DOI: 10.1002/dev.21884
Abstract: Isolation calls are emitted by the offspring of many mammalian species when separated from caregivers and siblings. Some studies indicate that isolation call rates constitute a consistent individual trait; others show that the young adjust… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9683
Abstract: Abstract It is widely acknowledged that population structure can have a substantial impact on evolutionary trajectories. In social animals, this structure is strongly influenced by relationships among the population members, so studies of differences in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/hdy.2017.18
Abstract: Knowledge of the genetic make-up and demographic history of invasive populations is critical to understand invasion mechanisms. Commensal rodents are ideal models to study whether complex invasion histories are typical of introductions involving human activities.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-12021-2
Abstract: Female house mice produce pheromone-carrying major urinary proteins (MUPs) in a cycling manner, thus reaching the maximum urinary production just before ovulation. This is thought to occur to advertise the time of ovulation via deposited… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64939-9
Abstract: The house mouse ( Mus musculus ) represents the extreme of globalization of invasive mammals. However, the timing and basis of its origin and early phases of dispersal remain poorly documented. To track its synanthropisation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-67859-w
Abstract: Most published sleep studies use three species: human, house mouse, or Norway rat. The degree to which data from these species captures variability in mammalian sleep remains unclear. To gain insight into mammalian sleep diversity,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiac078
Abstract: The gastrointestinal microbiota (GM) is considered an important component of the vertebrate holobiont. GM-host interactions influence the fitness of holobionts and are therefore an integral part of evolution. The house mouse is a prominent model… read more here.
