Abstract excerpt
The sources of deviation from population-typical norms of variability were studied in relation to early approach preferences between colors in newly hatched Japanese quail chicks (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Subjects were drawn from an unselected genetic control line, two genetic lines that were artificially selected for extreme blue and red preferences, their hybrids, and a large set of backcross and...
