Coat color genes and cage temperature effects on care of the body surface (COBS) behavior of Meriones unguiculatus.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jan 1992

Wong R, Gray-Allan P

Abstract excerpt

Male and female Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) carrying three coat color alleles, agouti, sandy, and black, were tested for 15 min under three cage temperature conditions, warm (35-40 degrees C), neutral (20 degrees C), and cold (0-5 degrees C). A frequency count of scratching, face and body wash, belly/side rubs, and shaking was taken of these animals' activities during the test sessions. Sex...
