Behaviour of Two-sex Groups of Mice at 4, 21 and 33°C

Abstract

Groups of mice comprising two males only, two males plus two females, two males plus six females, or two males plus 14 females were housed in pens at 4, 21 or 33°C. The pens were partitioned into two territories connected by a small hole and each subdivision was equipped with two box shelters on either side of an open area containing food, water and woodwool.
