  • Colony aggression in laboratory rats

    Open AccessRichard Lore, Michael Nikoletseas et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior1984

    The behavioral response of established colonies of domesticated rats to the presence of an unfamiliar intruder of the same species represents one of the most effective procedures yet developed to study aggression in the laboratory. Here, the social, experiential, and environmental variables that influence attack severity are reviewed and several important methodological issues are discussed. Brief exposures of intruders to intact colonies may pro…

  • Play fighting and the development of agonistic behavior in male and female rats

    Open AccessLorey K Takahashi, Richard Lore et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior1983References: 21

    Two longitudinal studies were conducted to quantify the social behaviors exhibited by both male and female Long-Evans rats from the immediate postweaning period until young adulthood. In Experiment 1, male sibling pairs engaged in a high level of play fighting during the early juvenile period but such activity declined to a level significantly lower than that of female and mixed-sex pairs after 54 days of age. In Experiment 2, social exchanges du…

  • Functions of the vibrissae in the defensive and aggressive behavior of the rat

    Open AccessRobert J Blanchard, Lorey K Takahashi et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior1977References: 5

    Removal of mystacial vibrissae for strange rats placed in an established rat colony produced reliable decrements in defensive boxing for these animals, and corresponding increases in freezing. In a subsequent experiment, removal of the vibrissae of the attacking colony males did not change the attack behavior of the vibrissectomized animals. These results indicate that the vibrissae are involved in defensive boxing behavior, but play no essential…

  • Reflexive fighting in the albino rat

    Open AccessRobert J Blanchard, D Caroline Blanchard et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior1977References: 13

    Specific agonistic responses of albino rats were compared for dominant colony rats and intruders, and for rats in a “reflexive fighting” task. The “reflexive fighters” showed high levels of defensive responses such as boxing and freezing, and very low levels of aggressive behaviors such as piloerection, biting, and the lateral display. This pattern clearly suggests that the behaviors measured in the reflexive fighting task reflect conspecific def…
