Description:

Total activity in the white-toothed shrews, Crocidura suaveolens Pallas, 1811 and C. russula Hermann, 1870, was detected by radar. Individuals were found to be active throughout the 24 hours with being the more diurnal species. The activity patterns of newly-trapped shrews showed well-marked feeding rhythms with mean cycle-lengths of 30-50 minutes. F1 Crocidura were more diurnal than newly-trapped animals, ant their activity patterns showed neither a feeding nor a 24-hour rhythm.
