Reproductive success in Mus musculus (Rodentia) exposed to conspecific's odors and overcrowding in laboratory conditions
To assess the use of conspecific's odors for controlling commensal Mus musculus, we studied the effect of overcrowding on the reproductive success of females in laboratory conditions. While pregnancy rates, litter size, the weight at birth and survival until weaning did not differ between overc...
