Abstract

Objective To observe the migration patterns of Rattus norvegicus in the desert area without railway. Methods Given previous investigation data, as well as changes in artificial water channels, farmland connection, highway, and vehicles, and considering the variation in the rodent community over time, the exclusive method was used to analyze the migration patterns of R. norvegicus. Results R. norvegicus migrated long distances with large trucks or along the farmland or residential area in the desert area. The desert habitat that spanned over 8 km impeded the migration of R. norvegicus. Conclusion R. norvegicus can migrate with large trucks in the desert area.
