The Analysis of a Substrate Preference of PEROMYSCUS (Rodentia: Cricetidae)
<p>The preference for a rocky situation was analyzed under laboratory conditions. In three-compartmented choice boxes, Peromyscus californicus and P. eremicus chose a compartment with rocks and a sandy floor over a compartment with just a sandy floor but P. maniculatus did not show a preference. In …

Biosystematics and Life Histories of the PEROMYSCUS GUARDIA Group of Mice and PEROMYSCUS EREMICUS (Rodentia: Cricetidae)
<p>The purpose of this project was to investigate the taxonomic relationship and the biology of Peromyscus eremicus, and the Peromyscus guardia group of mice from islands in the Gulf of California.</p> <p>Hybridization experiments were conducted between P. eremicus and P. interparietalis ryckmani. …

Estrutura da variação craniana em populações de Bolomys lasiurus (Lund, 1841) (Rodentia: Cricetidae) do Nordeste do Brasil
Cranial variability within and among populations of the akodont rodent Bolomys lasiurus from Northeastern Brazil is investigated. ln a first step, the correlation structures between tooth wear and suture ossification indexes are evaluated to access possible effects of sex, vegetation, season and …

An Analysis of Species Recognition in Sympatric, Allopatric and Reciprocally Cross-fostered PEROMYSCUS CALIFORNICUS and PEROMYSCUS EREMICUS (Rodentia, Cricetidae)
<p>Experiments were performed to compare homospecific and heterospecific mate selection in two closely related species, Peromyscus californicus and Peromyscus eremicus. Comparisons were made between allopatric and sympatric populations and between males and females for mate selection performance. …

Evolution of the mysRS element in the genome of rodent species
… While sequencing the mys element among the Cricetidae family of rodents, we identified a previously uncharacterized element in the genome of the Mexican volcano mouse that we refer to as mys-related sequence (mysRS). This investigation provides a unique opportunity to contrast the evolution …

Aspects of the energetics and renal physiology of some African arid-adapted rodents
… arid areas. In general, rodents belonging to the Cricetidae exhibited lower water turnovers and voided smaller volumes of urine at significantly greater concentrations than the murids. All these cricetid rodents were found to produce a crystalline precipitate of allantoin in their urine when water …

Mechanistic underpinnings of lacustrine brGDGT production, and proteomic vertebrate taxonomic identification of phrynosomatid lizards and arvicoline rodents
Paleoecology is a broad topic that seeks to characterize biological-environmental interactions of the past. Our understanding of modern ecology is enhanced and informed by paleoecology. Paleoecological analyses on issues such as species distribution, extinction and generation, and the impacts of …
