GMT Games - Leaping Lemmings A lemming is a small rodent Leaping Lemmings!, usually found in or near the Arctic in tundra biomes. Lemmings make up the subfamily Arvicolinae also known as Microtinae together with voles and muskratswhich form part of the superfamily Muroideawhich also includes Leaping Lemmings!micehamstersand gerbils. In popular culture, a longstanding myth holds that they commit mass suicide. Lemmings are quite rounded in shape, with brown and black, long, soft Leaping Lemmings!. They have a very short tail, a stubby, hairy snout, short legs, and small ears. They have a flattened claw on the first digit of their front feet, which helps them to dig in the snow. They are Leaping Lemmings!feeding mostly on mosses and grasses. They also forage through the snow surface to find berries, leaves, shoots, roots, bulbs, and lichens. Lemmings choose their preferred dietary vegetation disproportionately to its occurrence in their habitat. Like other rodents, their incisors grow continuously, allowing them to feed on much tougher forage. Lemmings do not hibernate through the harsh northern winter. They remain active, finding food by burrowing through the snow. These rodents live in large tunnel systems beneath the snow in winter, which protect them from predators. Their burrows have rest areas, toilet areas, and nesting rooms. They make nests out of grasses, feathers, and muskox wool qiviut. In the spring, they move to higher ground, where they live on mountain heaths or in forests, continuously breeding before returning in autumn to the tundra. Like many other rodents, lemmings have periodic population booms and then disperse in all directions, seeking the food and shelter their natural habitats cannot provide. The Norway lemming and brown lemming are two of the few vertebrates which reproduce so quickly that their population fluctuations are chaotic, [4] [5] rather than following linear growth to a carrying capacity or regular oscillations. Why lemming Leaping Lemmings! fluctuate with such great variance roughly every four years, before numbers drop to near extinction, Leaping Lemmings! not known. Lemmings, by contrast, are conspicuously coloured and behave aggressively toward predators and even human observers. The lemming Leaping Lemmings! system is thought to be based on aposematism warning display. For many years, the population of lemmings was believed to change with the population cyclebut now some evidence suggests their predators' populations, particularly those of the stoatmay be more closely involved in changing the lemming population. Misconceptions about lemmings go back many centuries. In the s, geographer Zeigler of Strasbourg proposed Leaping Lemmings! theory that the creatures fell out of the sky during stormy weather [9] and then died suddenly when the grass grew in spring. Worm first published dissections of a lemming, which showed that they are anatomically similar to most other rodents such as voles and hamsters, and the work of Carl Linnaeus proved that they had a natural origin. Lemmings Leaping Lemmings! become the Leaping Lemmings! of a widely popular misconception that they are driven to commit mass suicide when they migrate by jumping off cliffs. It Leaping Lemmings! not a deliberate mass suicide where the animal voluntarily chooses to die, but rather a result of their migratory behavior. Driven by strong biological urges, some species of lemmings may migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great. They can swim and may choose to cross a body of water in search of a new habitat. In Leaping Lemmings! cases, many drown if the chosen body of water happens to be an ocean, or is in any case so wide as to exceed their physical capabilities. Thus, the unexplained Leaping Lemmings! in the population of Norwegian lemmings, and perhaps a small amount of semantic confusion suicide not being limited to voluntary Leaping Lemmings!, but also the result of foolishnesshelped give rise to the popular stereotype of the suicidal lemmings, particularly after this behavior was staged in the Walt Disney documentary White Wilderness in Leaping Lemmings! myth may have roots in the fiercely aggressive nature of lemmings during population booms, and the corresponding Leaping Lemmings! of predatory frenzies: lemmings do not explode. The misconception of lemming "mass suicide" is long-standing and has been popularized by a number of factors. This Leaping Lemmings!, which was inspired by a American Mercury article, showed massive numbers of lemmings jumping over Norwegian cliffs. Lemmings also appear in Arthur C. Clarke 's short story " The Possessed ", where their suicidal urges are attributed to the lingering consciousness of an alien group mind, which had inhabited the species in the prehistoric past. The song "Lemmings Including 'Cog' " from the album Pawn Hearts by progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator is about a person who sees their loved ones "crashing on quite blindly to the sea". Ina puzzle-platform video Leaping Lemmings! called Lemmings was released. American skate punk band Blink 's second album Dude Ranch features a Leaping Lemmings! called "Lemmings". The song deals with topics of a deteriorating friendship and a loss of Leaping Lemmings!. The song was written and sung by the band's bassist Mark Hoppus. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Estimating the energy expenditure of endotherms at the species level. Abstract The ability to account with precision for the quantitative variation in the basal rate of metabolism (BMR) at the species level is explored in four groups of endotherms, arvicoline rodents, ducks, melaphagid honeyeaters, and phyllostomid bats. An effective analysis requires the inclusion of the factors that distinguish species and their responses to the conditions they encounter in the environment. These factors are implemented by changes in body composition and are responsible for the non-conformity of species to a scaling curve. Two concerns may limit an analysis. The factors correlatedDraft with energy expenditure often correlate with each other, which usually prevents them from being included together in an analysis, thereby preventing a complete analysis, implying the presence of factors other than mass.

The specimens belong to 26 different species attributing to 6 families: Scuridae (Spermophilus fulvus), Cricetidae (Microtus transcaspicus, Microtus paradoxus, Blanfordimys afghanus, Chionomys nivalis, Ellobius talpinus, Ellobius fuscocapillus, Cricetulus migratorius), Calomyscidae (Calomyscus sp. Seems to be C. uratensis), Muridae (Mus musculus, Apodemus witherbyi, Nesokia indica, Rattus norvegicus, Rattus pyctoris, Gerbillus nanus, Meriones libycus, Meriones crassus, Meriones meridianus, Meriones persicus, Tatera indica, Rhombomys opimus), Gliridae (Dryomys nitedula) and Dipodidae (Allactaga elater, Allactaga hotsoni, Jaculus blanfordi, Jaculus thaleri). Standard external characters as well as cranial and dental ones were given. Key words: Northeast Iran, Rodents, Fauna, Kopet-Dag Mountains, Binaloud Mountains. INTRODUCTION It is evident that faunal diversity of Iran is far greater than what is reported by naturalists so far, and the identification of some certain new species necessitates a biosystematic approach. There is very little English published information relating to the rodents of the northeastern Iran; however there are a few ones in Persian. We shall present records of rodent species from Northeastern Iran which has not been recorded so far. The data contribute towards understanding the actual intact fauna of northeast Iran. Such information is fundamental to the testing hypotheses of faunal relationships and postulated biogeographic histories.
