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.

Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Nursing behaviour in wild-caught Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis

, 2014
Wild-caught Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis mothers were housed in individual Plexiglass cages where their  behaviour was scored as one of 12 behavioural categories every 3 min. This video demonstrates a visible bout of nursing behaviour.

Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.
Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

Abundance–Occupancy Relationships are Informed by Species Temporal Occupancy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Understanding how species spatial and temporal distributions are related to abundance is fundamental to ecology. Indeed, the relationship between species spatial occupancy and abundance has been investigated across taxa and environments. Less studied, is how species temporal occupancy may inform the spatial abundance–occupancy relationship.

Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems: Charting Sin Nombre Virus Infections in Deer Mice

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000
We tested environmental data from remote sensing and geographic information system maps as indicators of Sin Nombre virus (SNV) infections in deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) populations in the Walker River Basin, Nevada and California.

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

Ecosphere, 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.

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

Ecology 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.

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.
