Embryonic Development of the Deer Mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Deer mice, or Peromyscus maniculatus, are an emerging model system for use in biomedicine. P. maniculatus are similar in appearance to laboratory mice, Mus musculus, but are more closely related to hamsters than to Mus.

Cellular evolution of the hypothalamic preoptic area of behaviorally divergent deer mice [PDF]
eLifeGenetic variation is known to contribute to the variation of animal social behavior, but the molecular mechanisms that lead to behavioral differences are still not fully understood. Here, we investigate the cellular evolution of the hypothalamic preoptic
