Sex and seasonal variation in hippocampal volume and neurogenesis in the eastern chipmunk, Tamias striatus
… in HPC volume and neurogenesis in the eastern chipmunk, Tamias Striatus. HPC volume was greatest in males after controlling for age, consistent with males' greater spatial behaviour, but was seasonally stable. Neurogenesis exhibited a curvilinear pattern across the active season after …

Forest disturbance, mosquito vector ecology and La Crosse virus dynamics in southwestern Virginia
… and the LACV amplifying vertebrate host (chipmunks) were impacted by logging. This research was conducted across an experimental FCD gradient (from least to most disturbed: contiguous control, fragmented control, clearcut, and high-leave shelterwood (SW)). Using gravid traps, I found that …

Examination of small mammal diversity in the riparian areas of Walden, Tennessee
… mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) and the eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus). Mammalian diversity of each habitat type was calculated using ShannonWiener indices. Demographic comparisons were made using the most prevalent species P. leucopus. Demographic comparisons of P. leucopus were not found to …

The Influence of The Burrowing Mammal Tamias Striatus on The Soil Creep Process
The eastern chipmunk, Tamias striatus, was used as a representative burrowing animal to investigate the effect which organisms have on geomorphic slope processes in east central Illinois, U.S.A. Soil creep measurements were made on both a short-term (biweekly) and a long-term (one year) basis, …

The effects of a silvicultural sludge application on small mammal populations and the potential of Giardia contamination in a forest ecosystem
… Oregon vole (Microtus oregoni), Townsend chipmunk (Eutamias townsendii), shrews (Sorex spp.), and a few species caught occasionally, were sampled in control and treatment study sites from May 1990 to October 1991. Sludge application occurred in November 1990. There were no detectable …

Some diseases and parasites affecting cottontail rabbits in Virginia
… 3 opossums, 1 striped skunk, 1 Norway rat, 1 chipmunk, 1 white-tailed deer, and 1 bobwhite quail. This indicated that tularemia was present at Fort Pickett in a number of species and could be responsible for the low numbers of cottontails present. As the result of an epizootic of cerebrospinal …

Post-breeding public information use in a ground-nesting songbird community
… season in 2009 and 2010. I also played chipmunk vocalizations (nest predators, i.e., social cues indicating lower quality territory options) at half of these plots during the pre-breeding season. Response data (nest distances to nearest plot, nest counts at each plot, and nest initiation …

Perceived Predation Risk And The Responses Of Adult And Nestling Tree Swallows (tachycineta Bicolor)
… of a raccoon (Procyon lotor) and an eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), a study skin of an American Kestrel (Falco sparverius), and a rubber model of a black rat snake (Pantherophis obsoletus), as well as a study skin of an American Robin (Turdus migratorius) used as a control. Experiments …

The Effect of Habitat Fragmentation on Forest Mammals: An Experimental Analysis of Three Squirrel Distributions in the Agricultural Landscape of East Central Illinois
… occasion. The southern flying squirrel, eastern chipmunk, and eastern gray squirrel were consistently absent from isolated forest fragments. All three species rely on mast as their main food source and are thus dependent on forested areas for their survival. However, the fox squirrel, a species …

Protozoan, helminth and arthropod parasites of the gray squirrel in southwestern Virginia
… Gray squirrels, hamsters, white mice, and a chipmunk were successfully infected with cysts obtained from a naturally infected squirrel. ln vitro cultivation of the trophozoites was partially successful. Cultures were maintained up to 21 days. In examinations for helminths, 3l of the hosts …

Environmental factors affecting the range expansion of Ixodes scapularis, the blacklegged tick, (Acari:Ixodidae) in Illinois
… mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) and eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) while providing abundant edge habitat for large mammal I. scapularis reproductive hosts, such as white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Dominant tree species may also influence the presence and success of various …

The Eltro
… up by the same amount, we’d get the familiar “chipmunk” effect, where all of the signal frequencies have been shifted up by an amount corresponding to the increased tape speed. The Eltro got around this problem by preserving the signal’s frequency information while compressing or expanding its …

Comparative Transmission and Pathogenesis of La Crosse Virus (LACV) Lineages and Evidence for LACV Circulation in Virginia Wildlife
… vertebrate host species, primarily the Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) or via transovarial transmission from mother mosquitoes to offspring. Historically, LACV comprised two genetically distinct lineages: lineage I in the Midwest and Appalachian regions and lineage II in the southern region. …
