TL;DR
There are similarities between pigeons’ behavior under interval reinforcement schedules and the behavior of rats in runways and a free-operant experiment analogous in certain respects to the double-runway procedure produced large “frustration effects” in pigeons.
Abstract
There are similarities between pigeons' behavior under interval reinforcement schedules and the behavior of rats in runways. A free-operant experiment analogous in certain respects to the double-runway procedure produced large "frustration effects" in pigeons, lending support to this comparison.

The size of FE would be graded according to graded reductions in reward at GI, and rats were trained to run down a runway into a first goal box for food reward.

Four adolescent stumptail macaques were tested in a discrete-trials retractable-lever analogue of the double runway commonly used to study frustration effects in rats, and right-leaver responses were faster following nonrein-forcement than following reinforcement of left-levers responses.
