摘要
Endroczi et al (1958) reported that only lactating rats in the presence of their young would kill frogs. This “maternal aggression” could be suppressed by infections of oestrone. No aspect of that study was confirmed in the experiments reported here. Nonfrog-killing rats were not induced to kill by lactation and the presence of their young. A significant number of naive virgin female rats did kill frogs and the frog-killing response was not suppressed by oestrone. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc.. All rights reserved.
