Scientific paper

The behaviour of white-footed mice in response to changes in illumination suggests that nocturnal mice in the wild use the Moon, twilight Sun and landmarks as navigational aids, and also ``keep close track'' of their absolute position and distance from the nest and other points of retreat. This implies that the mice immediately flee for known cover when threatened by a predator, without the need to ``get their bearings'' first-a behaviour of obvious adaptive significance.
