On ten occasions, we set magnet-installed acorns at a food station that only A. argenteus mice could access. The mice transported the acorns 6.6±4.2m, 5.1±2.0m, 5.3±3.3m, 19.5±10.8m from the food station in August and September, 2010, and August and December, 2011, respectively, and hoard them in their home ranges. In the case of scatter hoarding, the acorns were hoarded on the ground surface (29.6%), under litter (59.3%), and less than 5 cm deep in the soil (11.1%). In the case of larder hoarding, the acorns were hoarded less than 5 cm in the soil (27.3%), 5–10 cm in the soil (24.2%), and deeper than 10 cm in the soil (48.5%). These results suggest that A. argenteus has hoarding behavior similar to that of the allied, sympatric mice species, A. speciosus, although the transport distance seemed to be shorter. It was also suggested that A. argenteus can play the role of seed dispersers, but its hoarding behavior might interfere with seedling establishment of P. edulis in the case of larder hoarding more than 10cm deep in the soil.}, pages = {9--15}, title = {ヒメネズミの貯食活動の特性}, volume = {40}, year = {2013}, yomi = {ヨシムラ, カズノリ and ナカムラ, マミ and オオイシ, ケイタ and ハタ, クニヒコ and ソネ, コウイチ} }
