Distribution and frequency of Vkorc1 polymorphisms in house mice and Norway rats in the northeastern United States

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7700-7710, August 2026.
This study assesses the distribution and frequency of Vkorc1 polymorphisms in house mice and Norway rats in northeastern USA. House mice showed higher frequency of Vkorc1 mutations than Norway rats. The A32V and Y139F mutations are first reported in mice, and the L128V is newly reported in Norway rats.

Two Secondary Introductions From a Shared Bridgehead Population Show Evidence of Divergent and Parallel Selection

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions offer large‐scale experiments for examining rapid evolution and testing the predictability of adaptive change. Assessing the repeatability of such adaptive responses, however, requires replicated introductions that share similar demographic and environmental contexts. Single introduction events are common during biological

The Transcriptomic Response Along an Urbanization Gradient Is Also Temperature‐Dependent in a Freshwater Insect

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanization has become one of the leading causes of habitat transformation affecting ecosystem functioning. However, the transcriptomic response to urbanization remains poorly understood. Here, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis along an urbanization gradient under different warming temperatures.

The infection-tolerant white-footed deermouse tempers interferon responses to endotoxin in comparison to the mouse and rat

eLife
The white-footed deermouse Peromyscus leucopus, a long-lived rodent, is a key reservoir in North America for agents of several zoonoses, including Lyme disease, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, and a viral encephalitis.

Reintroduced megaherbivores and prescribed fire shape seed removal in restored tallgrass prairie

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We examined how common grassland management practices (prescribed fire, megaherbivore reintroduction) shape seed‐granivore interactions. Rodents played a key role in seed removal, removing more seeds in unburned plantings without bison. Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were especially associated with increased removal of invasive seeds, suggesting ...

Hantavirus in rodents in the United States: Temporal and spatial trends and report of new hosts

Ecosphere
In North America, the rodent‐borne hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is predominantly caused by the Sin Nombre virus, typically associated with the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus.

Collection of blood from wild‐caught mice (Peromyscus) via submandibular venipuncture

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
ABSTRAC Submandibular venipuncture is a common technique used to harvest whole blood from laboratory‐strain mice, but its effectiveness on wild‐caught Peromyscus spp. has not been formally tested.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Individual characteristics, experience, and environmental conditions shape large‐scale patterns of animal activity timing

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The timing of an animal's activity affects its survival and reproduction because timing determines the nature of every interaction an organism has with its environment. Although the timing of activity may depend on aspects of the individual (e.g., body mass, reproductive status, experience) or the nature of the environment (e.g., temperature ...
