Predatory grasshopper mice
A Quick Guide on grasshopper mice which, contrary to the great majority of mouse species, are obligate carnivores.
متن کاملSound localization in a predatory rodent, the northern grasshopper mouse (Onychomys leucogaster).
A comparison of the ability of mammals to localize sound revealed that among the animals examined to date, none of the rodents have been able to localize as accurately as the carnivores. Because all of these rodents are prey animals, the question arises as to whether their poor localization acuity is a phyletic trait of Rodentia or whether it is a trait common to prey species that may be under ...

متن کاملFunctional characterization and spatial clustering of visual cortical neurons in the predatory grasshopper mouse Onychomys arenicola.
Mammalian neocortical circuits are functionally organized such that the selectivity of individual neurons systematically shifts across the cortical surface, forming a continuous map. Maps of the sensory space exist in cortex, such as retinotopic maps in the visual system or tonotopic maps in the auditory system, but other functional response properties also may be similarly organized. For examp...
متن کاملOrganization of somatosensory cortex in the Northern grasshopper mouse (Onychomys leucogaster), a predatory rodent.
Northern grasshopper mice (Onychomys leucogaster) are among the most highly carnivorous rodents in North America. Because predatory mammals may have specialization of senses used to detect prey, we investigated the organization of sensory areas within grasshopper mouse neocortex and quantified the number of myelinated axons in grasshopper mouse trigeminal, cochlear, and optic nerves. Multiunit ...
