  • Title: Behavior-genetic analysis of the paradise fish (Macropodus opercularis). IV. Behavioral unit analysis of the response to novelty using recombinant inbred strains.
    Author: Gervai J, Csányi V.
    Journal: Acta Biol Hung; 1989; 40(1-2):57-66. PubMed ID: 2633582.
    Abstract:
    Frequencies and relative durations of eleven ethologically defined behavioral units were measured on paradise fish of two inbred strains and 9 recombinant inbred lines derived from their cross and then maintained under inbreeding. Significant genotype-dependent differences were found in all but one behavior units. Strain distribution patterns showed polygenic genetic determination of all units, and in several cases non-allelic genic interactions seem to contribute to the variation. Additive and interaction components of the progenitor means and minimal number of effective factors were estimated for each behavior unit.
