Photoperiod and Reproduction in Female Deer Mice [PDF]
Female deer mice were exposed to a short day (SD, 6L:18D) photoperiod beginning during 1 of 3 stages of life. In the first experiment, exposure to SD during adulthood resulted in a minimal disruption of reproductive condition; many females bore 2 litters after the onset of this treatment.

Age and aerobic performance in deer mice [PDF]
SUMMARYAge impacts the phenotype of all multicellular animals, but lifetime changes in physiological traits are poorly understood for all but a few species. Here, we describe a cross-sectional study of age effects on body composition, aerobic performance and ventilation in deer mice Peromyscus maniculatus.

Development and Characterization of a Sin Nombre Virus Transmission Model in Peromyscus maniculatus
In North America, Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is the main cause of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), a severe respiratory disease with a fatality rate of 35⁻40%. SNV is a zoonotic pathogen carried by deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), and few

Natural History of Sin Nombre Virus in Western Colorado
A mark-recapture longitudinal study of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody to Sin Nombre virus (SNV) in rodent populations in western Colorado (1994—results summarized to October 1997) indicates the presence of SNV or a closely related hantavirus at two ...

Profiling helper T cell subset gene expression in deer mice
Background Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) are the most common mammals in North America and are reservoirs for several zoonotic agents, including Sin Nombre virus (SNV), the principal etiologic agent of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in ...

RAPID MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGE IN CHANNEL ISLAND DEER MICE [PDF]
Deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus, collected over 90 years from three California Channel Islands, were examined for evidence of morphological change. Rapid morphological change has occurred in the endemic subspecies from Santa Barbara (P. m. elusus), Anacapa (P. m. anacapae), and Santa Cruz Island (P. m. santacruzae).
