Diffusion and Home Range Parameters for Rodents: Peromyscus maniculatus in New Mexico [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Complexity 3 (2006) 64-70, 2005
We analyze data from a long term field project in New Mexico, consisting of repeated sessions of mark-recaptures of Peromyscus maniculatus (Rodentia: Muridae), the host and reservoir of Sin Nombre Virus (Bunyaviridae: Hantavirus). The displacements of the recaptured animals provide a means to study their movement from a statistical point of view.

The genome sequence of the Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout 1769 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2021
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Rattus norvegicus (the Norway rat; Chordata; Mammalia; Rodentia; Muridae). The genome sequence is 2.44 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules,

Relationship between diet and reproductive success in the Israeli barn owl [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The effect of diet on barn owl (Tyto alba) breeding biology has been well studied in the temperate regions but not in the more arid Middle East. In temperate regions, barn owls are darker colored and mainly prey upon Cricetidae rodents, whereas in arid ...
