EcologyRisk of Predation and the Structure of Desert Rodent Communities
500 Citations1984Burt P. Kotler
A correlation between auditory bullar volume and use of open habitat by the various species in this community suggests that predation risk provides an axis along which habitat segregation occurs, and can structure communities of mobile prey when risk differs among habitats.
Animal BehaviourMoon-related surface activity of bannertail (Dipodomys spectabilis) and fresno (D. Nitratoides) kangaroo rats
128 Citations1974Robert B. Lockard, Donald H. Owings
Temporal aspects of nocturnal activity of bannertail kangaroo rats were measured in the field and the effects of a laboratory ‘moon’ were opposite to those of the real moon uponbannertails in theField.

117 Citations1974Michael J. O’Farrell
Differences in time of daily activity were found between potential competitors demonstrating a degree of temporal isolation and time after sunset and amount of moonlight were the two most important factors correlated to rodent activity.

It is concluded that central Chilean foxes were crepuscular, opportunistic predators that hunted in open patches of vegetation and similarities in their feeding ecology suggest that competitive exclusion may be important in the maintenance of their allopatric distributions.

Journal of MammalogyInfluence of Season and Moonlight on Temporal-Activity Patterns of Indian Crested Porcupines (Hystrix indica)
61 Citations1988P. U. Alkon, D. S. Mitrani
Seasonal changes in duration of activity (and moonlight exposure) may have been caused by variations in available dark hours relative to surface-activity requirements or to food-density fluctuations, but they did not clearly correspond to key stages of porcupine reproduction.

48 Citations1983Erik Lindström
Juvenile growth was correlated with vole abundance but growth later in life seemed to compensate for this variation, and it is hypothesized that the availability of fruit and berries determines the amount of fat reserves built up during autumn, whereas the energy requirement of moving in deep snow determines the degree of depletion during winter.
EcologyWinter Diet of the Peruvian Desert Fox
44 Citations1969Raymond B. Huey
The winter food habits of the native desert fox of northwestern Peru were examined by an analysis of fecal pellets collected in two areas: in the Sechura Desert, foxes eat mainly the seed pods of perennial shrubs and in a coastal area, the foxes supplement their largely herbivorous diet with carrion and crustaceans.

The use of rotenone to remove rough fish for the purpose of improving migratory waterfowl refuge areas and the significance of managed water levels in developing the fisheries of large impoundments are discussed.

The following observations were made while Mrs. Birdseye and I were living at the Hacienda Paramonga, on the Inter-American Highway 192 kilometers north of Lima, Peru, and Dusicyon abounds in this section of the Peruvian coast.
