Parallelisms and Contrasts in the Diverse Ecologies of the Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi Complexes of Bacteria in the Far Western United States. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi are two tick-borne bacteria that cause disease in people and animals. For each of these bacteria, there is a complex of closely related genospecies and/or strains that are genetically distinct and have ...

Leveraging Long‐Term Ecological Research Initiatives Into the One Health Synthesis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We address important ecological and evolutionary considerations for advancing a One Health perspective by drawing attention to faunal and ecosystem changes occurring through the Great Plains of North America that have strong implications for future risk of emerging pathogens including zoonoses.

Rapid Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for the Detection of Hantavirus-Specific Antibodies in Divergent Small Mammals

open access: yesViruses, 2014
We assessed the utility of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of hantavirus-specific antibodies from sera of Oligoryzomys longicaudatus, the principal reservoir of Andes virus (ANDV), using an antigen previously developed for ...

Genomes, expression profiles, and diversity of mitochondria of the White-footed Deermouse Peromyscus leucopus, reservoir of Lyme disease and other zoonoses. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The cricetine rodents Peromyscus leucopus and P. maniculatus are key reservoirs for several zoonotic diseases in North America. We determined the complete circular mitochondrial genome sequences of representatives of 3 different stock colonies of P ...

Environmental DNA quantifies the terrestrial biodiversity co‐benefit of forested riparian buffers in agricultural landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3469-3479, December 2025.
We demonstrate that eDNA metabarcoding has the potential to rapidly quantify the benefits of agricultural conservation to terrestrial wildlife across taxa. Notably, we found that riparian buffers along streams in the Midwestern United States return an increase of one taxon for every 10% increase in forest cover, an important potential benefit of this ...

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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Diffusion and Home Range Parameters from Rodent Population Measurements in Panama

open access: yes, 2005
Simple random walk considerations are used to interpret rodent population data collected in Hantavirus-related investigations in Panama regarding the short-tailed cane mouse, \emph{Zygodontomys brevicauda}.

From coastlines to mountain crests: Regional and continental variation in North American marten diet and foraging

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Dietary plasticity is an important trait in an increasingly dynamic world and can reveal how species respond to changes in resource availability, intra‐ or interspecific interactions, and landscape structure. Small‐bodied carnivores occupy a unique trophic position as both consumers and prey while also filling critical roles in species ...
