Solution Acceptance by Common Ravens(corvt75 Corax) Given Two-Bottle Preference Tests
Solution Acceptance by Common Ravens ( Corvus Corax ) Given Two-Bottle Preference Tests
Two-bottle tests of solution acceptance were conducted in an outdoor aviary with eight common ravens (Corvus corax). Aqueous concentrations of the following chemicals were used: five common sugars, three salts, two acids, quinine hydrochloride, and sodium saccharin. Solution acceptance, as recorded for the different ravens on each test, was the percentage of preference shown for a test solution over water (comparison solution). Mid-range sacchari…
Preferences by Deer Mice for Solutions of Sugars, Salts, and Acids in Richter-Type Drinking Tests
Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were tested for taste preferences in 48-hour, Richter-type drinking tests (sapid solution versus distilled water). The Ss, which were seven male and seven female wild adults, were individually housed within an environmental chamber. Test solutions were concentrations of five sugars and three salts (.005 M to 1.0 M) and of two acids (4.0 pH to 1.5 pH). The molar range was too limited to identify the most preferre…
Self-Selection of Diet by Hispid Cotton Rats ( Sigmodon Hispidus )
Dietary requirements of hispid cotton rats were studied by the self-selection of diet method. A subject pool of 46 animals was required to provide 10 males and 10 females which adjusted successfully to the feeding plan. Subsequently a mash devised on the basis of self-selection data fed naive subjects more efficiently than did a commercial chow. Consequently dietary self-selections by the successful selectors, while possibly nonrepresentative for…
Effects of Differential Weight Gains on Activity Level of Young and Adult Hispid Cotton Rats
The degree of movement manifested by rats in laboratory activity tests may be correlated with the rate of weight gain by individual subjects. In a test of this possibility, cotton rats of differing weights at the same age were compared in a test measuring rate of movement. The weight factor proved to be inversely related to gross activity in young animals but directly in adults. These findings suggest that weight as well as age contributes to the…
Inadequate Saline Selection by Mongolian Gerbils fed a Cation Exchange Resin in the Diet
Mongolian gerbils (42 male, 42 female) were tested for presence of a special hunger for minerals. Three groups were fed a mineral-free mash which contained a cation exchange resin and chelator. Three additional groups received the same mash but with a nonnutritive fiber in place of the resin and chelator. For 15 days, one group in each dietary plan was given ad libitum choice between a mineral solution and distilled water (DW). A second group in …
Preferences by Northern Grasshopper Mice for Solutions of Sugars, Acids, and Salts in Richter-Type Drinking Tests
Taste preferences, as measured in 48-hour, Richter-type drinking tests (test solution opposite distilled water), were determined for northern grasshopper mice (Onychomys leucogaster, ssp. breviauritus). The Ss were nine males and nine females which were individually housed within an environmental chamber. The test solutions were prepared from five sugars (fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose) three salts (magnesium sulfate, potassium chlo…
Seizing by Magnesium-Deprived Mongolian Gerbils Given Open Field Tests
Epileptiform seizures of unknown etiology are exhibited by small percentages of Mongolian gerbils in samples drawn from the randomly bred Tumblebrook Farm colony, the major source for these animals in the United States. Because the tendency to seize is heritable, the higher seizure rates reported by several investigators may result from selection and breeding practices used to develop daughter colonies. Seizing has been labelled “spontaneous” in …
Self-Selection of Diet by Southern Plains Wood Rats (Neotoma Micropus)
Dietary requirements of Southern Plains wood rats ih'cotoma micropus nticropus, Baird) were studied by Richter's self-selection of diet method. Nine of 16 adult wood rats fed an array of four purified or semipurified foodstuffs plus water slowly adjusted to the dietary arrangement and thrived thereafter. The other wood rats exhibited nonspecific rejection for all items until death. Subsequently, foodstuffs from the array were mixed in quantities …
Inadequate Intakes of Nacl by Adrenalectomized Rats Given a 20% Dextri-Maltose Solution opposite a 1.5% Nacl Solution
