Abstract
Activity of satiated, food-deprived, and water-deprived chicks, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits was compared using stabilimeter-type cages and running wheels. Each species showed consistent activity patterns for each deprivation condition, but these patterns were very different and sometimes opposite in different species and activity devices.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
