Female striped mice (Rhabdomys pumilio) change their home ranges in response to seasonal variation in food availability (2006, methodology): “nest and one territory ( Schradin and Pillay, 2005b ), they forage and feed alone during the day (Schradin, in press).”
Environment modulates population social structure: Experimental evidence from replicated social networks of wild lizards (2016, background): “Local populations or subpopulations within species can vary in how individuals interact or associate with each other (Aplin et al., 2013; Dammhahn & Kappeler, 2009; Schradin & Pillay, 2005).”
Fitness consequences of group living in the degu Octodon degus, a plural breeder rodent with communal care (2009, background): “Several compelling studies support the hypothesis that variation in the distribution of resources along a species range can lead to plasticity in social systems (e.g. Brashares & Arcese 2002; Schradin & Pillay 2005).”
Huddling in groups leads to daily energy savings in free‐living African Four‐Striped Grass Mice, Rhabdomys pumilio (2006, methodology): “Mice are regularly trapped and individuals from each group are fitted with radiocollars (Schradin & Pillay 2005c); home ranges and sleeping associations are therefore readily determined (Schradin & Pillay 2004; Schradin & Pillay 2005c).”
Flexible social structure of a desert rodent, Rhombomys opimus: philopatry, kinship, and ecological constraints (2005, background): “Rodents are known to display flexible social systems that vary in response to changing environmental conditions (Austad, 1984; Lott, 1991; Schradin and Pillay, 2005; Travis et al., 1995), and mammalian social behavior can reflect mixed strategies that facilitate responses to environmental uncertaint”
Demography of the striped mouse (Rhabdomys pumilio) in the succulent karoo (2005, background): “70 (2005) 2 84–92 exclusive territories and male territories overlap with several female territories (Willan 1982; Willan and Meester 1989; Perrin et al. 2001; Schradin and Pillay 2005).”
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).”
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…”
