Wheel-running and rest activity pattern interaction in two octodontids (Octodon degus, Octodon bridgesi)

Wheel-running and other non-photic stimuli influence the rest-activity pattern of diurnal and nocturnal mammals. A day to night inversion of phase preference of activity was described among Octodon degus, when exposed to ad-libitum wheel running. We have studied the rest-activity pattern response in...
