Distribution. Now restricted to the Channel Country of SW Queensland and the Lake Eyre Basin in NE South Australia. Descriptive notes. Head-body 95-120 mm, tail 105-160 mm, ear 23-29 mm, hindfoot 32-37 mm; weight 30-50 g. The Fawn Hopping Mouse has body form typical of hopping mice, with very long hindfeet, long tail with distal brush of longer hairs, very long ears, and large protruberant eyes. Dorsal fur is of variable color, from pale pinkish fawn to gray; ventral fur white. Unlike most other hopping mice, it has no throat pouch, but males have a glandular area of naked skin on the chest. Habitat. Occurs in low shrublands and tussock grasslands on stony ("gibber") plains and claypans. Shows marked habitat segregation from the Dusky Hopping Mouse (N. fuscus), which is closely associated with sandy substrates. Food and Feeding. The Fawn Hopping Mouse is mostly granivorous, but also eats other plant material (stems, leaves) and occasionally invertebrates. It uses succulent, salt-adapted plants around edges of claypans as a source of water. Breeding. Reproduction is probably largely opportunistic and aseasonal, with high reproductive output from near-continuous breeding after periods of high rainfall; reported littersize is 1-5, most commonly three; gestation period 38-43 days for nonlactating females. Females may mature later than other hopping mice, with reproductive maturity reached at about six months. Activity patterns. Terrestrial and nocturnal. Fawn Hopping Mice shelter during day in burrow systems that are typically simpler and shallower than those of other hopping mice. Movements, Home range and Social organization. Fawn Hopping Mice generally live singly or in small groups; typically uncommon within range, but population density may increase by an order of magnitude following periods of high rainfall. Status and Conservation. Classified as Near Threatened on The IUCN Red List. The Fawn Hopping Mouse has shown marked decline in range (estimated at greater than 50%), and presumably population size, since European settlement of Australia. This is mostlikely due to predation by the introduced house cat and Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), and to habitat degradation associated with pastoralism. Bibliography. Brazenor (1934), Burbidge et al.

No specific data are available for body weight. Cheesman's Vlei Rat has shaggy dark pelage and is larger than all other species of Otomys, except the Angolan Vlei Rat (O. anchietae). Fur of Cheesman's Vlei Rat is bright brown, with reddish shade above and pale yellowish gray below. Ears are blackish, and inner surfaces are covered with short rufous hairs. Forefeet and hindfeet are dark gray above. Tail is relatively short (49-3% of head-body length), blackish above and pale yellowish below but notappearing distinctly bicolored.

Data from: Anthropogenic nesting substrates increase parental fitness in a Neotropical songbird, the Pale-breasted Thrush (Turdus leucomelas)
<p>The failure of breeding attempts is a major hindrance to bird reproduction, making nest site choice under strong selective pressure. Urbanization may offer lower risk of nest predation to certain bird species, but the impact of using anthropogenic structures as nesting sites on parental fitness is seldom studied. We studied the effect of anthropogenic substrates and brood parasitism by the Shiny Cowbird (<em>Molothrus bonariensis</em>) on the nest success of a Neotropical songbird, the Pale-breasted Thrush (<em>Turdus leucomelas</em>). We monitored 263 nesting attempts between 2017 and 2020 to estimate daily survival rate (DSR), which represents the probability of a given nest survive until the next day. DSR was modelled as a response variable in function of substrate type (plants as "natural" or human buildings as "artificial") and brood parasitism as fixed factors, using as covariates year, a linear and a quadratic seasonal trends. Additionally, we tested the effect of these same explanatory variables on the number of fledglings per nest using a generalized linear mixed-effects model. Most nests (78.7%) were placed in artificial substrates and apparent nest success (i.e. the percentage of nesting attempts that produced at least one thrush fledgling) was higher in artificial (50.2%) than in natural substrates (37.5%). DSR was higher for nests in artificial than in natural substrates regardless of cowbird parasitism, whereas the number of fledglings per nest was higher both in artificial substrates and for nests without cowbird parasitism. We highlight that nesting in buildings significantly increases parental fitness in Pale-breasted Thrushes, which may favor their settlement in cities and potentially drive the evolution of this breeding behavior in urban birds.</p>
