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: 10.1093/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.

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.
