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.

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 ...

Dispersal in Mastomys natalensis mice: use of fine-scale genetic analyses for pest management [PDF]
, 2008 Mastomys natalensis is the major pest rodent in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, population genetic techniques were used to gain new insights into its dispersal behaviour, a critical parameter in pest management.

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.

Comparison of Lagostomus maximus amelogenin gene (AMELX) with other mammals [PDF]
, 2016 The aim of this study was to compare the Lagostomus maximus AMEL sequence to assess their similarity with the AMEL genes from other mammals. Previously we reported a sequence of the AMEL gene of Lagostomus maximus which corresponds to the intron 3 of the

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.
