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.

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.

Leveraging Long-Term Ecological Research Initiatives Into the One Health Synthesis. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe address important ecological and evolutionary considerations for advancing a One Health perspective by drawing attention to faunal and ecosystem changes occurring through the Great Plains of North America that have strong implications for future risk of emerging pathogens including zoonoses.

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.

Ecotone Might Provide Key Refugium for Sky Island Mammals in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSky islands are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world but face a disproportionately high threat from climate change. We examined the spruce‐fir–northern hardwood ecotone as a possible refugium for mammals in the Southern Appalachian red spruce (Picea rubens)–Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) sky islands.

Urban park characteristics, genetic variation, and historical demography of white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) populations in New York City [PDF]
, 2014 Severe fragmentation is a typical fate of native remnant habitats in cities, and urban wildlife with limited dispersal ability are predicted to lose genetic variation in isolated urban patches. However, little information exists on the characteristics of

Presence of Segmented Flaviviruses in Wild Rodents, Pennsylvania, USA
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 Identifying viruses in synanthropic animals is necessary for understanding the origin of many viruses that can infect human hosts and developing strategies to prevent new zoonotic infections.

When is a parasite not a parasite? Effects of larval tick burdens on white-footed mouse survival [PDF]
, 2014 Many animal species can carry considerable burdens of ectoparasites: parasites living on the outside of a host's body. Ectoparasite infestation can decrease host survival, but the magnitude and even direction of survival effects can vary depending on the
