Effects of Water Deprivation on the Initiation of Predation in Golden Hamsters
Depriving native hamsters ( Mesocricetus auratus) continuously of water for 5 days significantly increased the likelihood of predation on nymphs of Locusta migratoria. Water-deprived subjects pouched the prey on more occasions, and they exhibited a significant decrease in latency to capture with repeated testing. These results have been replicated in other experiments conducted by the author. Additional research is needed to resolve the issue of …
Conspecific Defeat, Isolation/Grouping, and Predatory Behavior in Golden Hamsters
The effect of conspecific defeat and isolation/grouping on predatory behavior in golden hamsters was examined in two experiments. In the first experiment Ss were defeated by trained fighters once daily for 10 successive days and then tested shortly after for the capture of locusts. Control Ss were exposed to the fighters but experienced no defeat. Results showed that each group captured with comparable latencies. In the second experiment hamsters…
