Are voluntary wheel running and open-field behavior correlated in mice? Different answers from comparative and artificial selection approaches.

Abstract excerpt

Voluntary wheel running and open-field behavior are probably the two most widely used measures of locomotion in laboratory rodents. We tested whether these two behaviors are correlated in mice using two approaches: the phylogenetic comparative method using inbred strains of mice and an ongoing artificial selection experiment on voluntary wheel running. After taking into account the measurement error and...
