorial family groups. The responses of individual resident males in four classes (dominant and subdominant adults, subadults and juveniles) were measured towards familiar resid...
متن کاملUrine marking in populations of wild house mice Mus domesticus Rutty. III. Communication between the sexes
The potential roles of urine marking for intersexual communication between house mice were examined within eight captive territorial family groups. The responses of resident males (dominant and subdominant adults, subadults and juveniles) and females (breeding and non-breeding adults, subadults and juveniles) were measured towards introduced urine marks from familiar resident, familiar neighbou...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Glue Traps against Wild Populations of House Mice, <i>Mus domesticus</i>, Rutty
Field research was conducted from Purdue University during 1991 to 1993 to examine some aspects of the efficaciousness of the various types of glue traps against wild populations of house mice. The research was conducted in agricultural and livestock buildings containing various infestation levels of mice. Tests compared the capture and escape rates of glue boards vs. trays, covered vs. uncover...
متن کاملMetabolism and Thermoregulation in Crosses between Wild and Random-Bred Laboratory House Mice (Mus domesticus)
We conducted a "common garden" experiment to compare aspects of thermoregulation and metabolism in wild and random-bred laboratory house mice (Mus domesticus) and their reciprocal crosses. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) indicated that, after accounting for effects of body mass and other appropriate covariates (e.g., age), wild (N = 12) and hybrid (N = 25) mice together tended to have higher (+...
