Whole mitochondrial genomes provide increased resolution and indicate paraphyly in deer mice
BMC Zoology, 2017 Background Recent phylogenies of deer mice, genus Peromyscus, have relied heavily on mitochondrial markers. These markers provided resolution at and below the level of species groups, but relationships among species groups and Peromyscus affiliated ...

Growth of human breast cancers in Peromyscus
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2018 Modeling breast cancer in general and hormone-sensitive breast cancer, in particular in mice, has several limitations. These are related to the inbred nature of laboratory mice, and do not allow adequate appreciation of the contribution of the host's ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.
