Self-grooming in Meriones unguiculatus is associated with saliva spread and the release and spread of Harderian material from the external nares. Saliva spread results in evaporative cooling and Harderian spread insulates the pelage. Two experiments tested the predictions that (1) saliva production and Harderian material decrease systematically following a self-groom, (2) high ambient temperature (34°C) increases saliva production but decreases Harderian release, and (3) low ambient temperature (7°C) decreases saliva production but increases Harderian release. The predictions were generally confirmed, suggesting that short-term and long-term thermoregulatory reactions are differentially affected by ambient temperatures. Thus, an animal will tend to emphasize saliva production when evaporative cooling is needed and will exaggerate Harderian release when insulation of the pelage is required.

Rats were trained to feed 2 h daily. Each rat was presented during three 10-day-long alimentary periods with each of the following diets: control (C), low calorie (L), and high calorie (H). The food was placed at an ambient temperature of -15 degrees C at 16 m from a warm refuge. It was found that the rats ingested similar amounts of food, regardless of energy density of the diet, and therefore did not compensate for variations in the caloric density of a diet. This was despite the recognition of a novel diet on the first day of its presentation as manifested by a change in rats' meal pattern. L diet was eaten slowly, suggesting that it was less palatable than the C or H diets. The results suggest that the rat placed in a closed economy with only short-term access to food imposed by a hostile environment does not adjust its food intake in accordance with energy value of the food. Its momentary food intake appears to be controlled by the gustatory properties of the food.
