Artificial selection for short and long attack latencies in wildMus musculus domesticus

van Oortmerssen, G. A., Bakker, Th. C. M.·1981·Behavior Genetics

Abstract

Artificial selection for short and long attack latency levels in wild male Mus musculus over 11 generations was successful for short latencies. The realized heritability of 0.30 is comparable to those found in other selection studies on aggression. In part selection may have been for faster onto-genetic development of short attack latencies. Four attempts to select for longer attack latencies failed because the lines died out immediately or within two generations for unknown reasons. But neither the physical condition of the animals nor their behavior appeared to have been the cause. Female aggressiveness as measured in female-female encounters was not affected by the selection exerted on the males. This suggests that no genetic correlation exists between aggressiveness of males and females, confirming results of P. D. Ebert and J. S. Hyde [(1976). Behav. Genet. 6:291-304] obtained in a selection experiment on aggression using females.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The Finland and Holland lines were selectively bred based on a single behavioral criterion, either increased aggression toward non-aggressive mice or decreased attack latency toward intruder mice.

    “Considering that the Finland and Holland lines were selectively bred based on a single behavioral criterion, either increased aggression toward non-aggressive mice [40] or decreased attack latency toward intruder mice [41]”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
