The locomotory activity rhythm of the spiny mouse, Acomys spinosissimus from southern Africa: Light entrainment and endogenous circadian rhythms
(Zoological Society of London, 2012)
The circadian rhythm of locomotor activity in the spiny mouse Acomys spinosissimus
from South Africa was investigated under controlled laboratory conditions.
Nine individuals were subjected to six successive light cycles ...
Seasonal reproduction in the female spiny mouse from South Africa
(The Zoological Society of London, 2010)
Many mammal species reproduce seasonally because of annual fluctuations in temperature, rainfall and photoperiod in often nutritionally challenging habitats.
The reproductive biology of many small southern African mammals ...
Reproductive photoresponsiveness in male spiny mice from South Africa
(Zoological Society of London, 2012)
Many seasonally breeding mammals use changes in photoperiod as a reliable cue
to time reproduction. Photoperiodic timing assists an animal in predicting annual
environmental changes in its habitat and therefore, enables ...
