摘要：

Aggressive behaviour was observed to be rare in small family groups of confined wild house mice, Mus musculus L. Unrelated mice were attacked when they were introduced to a family group and in their presence intra‐family aggressive behaviour increased. When two family groups of mice were allowed to meet there were frequent aggressive encounters between unrelated animals and the two groups remained separate. Resident mice were found to be aggressive towards males and females individually isolated and returned to their own family after 2 or 3 weeks absence but not after 1 week. The possibility is discussed that in wild mice odour discrimination influences the dispersal and build‐up of free‐living populations. Copyright © 1969, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
