Hybridization and Immunology in Animals: A Review

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Hybridization can reshape immune function by introducing novel genetic variation and combining parental immune traits. Across animal taxa, this process may influence resistance, tolerance, and pathogen dynamics, with important implications for disease ecology and One Health.

Comparison of arboreal behaviors in Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis and P. leucopus noveboracensis in northern Michigan. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
MammalogyFor at least one hundred years, the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus and the white‐footed mouse P. leucopus have coexisted stably in northern Michigan, despite occupying similar ecological niches. It has been suggested that P. maniculatus and P.

The Annual Lipid Cycle of Peromyscus Leucopus in Eastern Nebraska

open access: yes, 1985
The relationship of the annual lipid cycle of Peromyscus leucopus to sex, reproductive status, and environmental conditions was evaluated. The lipid index, as g fat/g fat-free dry weight (FFDW), indicated significant differences among months in both ...

Table_1_Comparative transcriptome analysis of Peromyscus leucopus and C3H mice infected with the Lyme disease pathogen.docx

open access: yes, 2023
Lyme disease (LD), the most prevalent tick-borne disease of humans in the Northern Hemisphere, is caused by the spirochetal bacterium of Borreliella burgdorferi (Bb) sensu lato complex.

Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Tick control bait box use by Peromyscus spp. influenced by habitat placement but raises questions on disease ecology

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
White‐footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus (Rafinesque), and deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus Gloger, are considered important reservoir hosts for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative agent of Lyme disease.

Community Assembly Reveals How Environmental Controls Over Rodent Competition Drive Deer Mouse Density and Hantavirus Infection

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
We examined how community assembly processes shape Sin Nombre hantavirus (SNV) dynamics in rodent communities across the southwestern United States. Environmental factors structured community composition, which regulated deer mouse abundance and SNV infection, rather than diversity alone.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.
