Use of a Localized Food Source by Permoyscus leucopus, Determined with an Hexagonal Grid System
Dennis P. Viele and Eugene H. Studier

Abstract

Nocturnal, surface foraging of cave dwelling crickets provide a consistent food source for nocturnal insectivorous mammals. Small mammals were live-trapped using an hexagonal grid centered around a cave entrance. Capture patterns for Peromyscus leucopus showed significant overlap at the cave entrance.
