Measurements of several behavioral variables were recorded in dark-box, open-field, and hole-board tests using an automated system (see Materials and Methods). Z-test and Fisher's r to z transformation (Statview software) were used to determine significant correlations between rearing count and other behavioral variables. Correlation coefficients (r2) and corresponding p values, where p < 0.1, are presented; significant correlations are in bold.
