Abstract

The effects of radiotransmitters and fluorescent powders on the exercise-wheel-running activity of wild house mice ( Mus musculus ) were measured. Numbers of wheel revolutions run by 160 house mice at 6, 24, and 96 h, were recorded after they were exposed to one of five treatments (control, collar-control, powder-control, radiocollar, and powder). Control groups exhibited equal activity at the three time intervals. Radiocollared mice and those covered with fluorescent powders exhibited reduced activity at 6 h; radiocollared mice exhibited a reduction in activity that persisted at least 96 h.
