I believe the research was by Calhoun. Behavioral Sink
Hope this helps. I would be interested in the original reference.

Subject: Rats/aggression/crowding- reference
I am trying to track down a study from the 1960's where rats were given
unlimited food, and when crowding reached a certain level, extreme
asggression occurred, and the coloony eventually died out? Or in my
senility, am I confusing research with rats with old science fiction
stories?
