Abstract
⺠Social behaviours of solitary and group-living striped mice were investigated. ⺠We recorded social behaviours using dyadic encounters in a neutral arena. ⺠Solitary mice were more aggressive and investigative than group-living mice. ⺠Differences in social behaviours were present even before mice became solitary. ⺠Switching from group-living to solitary is associated with behavioural changes.
