Genetic analysis of different kinds of aggressive behavior - September, 1993

Various kinds of aggressive behavior such as spontaneous intermale aggression, predatory aggression(locust-killing behavior), and irritable (shock induced) aggression were investigated in inbred strains of mice. Genotype was hown to affect significantly the phenotypic variety of these kinds of aggression. There were however, no interstrain correlations either between intermale aggression and predatory behavior or between intensity of intermale, shock-induced aggression and locust killing behavior.
