water and sodium requirements of field populations of house mice (mus domesticus) and short-tailed mice (leggadina lakedownensis) on thevenard island, in the arid pilbara region of western australia.the coexistence of the lakeland downs short-tailed mouse leggadina lakedownensis and house mouse mus domesticus on thevenard island, in the arid north of western australia, prompted a study to compare their seasonal water and sodium metabolism using tritiated water and sodium-22 as tracers. fractional water influx rates for m. domesticus (40.3 +/- 1.6% total body-water day-1) were significantly higher than those for l. lakedownensis (25.3 +/- 1.2% total body-water day-1). water effluxes were hig ...199910549142
