Variation in forest patch habitat quality for white‐footed mice driven by invasive plants in an urbanizing landscape
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70068
Abstract: The habitat quality of urban forest patches is determined by the composition and structure of vegetation which in turn affects the quality of trophic resources and shelter provided for wildlife species. In addition, urban development… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyx012
Abstract: Microhabitat conditions affect foraging by small mammals. We investigated the effect of vegetation (vertical cover, coarse woody debris, size of trees) and illumination (cloud cover, lunar illumination) and their interactions on patch use and foraging… read more here.

Permission to bite: White‐footed mice show no increased grooming response to tick infestation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Journal of Zoology"
DOI: 10.1111/jzo.70010
Abstract: The presence of parasites can significantly influence animal behavior. Specifically, grooming behavior may have evolved in part as a response to the physical and psychological challenges induced by parasitism. Grooming behaviors, which can be individual… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01784
Abstract: Ticks transmit infectious agents including bacteria, viruses and protozoa. However, their transmission may be compromised by host resistance to repeated tick feeding. Increasing host resistance to repeated tick bites is well known in laboratory animals,… read more here.
