Metabolism 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 (+...
متن کاملGenetic variation and correlations between genotype and locomotor physiology in outbred laboratory house mice (Mus domesticus).
Laboratory strains of house mice (Mus domesticus) are increasingly used as model organisms in evolutionary physiology, so information on levels of genetic variation is important. For example, are levels of genetic variation comparable to those found in populations of wild house mice? We studied allozymes to estimate genetic variation in outbred Hsd:ICR mice, which have been used in several stud...
متن کاملExercise physiology of wild and random-bred laboratory house mice and their reciprocal hybrids.
We conducted a "common garden" experiment to compare aspects of exercise physiology and voluntary wheel-running behavior in wild and random-bred (i.e., non-inbred) laboratory house mice and their reciprocal crosses. Analysis of covariance indicated that, after effects of body mass and other appropriate covariates (e.g., age at testing) were accounted for, wild (range 2.46-3.30 m/s, n = 12) and ...
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 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...
