Pair bonding and disruption impact lung transcriptome in monogamous Peromyscus californicus

BMC Genomics, 2023
Social interactions affect physiological and pathological processes, yet their direct impact in peripheral tissues remains elusive. Recently we showed that disruption of pair bonds in monogamous Peromyscus californicus promotes lung tumorigenesis ...

A Longitudinal Study of Sin Nombre Virus Prevalence in Rodents, Southeastern Arizona

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
We determined the prevalence of Sin Nombre virus antibodies in small mammals in southeastern Arizona. Of 1,234 rodents (from 13 species) captured each month from May through December 1995, only mice in the genus Peromyscus were seropositive.

Prelude to the Anthropocene: Two new North American Land Mammal Ages (NALMAs) [PDF]

, 2014
Human impacts have left and are leaving distinctive imprints in the geological record. Here we show that in North America, the human-caused changes evident in the mammalian fossil record since c.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Persistent effects of pair bonding in lung cancer cell growth in monogamous Peromyscus californicus

eLife, 2021
Epidemiological evidence suggests that social interactions and especially bonding between couples influence tumorigenesis, yet whether this is due to lifestyle changes, homogamy (likelihood of individuals to marry people of similar health), or directly ...

Effects of age, density, and seasonality on molt pattern in the mammal genus (Peromyscus) [PDF]

, 2015
Molting, or replacement of pelage (hair) in mammals, occurs during ontogeny as individuals transition from juveniles to adults. Environmental factors can cause variation in molt in many species for thermoregulatory and camouflage purposes.

Molecular Investigations on Angiogenesis and Oxidative Stress in Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Bucks' Testes Throughout the Reproductive Cycle

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animals with seasonal reproductive cycles, as the Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), have developed mechanisms to synchronize reproduction with the environmental cycle in order to optimize reproductive success through melatonin. Angiogenesis and oxidative stress are key processes in spermatogenesis, contributing to testicular remodeling and ...
