Abstract
26 isolate-reared male mice show progressively shorter latencies to fight concomitant with weekly, brief social encounters. Subjects exposed to male peers showed shorter latencies than males exposed to female peers. Possible effects of cage size and/or visual experience are discussed. It is suggested that the effects of various life histories upon aggression be investigated.Keywords
