Behavioural reactions to unfamiliar conspecifics of both sexes were studied in female domestic rabbits, living in stable unisexual groups. Intrusion caused an abrupt increase in the frequency of social investigation and agonistic behaviours directed to both intruders and group-mates. Reactions depended on the rank of resident females and the sex of the intruder, and were generally more marked in the presence of the male than the female intruder. Dominant and sub-dominant females investigated the male more than the female intruder; the opposite held for subordinate females. In the presence of the female intruder, only dominant and subdominant females were aggressive towards the intruder and group-mates. In the presence of the male intruder, aggression was directed to the intruder and group-mates by dominant females only. They tended to frequently attack sub-dominants, which in turn fled away from them more often than they did from other group-mates.
对生活在稳定单性别群体中的雌性家兔对两性陌生同种个体的行为反应进行了研究。闯入会导致针对闯入者和同组伙伴的社会调查和攻击行为的频率突然增加。反应取决于常驻雌性的等级和闯入者的性别，并且通常在雄性闯入者在场时比雌性闯入者在场时更为明显。优势和次优势雌性对雄性的调查多于对雌性闯入者的调查；从属雌性则相反。在雌性闯入者在场时，只有优势和次优势雌性对闯入者和同组伙伴具有攻击性。在雄性闯入者在场时，只有优势雌性对闯入者和同组伙伴表现出攻击性。它们倾向于频繁攻击次优势个体，而次优势个体反过来比它们逃离其他同组伙伴的频率更高地逃离它们。
