Conservation of endangered Tipton kangaroo rats (Dipodomys nitratoides nitratoides): status surveys, habitat suitability, and conservation recommendations

open access: yesCalifornia Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2021
The Tipton kangaroo rat (Dipodomys nitratoides nitratoides; TKR) is listed as endangered both Federally and by the state of California due to profound habitat loss throughout its range in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California.

Heterothermy as a mechanism to offset energetic costs of environmental and homeostatic perturbations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Environmental and biotic pressures impose homeostatic costs on all organisms. The energetic costs of maintaining high body temperatures (T b) render endotherms sensitive to pressures that increase foraging costs.

Genetic and ecological evidence of long‐term translocation success of the federally endangered Stephens' kangaroo rat

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2021
The efficacy of translocation as a method for conserving species in peril has not been fully evaluated. Post‐release monitoring rarely involves long‐term assessments and initial success metrics may not translate to population viability.

Chiseling Away at the Dogma of Dietary Specialization in Dipodomys Microps

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Dipodomys microps, the chisel-toothed kangaroo rat, is heralded as one of few mammalian herbivores capable of dietary specialization. Throughout its range, the diet of D.

Statistical Sensitivity for Detection of Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Rodent Population Densities

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
A long-term monitoring program begun 1 year after the epidemic of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the U.S. Southwest tracked rodent density changes through time and among sites and related these changes to hanta–virus infection rates in various small ...

Community Assembly Reveals How Environmental Controls Over Rodent Competition Drive Deer Mouse Density and Hantavirus Infection [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Lett
We examined how community assembly processes shape Sin Nombre hantavirus (SNV) dynamics in rodent communities across the southwestern United States. Environmental factors structured community composition, which regulated deer mouse abundance and SNV infection, rather than diversity alone.
