title: Open-field behavior in mice: generality of results from a diallel analysis of replicate selected lines.
abstract: Data from a diallel cross of six lines composing a replicated selection study for open-field behavior in mice are reanalyzed to investigate the generality of the findings. The results support the hypothesis that only additive variation would be found for open-field behavior if additional selection lines were derived from the same foundation population.
