High‐Density SNP Genotyping Reveals High Population Connectivity and Limited Spatial Genetic Structure in Apodemus flavicollis and Apodemus sylvaticus [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
High‐density SNP arrays are increasingly used in ecological and evolutionary studies, yet their application in wild species remains challenging. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the Affymetrix Axiom Mouse HD array, originally developed for ...

Population structure of Apodemus flavicollis and comparison to Apodemus sylvaticus in northern Poland based on RAD-seq [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Mice of the genus Apodemus are one the most common mammals in the Palaearctic region. Despite their broad range and long history of ecological observations, there are no whole-genome data available for Apodemus, hindering our ability to ...

Dobrava-Belgrade Virus in Apodemus flavicollis and A. uralensis Mice, Turkey [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
In 2009, human Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV) infections were reported on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. Serologic and molecular studies of potential rodent reservoirs demonstrated DOBV infections in Apodemus flavicollis and A.

Blood parasites and bacteria of Muroidea rodents of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
The Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (ChEZ) is a unique area in the world. It combines two things: the largest man-made disaster site in the world and a radioecological observatory.

Environmental Heterogeneity as a Differential Driver for Density of Two Sympatric Rodent Species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Environmental heterogeneity acts as a differential driver for the densities of two sympatric rodent species, Apodemus flavicollis (specialist) and A. sylvaticus (generalist), along a heterogeneity gradient in a deciduous oak forest. Through a three‐year trapping campaign and analysis of forest overstorey and understorey components, we show that species

Long-Term Temporal Change of Small Mammal Composition and Abundance in the Food Intake of the Western Barn Owl (<i>Tyto alba</i>), Comparing Two Different Lowland Mesoregions. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The object of this study is to evaluate and compare the changes of the small mammal assemblages between two lowland mesoregions in Hungary based on Western Barn Owl pellet analysis. Prey composition, diversity, and community dynamics differed markedly between the two lowland regions, indicating that local landscape characteristics and weather ...

The origin of B chromosomes in yellow-necked mice (Apodemus flavicollis)-Break rules but keep playing the game. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
B chromosomes (Bs) are known for more than hundred years but their origin, structure and pattern of evolution are not well understood. In the past few years new methodological approaches, involving isolation of Bs followed by whole DNA amplification, DNA

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

Small mammals as hosts of vector-borne pathogens in the High Tatra Mountains region in Slovakia, Central Europe [PDF]

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
Rodents and insectivores are significant reservoirs of many zoonotic pathogens, contributing to the transmission of diseases affecting human and animal health.
