Providing a unique opportunity to reassess the cause and functions of aggression in the House Mouse, this innovative book brings together the results of extensive research into the habits of this species.

The insights gained are of significant relevance to our understanding of the role of intraspecific aggressiveness plays in shaping social structure.

This book is of interest to biologists and psychologists interested in animal behaviour, behavioural ecology, evolution, physiological psychology, psychobiology and psychogenetics. It is essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates, postgraduates and researchers interested in the subtleties between physiology, behaviour and evolution.
