摘要
Confirming previous investigations involving descendants of C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ mouse strains, significant phenotypic, environmental, and genetic correlations (r=-0.53, -0.24, -0.92, respectively) were found between open-field activity and defecation in recombinant-inbred strains descended from a cross of C57BL/6By and BALB/cBy strains. These correlations were found to be dependent on the level of illumination in the open-field test. They were statistically significant in a brightly illuminated open field but statistically insignificant in a dimly illuminated test situation. © 1979 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
