Tick control bait box use by Peromyscus spp. influenced by habitat placement but raises questions on disease ecology

Ecosphere, 2019
White‐footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus (Rafinesque), and deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus Gloger, are considered important reservoir hosts for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative agent of Lyme disease.

Patterns of Genetic and Morphological Variation in Deer Mice (Peromyscus Maniculatus) in the Warner Mountains [PDF]

, 2011
A previously recognized north-south mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) break in populations of deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus, was investigated in Western North America. A 383-bp fragment of the mtDNA control region was analyzed from 107 tissue samples in the

Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Landscape Composition and Proximity to Water Affect American Badger Occupancy in Shortgrass Prairies 景观组成和与水的距离影响矮草草原中美洲獾的占域率

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
American badgers, a medium‐sized carnivore occurring in much of North America, are important predators in prairie landscapes though our understanding of their habitat use requirements in these areas is unclear. We used a multi‐scale approach to understand American badger habitat use at both local and landscape scales.
