MICE REARED WITH RATS: MODIFICATION OF BEHAVIOR BY EARLY EXPERIENCE WITH ANOTHER SPECIES.

Mice in group 1 (controls) spent all their lives with other mice. Mice in group 2 had experience only with male and female rats after weaning; group 3 mice had no experience with peers-each litter was reduced to one pup, which was reared in isolation after weaning; group 4 mice were fostered to a lactating rat mother at approximately 3 days of age and thereafter lived only with rats. In adulthood group 4 mice were the least active and group 3 the most; mice in groups 2 and 4 preferred to spend time in a chamber adjacent to a rat, those from groups 1 and 3 in a chamber containing another mouse; when mice were paired off within experimental groups and given the opportunity to fight each other, the percentage of pairs in which 4 were, respectively, 44,27,100, and 0.

Interaction of olfactory and other environmental stimuli on implantation in the deer mouse.

Recently inseminated female deer mice were exposed to changes in physical environment, including size of available space, newness of environment, and a stud or strange male in order to test the hypothesis that a strange male decreases the incidence of pregnancy in recently inseminated females (Bruce effect). The data confirm the Bruce effect but also indicate that changes in physical environment produced great effects on implantation in recently inseminated females.
