Dominant deer mice show the importance of abundance in competition
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Detecting competitive interactions is important for predicting species responses to environmental change but remains challenging, especially over large scales. Modern coexistence theory predicts that reduced ecological trait overlap promotes coexistence through stabilizing mechanisms, while fitness differences generate competitive asymmetries.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract While roads have well‐documented effects on wildlife movement, the impact of smaller non‐vehicle recreational trails typical of urban preserves is less thoroughly understood, particularly for small mammals. We used mark–recapture to identify movement of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) across three broad (>2.5 m) recreational trails in small

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.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract About half of all plant species rely on animals such as scatter‐hoarding small mammals for seed dispersal. These plants include many keystone species for which small mammals are key primary and secondary dispersal agents as well as seed predators.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.We used eDNA metabarcoding to calculate a fish‐based IBI and compared our eDNA‐IBI to a previously implemented fish‐IBI for the Tennessee River basin in northern Alabama. We found significant, positive relationships between the eDNA‐IBI and fish‐IBI, but we discuss how future directions may improve eDNA‐IBIs.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT Invasive species that undergo a founder event may experience a decline in genetic diversity yet still establish successful populations. A possible example is a population of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, which was founded following an introduction in the 1950s of a small number of individuals from Europe ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 486-518, February 2026.ABSTRACT A series of terminological, technical, conceptual, and statistical challenges present themselves when trying to study correlations between measures of performance abilities (what an animal can do) and behavioural traits (what an animal chooses to do).
