Title: Swimming behaviour in six species of African rodents (Cricetidae, Muridae)

Creator:

Place of publishing:

Description:

The swimming ability of six species of African rodents is described: the pouched mouse (Saccostomus campestris), the white-tailed rat (Mystromys albicaudatus), the multimammate mouse (Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis), the bushveld gerbil (Tatera leucogaster), the striped mouse (Rhabdomys pumilio), and the single-striped mouse (Lemniscomys griselda). Buoyancy was positively correlated to swimming time; mass was negatively correlated to swimming time. Maintenance of body temperature did not differ significantly between species, so that the negative effect of poor insulation on swimming performance was not a factor in interspecific comparisons. Distribution and habitat of the six species are discussed; species tested which preferentially inhabit damp or wet areas demonstrated greater swimming ability.
