The objective of this research was to describe the levels and periodicity of wheel running in 12 species of muroid rodents in order that comparisons could be made among different measures of activity in a variety of species. Six males from each species (Peromyscus polionotus, P. eremicus, P. leucopus, P. maniculatus, P. gossypinus, Microtus pennysylvanicus, M. montanus, M. canicaudus, M. ochrogaster, Calomys callos us, Onychomys leucogaster, and Mus musculus) were tested in running wheels for… Expand
