Age and Huddling as Determinants of Metabolic Rate in Grasshopper Mice (Onychomys leucogaster) [PDF]
, 1979 The metabolic rates of grasshopper mice (Onychomys leucogaster) were determined every third day from birth to adulthood. Metabolic rates were quantitated by measuring oxygen consumption in an open circuit system.

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.

Mounting a specific immune response increases energy expenditure of the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum (tuco-tuco): Implications for intraspecific and interspecific variation in immunological traits [PDF]
, 2010 It was recently hypothesised that specific induced defences, which require substantial time and resources and are mostly beneficial against repeated infections, are more likely to be favoured in 'slow-living-pace' species.

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.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Environmental and Temporal Effects on Vocal Activity in a Nocturnal Primate: Implications for Passive Acoustic Monitoring [PDF]
Am J PrimatolPassive acoustic monitoring of the Critically Endangered Nosy Be sportive lemur (Lepilemur tymerlachsoni) for two lunar cycles revealed that vocal activity (i.e., call rates) increased over a 4‐h sampling window starting at twilight. The lemurs also called more as temperature and moonlight increased, and called less when it rained.

Urban park characteristics, genetic variation, and historical demography of white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) populations in New York City [PDF]
, 2014 Severe fragmentation is a typical fate of native remnant habitats in cities, and urban wildlife with limited dispersal ability are predicted to lose genetic variation in isolated urban patches. However, little information exists on the characteristics of
