	Spinifex Hopping Mouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spinifex Hopping Mouse (Notomys alexis), also known as the Tarkawara or Tarrkawarra, occurs throughout the central and western Australian arid zones, occupyong both spinifex-covered sand flats and stabilised sand dunes, and loamy mulga and melaleuca flats.
		As with all hopping mice, the hind legs are greatly elongated, the fore limbs small, and the brush-tipped tail very long—about 140 mm.
		The Spinifex Hopping Mouse is widespread and although the population fluctuates considerably, is not considered at risk.

		The Fawn Hopping Mouse (Notomys cervinus) is found on the sparsely vegetated arid gibber plains and claypans of the Lake Eyre Basin.
		The Darling Downs Hopping Mouse (Notomys mordax) is almost certainly extinct and is known only from a single skull collected somewhere on the Darling Downs of south-east Queensland in the 1840s, apparently from a creature similar to Mitchell's Hopping-mouse.

		The Spinifex Hopping Mouse (Notomys alexis) is the most widespread of all hopping-mice and is found in Central Australia extending west in areas of sandy soil.
		Spinifex Hopping-mice are relatively easy to obtain and can be kept indoors, although, as they are rodents, they do have a “mouse” smell.
		As Spinifex Hopping-mice are not strictly nocturnal they can often be seen foraging about for food during the day, however they are primarily active at dusk and dawn.

		Studies on sperm storage in the vas deferens of the spinifex hopping mouse (Notomys alexis)
		However, in the adult male spinifex hopping mouse, Notomys alexis, similar numbers of spermatozoa are found in the vas deferens to those in the cauda epididymidis.
		After ligation of the vas deferens close to its connection with the epididymis, many spermatozoa in the vas deferens retain the potential for motility for up to 2 weeks, indicating that the viability of spermatozoa is not compromised by being restricted to core body temperature.

	CSIRO PUBLISHING - Reproduction, Fertility and Development
		However, in the spinifex hopping mouse, Notomys alexis, epididymal sperm transit is rapid and some sperm storage occurs in the distal region of the vas deferens.
		It was found that, whereas laboratory mouse sperm completed chromatin condensation by the time they reached the cauda epididymidis, hopping mouse sperm nuclei from the vas deferens showed significantly less mBBr fluorescence and a greater proportion of sperm were resistant to decondensation with SDS than those in the cauda epididymidis.
		Therefore, the results of the present study indicate that, unlike in the laboratory mouse, hopping mouse chromatin condensation of spermatozoa continues in the vas deferens and this may be due, at least in part, to rapid epididymal transit.

	Spinifex Hopping Mouse -Australian Reptile Park Animals
		Spinifex hopping mice live in small social groups with several individuals often sharing a burrow system.
		Habitat: Common throughout the central interior of Australia and extending west to the coast of Western Australia, the spinifex hopping mouse inhabits sandy areas dominated by grasses, especially spinifex.
		Reproduction: Young spinifex hopping mice are able to breed at around three months of age and breeding will take place at any time provided food is in good supply.

	Abstracts
		In the hopping mouse, fewer structural specialisations were observed along the length of the epididymis.
		By contrast, in the hopping mouse, the organisation of the testicular seminiferous epithelium, kinetics of sperm production, and storage were very different and, in fact, more reminiscent of that of humans.
		While the significance of such a reproductive strategy remains to be elucidated, it is evident that selective forces for maximising testis size and sperm numbers appear to have become relaxed in the hopping mouse, and that vast differences in the dynamics of germ cell production and storage have evolved in these two conilurine desert rodents.

		The Spinifex hopping mouse, Notomys alexis, is a desert rodent that can survive for extended periods without free access to water and it was hypothesised that to conserve water, the expression of guanylin, uroguanylin, and GC-C would be down-regulated to reduce the excretion of water in urine and faeces.
		The Australian hopping mouse (Notomys alexis) is also included because this animal is an ecological equivalent of the gerbils on the Asian and African continent.
