Nutritional and environmental factors influence small mammal seed selection in a northern temperate forest

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Rodents can influence the succession and assembly of plant communities by preying on and dispersing seeds. Using a seed tray experiment with three common seeds, American beech (Fagus grandifolia), red maple (Acer rubrum), and eastern hemlock (Tsuga ...

Genomes, expression profiles, and diversity of mitochondria of the White-footed Deermouse Peromyscus leucopus, reservoir of Lyme disease and other zoonoses. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2019
The cricetine rodents Peromyscus leucopus and P. maniculatus are key reservoirs for several zoonotic diseases in North America. We determined the complete circular mitochondrial genome sequences of representatives of 3 different stock colonies of P ...

A Longitudinal Study of Sin Nombre Virus Prevalence in Rodents, Southeastern Arizona

open access: yesEmerging 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.

Dispersal of Dioon edule cycad seeds by rodents in a tropical oak forest in Mexico

open access: yesTropical 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

open access: yesScientific 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.

Host species and environment drivers of ectoparasite community of rodents in a Mojave Desert wetlands

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Drivers of patterns of ectoparasitism in rodents in patchy Mojave Desert wetlands were investigated. A total of 1,571 ectoparasites in Mesostigmata, Trombidiformes, Siphonaptera and Ixodida were collected from 341 rodents (Microtus californicus ...
