Abstract
Congenic lines were made for the Y chromosome between aggressive and nonaggressive lines of house mice, which were previously established by artificial selection in wild mice for short attack latencies (SAL line) and long attack latencies (LAL line). The aggressiveness of the males in successive backcross generations of the congenic lines is reported. Results fit the hypothesis that the Y-chromosomal effect that is often found for aggression in house mice may be located on the pseudo-autosomal region of this chromosome.Keywords
