Characterization of a male reproductive transcriptome for Peromyscus eremicus (Cactus mouse) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Rodents of the genus Peromyscus have become increasingly utilized models for investigations into adaptive biology. This genus is particularly powerful for research linking genetics with adaptive physiology or behaviors, and recent research has ...

Differential gene expression in relation to mating system in Peromyscine rodents
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Behaviors that increase an individual's exposure to pathogens are expected to have important effects on immunoactivity. Because sexual reproduction typically requires close contact among conspecifics, mating systems provide an ideal opportunity to study ...

Methylation studies in Peromyscus: aging, altitude adaptation, and monogamy [PDF]
, 2021 DNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging have been developed for humans and many other mammals and could be used to assess how stress factors impact aging. Deer mice (Peromyscus) are long-living rodents that have emerged as an informative model to study

A Taxonomic Odyssey: An annotated checklist of Peromyscus (Cricetidae, Rodentia) in Honduras [PDF]
ZooKeysDeer mice, Peromyscus, thrive in diverse environments and altitudes across North and Central America. The number of extant species continues to be debated with species counts ranging from 53 to 83. This study represents the first comprehensive historical

Estrogen Receptor Alpha Distribution and Expression in the Social Neural Network of Monogamous and Polygynous Peromyscus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In microtine and dwarf hamsters low levels of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) and medial amygdala (MeA) play a critical role in the expression of social monogamy in males, which is characterized by high ...

Peromyscus mice as a model for studying natural variation
eLife, 2015 The deer mouse (genus Peromyscus) is the most abundant mammal in North America, and it occupies almost every type of terrestrial habitat. It is not surprising therefore that the natural history of Peromyscus is among the best studied of any small mammal.

Modeling Powassan virus infection in Peromyscus leucopus, a natural host.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 The tick-borne flavivirus, Powassan virus (POWV) causes life-threatening encephalitis in humans in North America and Europe. POWV is transmitted by ixodid tick vectors that feed on small to medium-sized mammals, such as Peromyscus leucopus mice, which ...
