    Notes: Abstract Female mice of lines divergently selected for thermoregulatory nesting were mated at 5°C and were fed eitherad libitum or restricted diets. Gestation period and litter size at birth were not affected by food restriction, but both fertility and litter size at weaning were significantly reduced by restriction. The reduction in litter size by restricted females was positively associated with the weight of both females and pups at weaning. The pattern of response to food restriction was generally more conservative than that expected on the basis of r-selection predictions. There was also a significant reduction in the proportion of males weaned by restricted females. Differences among the selected lines in both feeding regimes were generally consistent with the hypothesis that thermoregulatory nesting has a positive genetic correlation with Darwinian fitness at low temperatures.

    Notes: Abstract The genetic correlation between maternal nesting (weight of cotton used in the nest built on the day of parturition) and thermoregulatory nesting (total weight of individual nests built on four consecutive days) was estimated from the correlated response of the former to selection for the latter. The best estimate was rA=0.58±0.32, indicating a substantial amount of common genetic influence. Indirect selection seems to have produced a greater response in maternal nesting than could have been achieved by direct selection.

    Notes: Abstract Black and albino littermate mice of the same inbred strain were compared to see if precocious development of the visual system, as indicated by the first detected eye-opening within a litter, is due to alleles at the albino locus. In 32 litters of C57BL/6J-c2J mice the frequency of first detected eye-openings in albinos was not significant; there were no sex or maternal effects. In 16 litters of B10.D2/nSn-c4J mice the frequency of first detected eye-openings in male, but not female, blacks was significant; there were no maternal effects. The results surely do not rule out the possibility of abnormalities in the timing of the developmental sequence of the visual system in albinos; the entire sequence must be examined with appropriate genetic controls.

    Notes: Abstract Artificial selection for short and long attack latency levels in wild maleMus musculus over 11 generations was successful for short latencies. The realized heritability of 0.30 is comparable to those found in other selection studies on aggression. In part selection may have been for faster ontogenetic development of short attack latencies. Four attempts to select for longer attack latencies failed because the lines died out immediately or within two generations for unknown reasons. But neither the physical condition of the animals nor their behavior appeared to have been the cause. Female aggressiveness as measured in female-female encounters was not affected by the selection exerted on the males. This suggests that no genetic correlation exists between aggressiveness of males and females, confirming results of P. D. Ebert and J. S. Hyde [(1976).Behav. Genet. 6:291–304] obtained in a selection experiment on aggression using females.

    Notes: Abstract As a result of different feeding regimens, two laboratory populations of the beetleCallosobruchus maculatus Fab. developed different rates of oviposition. The behavior of the F1 hybrids cannot be explained with an additive model of inheritance. The unusual pattern of inheritance suggests a sex-related factor(s) and a two-factor interaction.

    Notes: Abstract An 8×8 diallel analysis of locomotor activity related to nest return in mice just prior to eye opening indicated a pattern of dominance toward high activity, with little additive genetic variance. Groups of laboratory-reared wild mice did not differ from each other or from the diallel mean, suggesting little relaxation of selection toward rapid nest return during domestication. In contrast to the nest return situation, an eight-strain triple test-cross analysis of locomotion in a test environment unlikely to be encountered by 11-day-old mice indicated only additive genetic variance, with no evidence of dominance for increased activity. When measured in an ecologically relevant environment, the nature of genetic variation appears to change with age in a manner concordant with what one would intuitively assume to be adaptive behavior at each stage of development.
