Tuco-tucos (Ctenomys aff. knighti) are solitary subterranean rodents that occur in the semi-arid northwest of Argentina. Their activity pattern is nocturnal in laboratory, but diurnal in field. Studies investigating the discrepancies between diurnal and nocturnal activity indicate that in nature the activity rhythm is plastic and influenced by a combination of biotic and abiotic factors, …
The tuco-tuco Ctenomys aff. knighti is a subterranean rodent which inhabits a semi-arid region of northwestern Argentina. This animal is nocturnal in the lab, showing daily rhythms of locomotor activity and body temperature (Tb). Surprisingly, in the field it is seen, daily, during the daylight hours, foraging and removing soil from its tunnels. The switch between diurnal activity in the …
Studies that show discrepancy between daily activity patterns between laboratory and field have become increasingly common and suggest that there are factors in the field that are not reproduced in the laboratory. Recently, it was proposed that food availability could be one of the fundamental differences between field and laboratory that can alter the temporal daily pattern of activity. …
