Mammalian Sleep Dynamics: How Diverse Features Arise from a Common Physiological Framework
Figure 2
Map of system dynamics corresponding to different mammalian species.
(A) Parameters corresponding to sleep patterns of 14 mammalian species, using data from the following sources: rat, mouse, hamster, squirrel and chinchilla [20], eastern mole [21], asian elephant [22], dog [23], jaguar [24], cat [25], fox [26], opossum [27], armadillo [28], common shrew [1], rhesus monkey [29], and slow loris [30]. (B) Sleep duration for these parameters, with zones corresponding to different numbers of sleep episodes per day, as labeled.
