Swiss Male Mouse Anxiety and Copulatory Behavior Records from Repeated Tests

Seven weekly copulatory tests per mouse were conducted following elevated plus maze anxiety testing. An experienced observer recorded latencies for ejaculation, mount, and intromission, as well as total counts of these behaviors across all tests. The dataset, authored by Itztli Trejo-Sánchez and last updated in May 2026, is a 2.6 MB Excel file.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between anxiety and sexual performance based on recorded behavioral latencies.
• Analyzing individual variation in copulatory behavior across repeated tests using the mean latencies per mouse.
• Investigating the consistency of mount, intromission, and ejaculation counts over seven encounters.

Strengths

• Data collection involved an experienced observer, which may enhance reliability.
• Behavioral metrics are derived from seven repeated tests per subject, allowing for within-subject analysis.
• The dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (2.6 MB), which may constrain the complexity of analyses.
