Hi all, I have two questions that I'm hoping someone on the listserv can help with.
1. We are studying golden hamsters in the wild (southern Turkey), and want to get a camera down into burrows to record activity. The burrow entrances are ~4.5 cm in diameter, and tunnels can be up to 200 cm in length (sometimes longer), with a sharp turn into the nest chamber. Therefore, we need something small, works in low (no) light, and is maneuverable (i.e. can turn corners). Does something like this exist? Any information would be most appreciated. 2. Are there any published data on typical eye:ear, eye:skull and/or ear:skull size ratios for nocturnal vs diurnal rodents? (or any other taxa, for that matter...). Quick google and web of science searches yielded nothing that directly addresses this question. Thanks for your help. Feel free to answer me directly, and if folks are interested, I'll post a summary of responses. Misty ********************************************************* M.
