Environmental effects on the circadian systems of a diurnal ( rhabdomys dilectus) and noctural (micaelamys namaquensis) rodent species with specific reference to light pollution

Ackermann, Simone (University of Pretoria, 2019)

The presence of artificial light at night (ALAN) is one of many contributing factors to global change today. The spectral range of ALAN can also alter the potential effects of light pollution in certain contexts which ...
Hyperthermia induced oxidative damage in two wild caught African rodents, the diurnal four striped-field mouse Rhabdomys dilectus and the nocturnal Namaqua rock mouse Micaelamys namaquensis

Jacobs, Paul Juan (University of Pretoria, 2019)

This thesis set out to investigate how heat stress may affect the oxidative balance and influence the activity patterns of animals. The use of wild animals has been scarce in testing the effects of heat stress on the ...
Social recognition and telencephalic binding sites of oxytocin in a solitary and a social Otomyine species

Goldner, Gerhard Tobias (University of Pretoria, 2016)

This study examined the sociality of two phylogenetically closely related otomyine, murid rodent species that display differences in social behaviour in the wild. A fundamental characteristic of sociality in mammals is the ...
