Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Ticks are obligate ectoparasites that blood‐feed on a variety of vertebrate hosts including rodents such as deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii. Female blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis—but not female lone star ticks, Amblyomma americanum, or American dog ticks, Dermacentor variabilis—were attracted to urine‐ and feces‐soiled bedding of male ...

Spatial variation in trophic ecology of small mammals in wetlands: support for hydrological drivers
Ecosphere, 2016 Food webs composed of similar consumers can vary based on nutrient input, habitat structure, and other factors. For wetland‐associated species, fluctuating water levels can potentially affect habitat quality, which in turn can affect trophic diversity ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend We investigated how environmental hypoxia and genetic adaptation to high altitudes jointly impact the development of the placental exchange surface in ways that might protect fetal growth potential. We used wild‐derived, lab‐born North American deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from low‐elevation and high‐elevation environments (

Scientific Reports, 2023 To better understand functional morphological adaptations to high elevation (> 3000 m above sea level) life in both North American and African mountain-associated rodents, we used microCT scanning to acquire 3D images and a 3D morphometric approach to ...

Mammalian Species, 1998 Almost nothing is known of P. caniceps (Avise et al., 1974; Hooper, 1968). According to Burt (1932), it is similar in some respects and undoubtedly belongs to the same group as P.pseudocrinitus; however, P. caniceps appears to be a distinct species. It differs radically in coloration from P.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend In lowland mammals that ascend to high elevation, hypoxia‐induced changes in the pulmonary circulation can give rise to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) and associated right‐ventricle (RV) hypertrophy. Andean mice with broad elevational ranges have greater heart mass relative to body size at higher elevations, but they ...

Collection of blood from wild‐caught mice (Peromyscus) via submandibular venipuncture
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 ABSTRAC Submandibular venipuncture is a common technique used to harvest whole blood from laboratory‐strain mice, but its effectiveness on wild‐caught Peromyscus spp. has not been formally tested.

Micofagia por roedores en un bosque templado del centro de México
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012 La micofagia por roedores en hongos hipogeos ha sido documentada en diversos ecosistemas a nivel mundial, sin embargo el consumo de hongos epigeos por este grupo ha sido pobremente estudiado.

Mitochondrial physiology in cardiac muscle of deer mice native to high altitude
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend High‐altitude deer mice exhibited evolved changes in mitochondrial energy metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) management that may support cardiac performance under cold hypoxic conditions. High‐altitude mice had increased activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the heart, probably enhancing the capacity for lactate ...
