Body Temperature Patterns in Captive Barbary Striped Grass Mousse (Lemniscomysbarbarus): Influence of Photoperiod and Sex Steroids
Journal Title: Transactions on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The Barbary striped grass mouse (Lemniscomys Barbarus) has been described as a diurnal and photoperiodic rodent, but no reliable data exist on the daily and seasonal rhythmicity of body temperature (Tb). In this study, Tb patterns were determined in different groups of males maintained in captivity under different regimes of photoperiod. Tb was recorded with surgically implanted iButton temperature loggers. The work shows the existence of a strong and bimodal daily Tb rhythm in this species whose external synchronizer is the lightdark cycle; it�s also confirmed the diurnal and photoperiodic character of this animal. The highest values of Tb were registered during the lightphase in the contrary of nocturnal species. This kind of experimental work corresponds to the theme of the ACMLIS'17 conference by means of, on one side, the use of the temperaturesensitive intraabdominal implants for monitoring core body temperature, an approach of machine learning, and on the other side, the final aim of the work which is to better understand the more complicated and sophisticated of intelligent systems, the central nervous system.
