Function of left ventricle mitochondria in highland deer mice and lowland mice
To gain insight into the mitochondrial mechanisms of hypoxia tolerance in high-altitude natives, we examined left ventricle mitochondrial function of...

Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms shape the genomic landscape of deer mice
Chromosomal inversions are an important form of structural variation that can affect recombination, chromosome structure and fitness. However,...
-
Adaptive tail-length evolution in deer mice is associated with differential Hoxd13 expression in early development
Variation in the size and number of axial segments underlies much of the diversity in animal body plans. Here we investigate the evolutionary,...

Divergent SARS-CoV-2 variant emerges in white-tailed deer with deer-to-human transmission
Wildlife reservoirs of broad-host-range viruses have the potential to enable evolution of viral variants that can emerge to infect humans. In North...

Deer antlers: the fastest growing tissue with least cancer occurrence
Deer antlers are a bony organ solely able to acquired distinct unique attributes during evolution and all these attributes are against thus far known...

Developmental progression continues during embryonic diapause in the roe deer
Embryonic diapause in mammals is a temporary developmental delay occurring at the blastocyst stage. In contrast to other diapausing species...
-
Odor-based mate choice copying in deer mice is not affected by familiarity or kinship
Individuals pay attention to the social and mate decisions of others and use these to determine their own choices, displaying mate choice copying....

Characterization and arbovirus susceptibility of cultured CERNI cells derived from sika deer (Cervus nippon)
Cervus nippon (sika deer) are widely distributed throughout eastern Asia. Deer possess a variety of antibodies against several zoonotic pathogens,...

Comparative study of the function and structure of the gut microbiota in Siberian musk deer and Forest musk deer
AbstractMusk deer are famous for their secretion of musk; however, the scale of artificial breeding of musk deer is limited. Considering the lack of...

A taste of wilderness: supplementary feeding of red deer (Cervus elaphus) increases individual bacterial microbiota diversity but lowers abundance of important gut symbionts
The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the health and well-being of animals. It is especially critical for ruminants that depend on this...

Evolution and developmental plasticity of lung structure in high-altitude deer mice
Hypoxia at high altitudes can constrain the ability of endotherms to maintain sufficient rates of pulmonary O 2 transport to support exercise and...
-
Transcriptome profiling of lung immune responses potentially related to acute respiratory distress syndrome in forest musk deer
BackgroundForest musk deer is an endangered species globally. The death of captive forest musk deer can be caused by certain respiratory system...
-
Comparative transcriptome analysis provides insight into the molecular targets and signaling pathways of deer TGF-1 regulating chondrocytes proliferation and differentiation
BackgroundChondrocytes are the only cell components in the cartilage, which has the poor regeneration ability. Thus, repairing damaged cartilage...
-
Deer antler renewal gives insights into mammalian epimorphic regeneration
Deer antlers are the only known mammalian organ that, once lost, can fully grow back naturally. Hence, the antler offers a unique opportunity to...
-
Population regulation in the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) in old-growth coniferous forests of southern British Columbia: insights from a long-term study
We report a 26-year detailed record of changes in abundance and demography of the deer mouse ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) in old-growth coniferous forest...

The adaptive benefit of evolved increases in hemoglobin-O2 affinity is contingent on tissue O2 diffusing capacity in high-altitude deer mice
BackgroundComplex organismal traits are often the result of multiple interacting genes and sub-organismal phenotypes, but how these interactions...
-
Comparative karyotype analysis of the red brocket deer (M. americana sensu lato and M. rufa) complex: evidence of drastic chromosomal evolution and implications on speciation process
Chromosomal rearrangements are often associated with playing a role in the speciation process. However, the underlying mechanism that favors the...
-
Resilience, plasticity and robustness in gene expression during aging in the brain of outbred deer mice
BackgroundGenes that belong to the same network are frequently co-expressed, but collectively, how the coordination of the whole transcriptome is...

Neural transcriptomic signature of chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer
BackgroundThe increasing prevalence and expanding geographical range of the chronic wasting disease (CWD) panzootic in cervids is threatening human,...
