We assessed the influence of genetic background vs. postnatal maternal environment using a set of cross-fostering experiments between two wild-derived inbred strains, displaying high (STRA, derived from Mus musculus domesticus) and low (BUSNA, derived from Mus m. musculus) levels of aggressiveness. The role of maternal environment was tested in males reared under three different conditions: unfostered (weaned by mother), infostered (weaned by an unfamiliar dam from the same strain), and cross-fostered (weaned by a dam from a different strain). We did not find a significant effect of postnatal maternal environment; however, we detected significant maternal effect on body weight.
