Daily rhythms of metabolic rates: Role of chemical signals in coexistence of spiny mice of the genusAcomys.

The common spiny mouseAcomys cahirinus and the golden spiny mouseA. russatus coexist in the extreme arid and hot parts of the Arava Rift Valley in Israel. The coexistence of these two species is through exclusion ofA.

Daily rhythms of body temperature in Acomys russatus: the response to chemical signals released by Acomys cahirinus.

Two species of spiny mice of the genus Acomys--the golden spiny A. russatus and the common spiny A. cahirinus--are sympatric in the arid and hot parts of the Rift Valley in Israel.
