Mitochondrial physiology in cardiac muscle of deer mice native to high altitude

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude deer mice exhibited evolved changes in mitochondrial energy metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) management that may support cardiac performance under cold hypoxic conditions. High‐altitude mice had increased activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the heart, probably enhancing the capacity for lactate ...

The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia in high‐altitude deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia has been contentious. Many high‐altitude natives have greater haemoglobin–O2 affinity (lower P50, the O2 pressure at 50% haemoglobin saturation) than their low‐altitude counterparts, but the advantages of this change for aerobic metabolism have often remained

Detection of CWD prions in urine and saliva of deer by transgenic mouse bioassay.

PLoS ONE, 2009
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting captive and free-ranging cervids (e.g. deer, elk, and moose). The mechanisms of CWD transmission are poorly understood, though bodily fluids are thought to play an important role.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making.

Increased Breeding Frequency Mitigates Inbreeding Depression in Peromyscus in Captivity

Ecology and Evolution
Increased parental relatedness occurs in small wild populations and in closed colonies in captivity and reduces offspring fitness. A closed colony of Peromyscus maniculatus is maintained as genetically diverse stock at the Peromyscus Genetic Stock Center

Effects of age, density, and seasonality on molt pattern in the mammal genus (Peromyscus) [PDF]

, 2015
Molting, or replacement of pelage (hair) in mammals, occurs during ontogeny as individuals transition from juveniles to adults. Environmental factors can cause variation in molt in many species for thermoregulatory and camouflage purposes.
