Poor replicability in animal research can be a result of low external validity driven by rigorous standardization of study populations. This study investigates how heterogenization of study populations by using mice from different breeding sites might affect the replicability of animal studies conducted in a single facility. The findings suggest that heterogenization by breeding site has limited capacity to improve replicability in animal research.
