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 ...

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Counter-gradient variation and the expensive tissue hypothesis explain parallel brain size reductions at high elevation in cricetid and murid rodents

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 ...

From Model to Practice: Testing Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy as a Bone Collagen Prescreening Tool

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collagen is a vital archaeological material, preserving biochemical signatures that provide insights into past environments, diets, and human–animal interactions. However, diagenetic processes can lead to rapid and often inconspicuous degradation of collagen. Given the variability in collagen preservation and its significance for analyses such

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.

You Scratch My Back: White‐Footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) Sibling Pairs Engage in Allogrooming in Response to Tick Burdens

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigated whether blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) infestation influences allogrooming behavior in sibling pairs of white‐footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus). Using laboratory‐reared siblings housed in pairs, we compared allogrooming frequency and cumulative duration between tick‐infested and non‐infested groups across both sexes ...
