The genetics of pheromonally mediated aggression in mice. I. Strain difference in the capacity of male urinary odors to elicit aggression.
Castrates scented with urine from intact DBA males elicited greater attack with a shorter attack latency than castrates scented either with male urine from other strains or with water. The results suggest that genetic factors affect pheromonally elicited aggression in mice
