Pair bonding and disruption impact lung transcriptome in monogamous Peromyscus californicus
Social interactions affect physiological and pathological processes, yet their direct impact in peripheral tissues remains elusive. Recently we...

Methylation studies in Peromyscus: aging, altitude adaptation, and monogamy
DNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging have been developed for humans and many other mammals and could be used to assess how stress factors impact...

Characterizing phenotypic data of Peromyscus leucopus compared to C57BL/6J Mus musculus and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus
Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we...

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...

Genomic variation in captive deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) populations
BackgroundDeer mice (genus Peromyscus ) are the most common rodents in North America. Despite the availability of reference genomes for some species,...

Highland forest’s environmental complexity drives landscape genomics and connectivity of the rodent Peromyscus melanotis
ContextDeciphering how the complex environmental dynamics of highland temperate forests drive local patterns of genetic variation is key to...
-
Phenotypic plasticity to chronic cold exposure in two species of Peromyscus from different environments
Effective thermoregulation is important for mammals, particularly those that remain winter-active. Adjustments in thermoregulatory capacity in...

Ancestral and developmental cold alter brown adipose tissue function and adult thermal acclimation in Peromyscus
Small, non-hibernating endotherms increase their thermogenic capacity to survive seasonal cold, through adult phenotypic flexibility. In mammals,...

Sex differences in offspring discrimination in the biparental California mouse (Peromyscus californicus)
Costs of parental care can include increased physical, physiological, and behavioral demands and reduced prospects for future reproduction....
-
Using genomic resources for linkage analysis in Peromyscus with an application for characterizing Dominant Spot
BackgroundPeromyscus are the most common mammalian species in North America and are widely used in both laboratory and field studies. The deer...

The discovery of multiple active mys-related LTR-retroelements within the Neotominae subfamily of cricetid rodents
Retrotransposon families in the rodent family Cricetidae have been understudied in contrast to Muridae, both taxa classified within the superfamily...

Personality and behavioral syndromes in two Peromyscus species: presence, lack of state dependence, and lack of association with home range size
AbstractOne common theme of adaptive hypotheses for the existence of stable individual differences in behavior (personality) or persistent...

A first species-wide phylogenetic analysis of small mammals from Costa Rica using mitochondrial cytochrome b
Costa Rica is within the Mesoamerican biodiversity hotspot and has about 53 native species of small mammals. This high diversity, along with recent...

DNA Barcoding and Demographic History of Peromyscus yucatanicus (Rodentia: Cricetidae) Endemic to the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
The Yucatan Peninsula (YP) is a biotic province located in southeastern Mexico, delimited mainly by climatic variables. One endemic species of the YP...

Restored Wetland Size and Age Influence Small Mammal Communities in West Virginia, USA
Small mammals are important, albeit often overlooked, fauna in wetland restoration projects. However, it is essential to evaluate factors that...

Camera traps strengthen inference about endangered beach mouse activity
Endangered species recovery requires knowledge of species abundance, distribution, habitat preferences, and threats. Endangered beach mouse...

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,...

The fast and the curious III: speed, endurance, activity, and exploration in mice
AbstractGiven that organismal performance (e.g., sprint speed, endurance) sets the “envelope” within which behaviour is possible, there are likely...

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,...

Individual (co)variation in locomotor activity, temporal plasticity, and predictability within a novel environment
AbstractAn important yet largely overlooked aspect of behavioral variation is that some individuals are consistently less “predictable” than others....
