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.

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

Journal 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 ...

Ecosphere, 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 ...

Use of Track Plates to Quantify Predation Risk at Small Spatial Scales [PDF]
, 2005 Spatial heterogeneity in risk is a critical component of predator-prey interactions. However, at small spatial scales, it is difficult to quantify predation risk without altering it.

Long‐term monitoring of island night lizards on San Nicolas Island
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.We describe the results of long‐term population monitoring of the island night lizard Xantusia riversiana on San Nicolas Island, California, following the species' removal from the U.S. Endangered Species list in 2014. The species' distribution remains largely the same since studies in the 1990s, though small increases in distribution were noted at the

Sibling rivalry: Males with more brothers develop larger testes
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 When females mate with multiple partners in a reproductive cycle, the relative number of competing sperm from rival males is often the most critical factor in determining paternity.

Biological control of conifer seed damage by the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) [PDF]
, 1978 This paper describes the development of a biological technique that successfully controls conifer seed damage by the deer mouse. Eleven experiments have been conducted on three study areas at the University of British Columbia Research Forest, Maple ...

Antihelmintic treatment alters the parasite community in a wild mouse host [PDF]
, 2013 Individuals are often co-infected with several parasite species, yet the consequences of drug treatment on the dynamics of parasite communities in wild populations have rarely been measured.

Heading west: ecology of swift foxes in a novel landscape beyond their range
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.The swift fox Vulpes velox is generally associated with the short‐grass prairie ecosystem of the North American Great Plains; a system that has declined by approximately 50% over the last century. Yet, swift fox populations seem to demonstrate regional variation in trends, with some populations declining while others appear stable to increasing.
