Mitochondrial physiology in cardiac muscle of deer mice native to high altitude

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude deer mice exhibited evolved changes in mitochondrial energy metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) management that may support cardiac performance under cold hypoxic conditions. High‐altitude mice had increased activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the heart, probably enhancing the capacity for lactate ...

Transcriptome of Peromyscus leucopus lungs infected with SARS-CoV-2

, 2023
<p><em>Peromyscus leucopus</em> is a reservoir for numerous zoonoses and one of the most abundant mammals in North America. Since they live near humans we are interested in the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection in this animal model ...

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

The Effect of Past Climatic Fluctuations on Peromyscus Leucopus Distribution in Western Kansas

, 1967
Systematic trapping was conducted along streams in western Kansas, where Peromyscus leucopus had not previously been recorded. Near the Kansas-Colorado border in west central Kansas, tree distribution is restricted to riparian communities and is found ...

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 ...

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.

An Ecological Dipole in North American Mast‐Eating Small Mammal Dynamics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Ecological dipoles are patterns in plant and animal indices of opposite extremes, and many ecological dipoles may exist. We discovered a novel ecological dipole in seed‐eating small mammals in North America using spatial analyses. We also tested for associations between climate variables and small mammal synchrony, and found that site proximity as well

Mate choice data for Peromyscus leucopus and P. gossypinus.

, 2017
Two-way mate choice data for Peromyscus leucopus and P. gossypinus using an electronically-gated choice apparatus. Contains trials where the test mice were raised with their own parents, cross-fostered to parents of the other species, or cross-fostered ...

Mammals' zoogeochemical effects change litter and soil biogeochemistry in a tropical rainforest

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract While most research on nutrient cycling has focused on plant–soil interactions or soil decomposers, recent studies highlight the emerging role of terrestrial mammals in contributing to biogeochemical cycles, a field known as zoogeochemistry. More than half of all mammal species are found in tropical forests, ecosystems currently experiencing ...

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.
