Researchers have discovered several factors that influence the behavior of field mice, using seeds from dwarf bamboo plants, a species that blooms only once every hundred years. Their findings not only point to the previously undervalued role of mice in the forest ecosystem but also show that they store small sasa seeds for later use. This challenges a previously held model of mouse behavior.

At DRD Knaagdierwinkel, we are always fascinated by the behavior of our little friends, and recent research has given us another glimpse into the world of mice. Did you know that for a mouse in the wild, spotting aerial predators like hawks and owls is crucial for survival? But how do mice process these visual signals into behaviors that help them avoid attacks?

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute have made an intriguing discovery about the social behavior of mice living together. In their latest research, they have shown that the complexity of the environment in which mice grow up influences their social interactions. This provides interesting insights for both scientists and mouse enthusiasts!

At DRD Knaagdierwinkel, we want to give you a glimpse into the intriguing world of mice! Did you know that mice, just like humans, have their own body language? Researchers at Harvard Medical School have discovered that mice can organize their movements into "behavioral syllables," helping us understand how these cute little rodents express themselves.
