The administration of testosterone to intact and to gonadectomized adult female mice induced pup-killing whereas such treatment failed to induce killing in intact males and in males gonadectomized in adulthood. Testosterone treatment was effective in inducing killing when given to adult, neonatally gonadectomized, males. Also, gonadectomy of males performed prior to experience with young reduced the number of animals that subsequently killed. Gonadectomy performed after animals had killed pups did not eliminate killing behavior. Finally, practically all females that exhibited pup-killing in response to the administration of testosterone also displayed intraspecific aggression than killed pups.
