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 ...

Characterization of the transcriptome, nucleotide sequence polymorphism, and natural selection in the desert adapted mouse Peromyscus eremicus [PDF]
, 2014 As a direct result of intense heat and aridity, deserts are thought to be among the most harsh of environments, particularly for their mammalian inhabitants. Given that osmoregulation can be challenging for these animals, with failure resulting in death,

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend We investigated how environmental hypoxia and genetic adaptation to high altitudes jointly impact the development of the placental exchange surface in ways that might protect fetal growth potential. We used wild‐derived, lab‐born North American deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from low‐elevation and high‐elevation environments (

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 ...

The Bold, Silent Type: Predictors of Ultrasonic Vocalizations in the Genus Peromyscus
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 An ongoing question related to the evolution of monogamy is how behavioral traits that characterize individuals in monogamous species evolve, and whether monogamy influences the evolution of these traits. One of the most important models for the study of

Reviewing the effects of food provisioning on wildlife immunity [PDF]
, 2018 While urban expansion increasingly encroaches on natural habitats, many wildlife species capitalize on anthropogenic food resources, which have the potential to both positively and negatively influence their responses to infection.
