What is Thermoregulatory constraints on the microhabitat use by Cricetid Rodents in Central Chile about?
The energetic cost of thermoregulation related to microhabitat use by nocturnal rodents is studied in four rodent species from central Chile. Rodents concentrate their activity under shrub canopies, avoiding open areas. These microhabitats are thermally similar and energy expenditure is expected to be similar in both. Therefore, thermoregulatory constraints related to microhabitat use appear to be nil in comparison with biotic factors. Resume. -Le coüt energetique de la thermoregulation, en rapport avec I'utilisation d'un microhabitat par des rongeurs nocturnes, a etc etudie chez quatre especes du Chili central. Les rongeurs concentrent leur activite ä Pabri des buissons, evitant ainsi les zones ouvertes. Ces microhabitats sont similaires ä ce point de vue et la depense d'energie est considered comme semblable dans chacun d'eux. Ainsi, les contraintes de thermoregulation en rapport avec I'utilisation d'un microhabitat paraissent etre nulles en comparaison des facteurs biotiques.
