Interspecific variation in cooperative burrowing behavior by Peromyscus mice
Evolution Letters, 2022 Animals often adjust their behavior according to social context, but the capacity for such behavioral flexibility can vary among species. Here, we test for interspecific variation in behavioral flexibility by comparing burrowing behavior across three ...

Experimental Infection of Peromyscus Species Rodents with Sin Nombre Virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We demonstrate that 6 distinct Peromyscus rodent species are permissive to experimental infection with Sin Nombre orthohantavirus (SNV). Viral RNA and SNV antibodies were detected in members of all 6 species. P.

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 ...

On the Evolution of Litter Size in Peromyscus leucopus [PDF]
Evolution, 1978 Litter or clutch size is an important component of an organism's total reproductive effort. Because of its importance, the evolution of litter or clutch size has received considerable theoretical attention (e.g., Brockelman, 1975; Cody, 1966; Lack, 1948; Mountford, 1968; Ricklefs, 1970; and Smith and Fretwell, 1974). Most authors point out that optimal

Photoperiod mediated changes in olfactory bulb neurogenesis and olfactory behavior in male white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Brain plasticity, in relation to new adult mammalian neurons generated in the subgranular zone of the hippocampus, has been well described. However, the functional outcome of new adult olfactory neurons born in the subventricular zone of the lateral ...

First evidence of White-footed Deer Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) on mainland New Brunswick, Canada
, 2022 White-footed Deer Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) and the closely related, and more northerly ranging, Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) broadly overlap in distribution and are often difficult to distinguish from each other. Based on molecular genetic data
