Most mammals do not wander: few species escape continental endemism

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Terrestrial mammals are found nearly everywhere on Earth. Yet, most taxa are endemic to a single continent; geological, evolutionary, ecological, or physiological filters constrain geographic distributions. Here, we synthesize data on geography, taxonomy, lineage age, dispersal, body size, and diet for > 4000 terrestrial mammals prior to detectable ...

Antihelmintic treatment alters the parasite community in a wild mouse host [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

The impact of gigafire on vegetation structure, terrestrial vertebrate abundance and diel activity

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Fire regimes are shifting around the world due to climate and land‐use change, resulting in an increased frequency of large and severe wildfires. However, the impact of extreme wildfire events on animal species remains poorly understood. Particularly lacking is an understanding of how fire affects animal behaviour.

Biological control of conifer seed damage by the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The Impact of Whole‐Animal Fluid Preservation on the Observed Gut Microbiome of Vertebrates: Implications for the Use of Museum Specimens in Microbiome Research

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The vertebrate gut houses diverse microbial communities that provide insights into their host's ecological and evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, microbiome research has not been distributed equally across host taxonomy, geography and timescales. The millions of fluid‐preserved specimens stored in natural history museums worldwide represent

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.
