Humane Use of Cardiac Puncture for Non-Terminal Phlebotomy of Wild-Caught and Released Peromyscus spp.

Animals, 2020
The cardiac puncture technique for obtaining relatively large volume (50–150 µL) blood samples from sedated rodents has been used in research for nearly a century.

The role of southern red-backed voles, Myodes gapperi, and Peromyscus mice in the enzootic maintenance of Lyme disease spirochetes in North Dakota, USA

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Lyme disease has expanded into the Great Plains of the USA. To investigate local enzootic transmission, small mammals were trapped in two forested tracts in northeastern North Dakota during 2012 and 2013.

Investigating effects of soil chemicals on density of small mammal bioindicators using spatial capture-recapture models.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Monitoring the ecological impacts of environmental pollution and the effectiveness of remediation efforts requires identifying relationships between contaminants and the disruption of biological processes in populations, communities, or ecosystems ...

Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

The individual context of ultrasonic vocalizations produced by free-living Brush mice (Peromyscus boylii) with an emphasis on differences between males and females [PDF]

, 2010
Muroid rodents regularly use ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs). The majority of research work on USV communication in rodents comes from laboratory strains of rats (Rattus norvegicus) and mice (Mus musculus). Peromyscus boylii species like M.

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 ...

Is the Cognitive Ability of Fawn‐Footed Mosaic‐Tailed Rat Melomys cervinipes Offspring Related to Mothers’ Care or Cognitive Abilities?

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cognitive abilities of many non‐human animals have been investigated in recent years; however, outside of laboratory rodent strains, it is largely unknown how direct and indirect genetic factors influence the development of cognition. In a previous study, we found no impact of maternal genetic or non‐genetic effects on problem solving in ...

Distribution and frequency of Vkorc1 polymorphisms in house mice and Norway rats in the northeastern United States

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study assesses the distribution and frequency of Vkorc1 polymorphisms in house mice and Norway rats in northeastern USA. House mice showed higher frequency of Vkorc1 mutations than Norway rats. The A32V and Y139F mutations are first reported in mice, and the L128V is newly reported in Norway rats.
