• Female striped mice (Rhabdomys pumilio) change their home ranges in response to seasonal variation in food availability (2006, background): “…1979), its behavioral flexibility must be regarded as the main reason why it can occur in very different habitats throughout southern Africa, such as deserts and moist grasslands (Schradin, in press; Schradin and Pillay, 2005b), and why it can exist in harsh habitats, such as the Succulent Karoo.”
• Huddling in groups leads to daily energy savings in free‐living African Four‐Striped Grass Mice, Rhabdomys pumilio (2006, methodology): “This is shown to be a stressful time for these mice as mortality rates may reach 70% during this period ( Schradin & Pillay 2005b ).”
• INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN THE SPATIAL AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE AFRICAN STRIPED MOUSE (2005, background): “The vegetation in spring consists of succulents and ephemerals such as wildflowers, which sustain animals through the breeding season, which lasts 3 months (Schradin and Pillay 2005a).”
• Female home range size is regulated by resource distribution and intraspecific competition: a long-term field study (2010, background): “The breeding season (August to November) coincides 150 with the occurrence of highly nutritious ephemerals in spring (Schradin & Pillay 2005b) and is 151 followed by a long hot dry season with reduced food availability, when striped mice lose 12% on 152 average of their body mass (Schradin & Pillay…”
• Whole-day follows of striped mice (Rhabdomys pumilio), a diurnal murid rodent (2005, background): “The social behaviour of Rhabdomys in the succulent karoo is in great contrast to the social system of the same species in moist grasslands, where it is solitary (Choate 1972; Willan and Meester 1989; Schradin 2005a; Schradin and Pillay 2005b).”
