Abstract:

The numbers of an enclosed, self-ranging population of mice increase with an increase in the area of the breeding cages, but this numerical increase is smaller than the increase in living space; thus the density of the mice decreases with an increase in cage size. The decrease is more marked in cages smaller than 1 m2, and later is only inconsiderably reduced. The smallest cages have therefore the greatest productivity.
