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 ...

Effects of age, density, and seasonality on molt pattern in the mammal genus (Peromyscus) [PDF]
, 2015 Molting, or replacement of pelage (hair) in mammals, occurs during ontogeny as individuals transition from juveniles to adults. Environmental factors can cause variation in molt in many species for thermoregulatory and camouflage purposes.
