Mouse killing, insect predation, and conspecific attack by rats with differing prior aggressive experience. 1985

E D Kemble, and K J Flannelly, and H Salley, and R J Blanchard

Mouse-killing, cockroach predation, and conspecific attack were examined in male Long-Evans rats with a history of intraspecific aggression (n = 20), defeat (n = 20), or no aggressive experience (n = 20). Roaches were more likely to be attacked during 30 min tests, and were attacked more rapidly than mice or rats regardless of previous social experience of subjects. Rats with aggressive experience attacked conspecifics more readily than subjects with defeat or no experience. There was no effect of prior experience on mouse-killing. These results indicate that mouse-killing does not correspond closely to either predation or intraspecific attack.
