A comparison of scent marking between a monogamous and promiscuous species of peromyscus: pair bonded males do not advertise to novel females. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Scent marking can provide behavioral and physiological information including territory ownership and mate advertisement. It is unknown how mating status and pair cohabitation influence marking by males from different social systems.

The genome of Peromyscus leucopus, natural host for Lyme disease and other emerging infections. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2019 The rodent Peromyscus leucopus is the natural reservoir of several tick-borne infections, including Lyme disease. To expand the knowledge base for this key species in life cycles of several pathogens, we assembled and scaffolded the P.

Dispersal of Dioon edule cycad seeds by rodents in a tropical oak forest in Mexico
Tropical Zoology, 2021 Predation of seeds of the cycad Dioon edule Lindl. by Peromyscus mexicanus (Saussure, 1860) has been previously documented, demonstrating that the seeds’ toxins are not harmful when combined with a varied diet.

It’s about time: small mammal communities and Lyme disease emergence
Scientific Reports, 2023 Theory predicts that biodiversity changes due to climate warming can mediate the rate of disease emergence. The mechanisms linking biodiversity-disease relationships have been described both theoretically and empirically but remain poorly understood.

The lyme disease pathogen has no effect on the survival of its rodent reservoir host. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Zoonotic pathogens that cause devastating morbidity and mortality in humans may be relatively harmless in their natural reservoir hosts. The tick-borne bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme disease in humans but few studies have investigated whether
