Estrogen Receptor Alpha Distribution and Expression in the Social Neural Network of Monogamous and Polygynous Peromyscus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In microtine and dwarf hamsters low levels of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) and medial amygdala (MeA) play a critical role in the expression of social monogamy in males, which is characterized by high ...

Mammalian Species, 1998 Almost nothing is known of P. caniceps (Avise et al., 1974; Hooper, 1968). According to Burt (1932), it is similar in some respects and undoubtedly belongs to the same group as P.pseudocrinitus; however, P. caniceps appears to be a distinct species. It differs radically in coloration from P.

Peromyscus mice as a model for studying natural variation
eLife, 2015 The deer mouse (genus Peromyscus) is the most abundant mammal in North America, and it occupies almost every type of terrestrial habitat. It is not surprising therefore that the natural history of Peromyscus is among the best studied of any small mammal.

Modeling Powassan virus infection in Peromyscus leucopus, a natural host.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 The tick-borne flavivirus, Powassan virus (POWV) causes life-threatening encephalitis in humans in North America and Europe. POWV is transmitted by ixodid tick vectors that feed on small to medium-sized mammals, such as Peromyscus leucopus mice, which ...

A Longitudinal Study of Sin Nombre Virus Prevalence in Rodents, Southeastern Arizona
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 We determined the prevalence of Sin Nombre virus antibodies in small mammals in southeastern Arizona. Of 1,234 rodents (from 13 species) captured each month from May through December 1995, only mice in the genus Peromyscus were seropositive.

Pair bonding and disruption impact lung transcriptome in monogamous Peromyscus californicus
BMC Genomics, 2023 Social interactions affect physiological and pathological processes, yet their direct impact in peripheral tissues remains elusive. Recently we showed that disruption of pair bonds in monogamous Peromyscus californicus promotes lung tumorigenesis ...
