DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71728
Abstract: ABSTRACT Increased parental relatedness occurs in small wild populations and in closed colonies in captivity and reduces offspring fitness. A closed colony of Peromyscus maniculatus is maintained as genetically diverse stock at the Peromyscus Genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00335-018-9754-7
Abstract: Species across the rodent genus Peromyscus have become prominent models for studying diverse mechanistic and evolutionary processes, including chromosome evolution, infectious disease transmission and human health, ecological adaptation, coat color variation, and parental care. Supporting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2020.113640
Abstract: A common response to parasite infestations is increased production of glucocorticoid hormones that regulate immune function. We examined relationships between ectoparasite infestations and fecal corticosterone metabolites (FCM) in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). Furthermore, we experimentally… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-09241-2
Abstract: Evading imminent threat from predators is critical for animal survival. Effective defensive strategies can vary, even between closely related species. However, the neural basis of such species-specific behaviours remains poorly understood1, 2, 3–4. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjac106
Abstract: Abstract The development of interventions that reduce Lyme disease incidence remains a challenge. Reservoir-targeted approaches aiming to reduce tick densities or tick infection prevalence with Borrelia burgdorferi have emerged as promising ways to reduce the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.13663
Abstract: A central goal of evolutionary biology is to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic adaptation. While the contribution of protein‐coding and cis‐regulatory mutations to adaptive traits has been well documented, additional sources of variation –… read more here.

Predation of the Mexican Deer Mouse (Peromyscus mexicanus) by Long-Tailed Weasel (Mustela frenata) in Laguna Bélgica Educational Park, Ocozocoautla de Espinosa, Chiapas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Western North American Naturalist"
DOI: 10.3398/064.079.0413
Abstract: Abstract. The long-tailed weasel (Mustela frenata) is a generalist predator that feeds mainly on rodents and rabbits. However, predation on Peromyscus rodents has been reported mostly at the genus level and records are scarce. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1218.126535
Abstract: Abstract Deer mice, Peromyscus, thrive in diverse environments and altitudes across North and Central America. The number of extant species continues to be debated with species counts ranging from 53 to 83. This study represents… read more here.
