He was actually referring to both aspects. It's all explained further down in the article:
>Males also exhibited individuality of behavior, but they had more behavioral variation within a single mouse and between mice than females.
- Chris2048 4y agoHmm, what is "behavioral variation within a single mouse and between mice"? I get variation between mice, but is variation within a single mouse the range of behaviour?
- dopu 4y agoYes. Say today the mouse engages in 3 behaviors (groom, walk around edge of enclosure, then dart across it) but tomorrow spends the whole day huddled in the corner (1 behavior, not exhibited yesterday). That’s sort of what they mean by within mouse variability.
