Population Dynamics of Peromyscus leucopus at Clear Creek Metro Park
Peromyscus leucopus, the white-footed mouse, is a generalist rodent that shows an affinity for deciduous forest fragments. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in population characteristics of mice based on variation in habitat. This study surveyed population characteristics of these very adaptive rodents within habitats at a novel field research site in the Hocking Hills region...
متن کاملHematopoietic Aging Biomarkers in Peromyscus leucopus Mice
We analyzed hematopoietic phenotypes in Peromyscus leucopus (PL) mice at young (2-9 months), middle (22-23 months) and old (33-46 months) ages aimed at characterizing age-associated changes in this unique rodent species. We found a significantly higher number of monocytes in old PL mice in peripheral blood, and higher proportions of CD44+ cells in blood, spleen and bone marrow in old PL mice th...
متن کاملVasopressin and aggression in cross-fostered California mice (Peromyscus californicus) and white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus).
To examine how developmental experiences alter neural pathways associated with adult social behavior, we cross-fostered pups between the more aggressive and monogamous California mouse (Peromyscus californicus) and the less aggressive and polygamous white-footed mouse (P. leucopus). Cross-fostered males became more like their foster parents when tested as adults. Male white-footed mice became m...
متن کاملModeling Powassan virus infection in Peromyscus leucopus, a natural host
The tick-borne flavivirus, Powassan virus (POWV) causes life-threatening encephalitis in humans in North America and Europe. POWV is transmitted by ixodid tick vectors that feed on small to medium-sized mammals, such as Peromyscus leucopus mice, which may serve as either reservoir, bridge or amplification hosts. Intraperitoneal and intracranial inoculation of 4-week old Peromyscus leucopus mice...
متن کاملCarbonic anhydrase polymorphism in a New Jersey population of the white-footed mouse Peromyscus leucopus.
Two electrophoretic forms of erythrocytic carbonic anhydrase were found to be controlled by one autosomal locus with two codominant alleles, CA(f) and CA(8). The gene frequencies for the CA(f) and CA(8) alleles were found to be.15 and.85, respectively, in a sample of 53 mice from Middlesex County, New Jersey. The observed genotypic frequencies indicated that the population was in Hardy-Weinberg...
