Using retrospective analyses to adaptively manage conservation breeding of an endangered rodent

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
The conservation of at‐risk species increasingly relies on ex‐situ breeding programs, whose success hinges on producing offspring. We demonstrate the utility of using retrospective analyses within an adaptive management framework to investigate the relative importance of decisions on the reproductive success of the endangered Pacific pocket mouse.

A new species of Trichuris Roederer, 1761 (Nematoda: Trichuridae) from Heteromys gaumeri Allen & Chapman (Rodentia: Heteromyidae) in Yucatan, Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In Mexico, four species of Trichuris Roederer, 1761 have been recorded in wild rodents belonging to the family Heteromyidae. In the present paper, we describe a new species based on specimens collected from Heteromys gaumeri Allen & Chapman (Heteromyidae:

Albinismo platinado en Liomys pictus (Mammalia: Heteromyidae)

open access: yesTherya, 2013
Albinism is a genetic abnormality, it can manifest as hypopigmentation or absence of color in skin, fur and eyes. The survival rate of wild animals with albinism is usually low. This paper reports the record of a platinum albino female of painted spiny pocket mouse Liomys pictus from Guerrero state, Mexico.

Springhares, flying and flightless scaly‐tailed squirrels (Anomaluromorpha, Rodentia) are the squirrely mouse: comparative anatomy of the masticatory musculature and its implications on the evolution of hystricomorphy in rodents

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 244, Issue 6, Page 900-928, June 2024.
The digital dissection of the masticatory musculature of (a) Anomalurus, (b) Idiurus, (c) Zenkerella, and (d) Pedetes reveals a great degree of diversity in morphology. These taxa present a hystricomorphous condition of the skull that largely differs from those of other rodents with an enlarged foramen and reaffirms the significance of the descriptive ...

Abundance estimates of Gunnison's prairie dogs compared to the number of active burrows

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 48, Issue 1, March 2024.
We investigated the relationship between estimates of abundance and active burrow counts for Gunnison's prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni) in the Aubrey Valley, AZ. We found no relationship between any index or esimate of abundance and active burrow counts. Active burrows poorly indexed abundance or density of prairie dogs. Abstract Reliable estimates of

Molecular Systematics of Dipodomys elator (Rodentia: Heteromyidae) and its Phylogeographic Implications [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mammalogy, 2000
Abstract Previous systematic studies, using morphometric, allozymic, and cytogenetic data, have produced conflicting results as to the relationship of Dipodomys elator to other species of kangaroo rats. In this study, phylogenetic relationships of D. elator and other closely related taxa (D. merriami, D. phillipsii, D. ordii, D.

Long‐term occupancy monitoring reveals value of moderate disturbance for an open‐habitat specialist, the Stephens' kangaroo rat (Dipodomys stephensi)

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2024.
From 2005–2018, we monitored populations of Stephen's Kangaroo Rat (SKR) on land actively managed for military training. SKR occupancy and colonization were both positively linked to military disturbance, which facilitated favorable habitat conditions.
