Reintroduced megaherbivores and prescribed fire shape seed removal in restored tallgrass prairie
We examined how common grassland management practices (prescribed fire, megaherbivore reintroduction) shape seed‐granivore interactions. Rodents played a key role in seed removal, removing more seeds in unburned plantings without bison. Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were especially associated with increased removal of invasive seeds, suggesting ...

Seasonal changes in plant–animal interactions, such as seed dispersal and predation, remain poorly understood in temperate ecosystems. We examined seed removal of three woody species (Acer saccharum, Tsuga canadensis, and Lonicera spp.) by small mammals (

Prescribed fire temporarily can alter food and cover resources for ground‐dwelling wildlife, potentially leading to changes in animal abundance. Small mammals are an important ecosystem component in many terrestrial communities and depend on ground‐level

Rapid Field Immunoassay for Detecting Antibody to Sin Nombre Virus in Deer Mice
We developed a 1-hour field enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting antibody to Sin Nombre virus in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). The assay specificity and sensitivity were comparable to those of a standard EIA.

Orthohantaviruses infect distinct eulipotyphlan and rodent reservoirs throughout the world; some rodent orthohantaviruses can cause disease in humans. In the United States, a primary rodent reservoir for the human-pathogenic Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is the

Genetic Diversity and Distribution of Peromyscus-Borne Hantaviruses in North America
The 1993 outbreak of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the southwestern United States was associated with Sin Nombre virus, a rodent-borne hantavirus; The virus' primary reservoir is the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus).

The Role of Mammalian Reservoir Hosts in Tick-Borne Flavivirus Biology
Small-to-medium sized mammals and large animals are lucrative sources of blood meals for ixodid ticks that transmit life-threatening tick-borne flaviviruses (TBFVs).
