Abstract

The question was addressed whether in two strains of mice the amount chewed off supplied balsa wood is correlated with one of six measured aspects of open-field behaviour. For individual mice there were no significant correlations. This may either relate to a different nature of wood gnawing and open-field behaviour or to the observed low degree of stability of these behaviours in individual animals.
