Studies on protozoan parasites of small mammals
… on several different protozoan parasites of small mammals,moles (Talpa europaea), bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus), fieldvoles (Microtus agrestis), field mice (Apodemus sylvaticus), mice,rats and rabbits are described in this study.In the mole (Talpa europaea) three parasites were …

Bartonella in Small Mammals from Montana and Idaho
… pathogens that infect a diverse range of small mammals, yet their prevalence and distribution remain understudied in many host species. In this study, <em>Bartonella</em> infection was assessed across multiple small mammal species, revealing an overall prevalence of approximately 37% based …

Ecological niche responses of small mammals to gypsy moth disturbance
… of this study was to determine differences in small mammal assemblage structure and population dynamics among four oak dominated sites at four different stages of gypsy moth disturbance: a high tree mortality site, a disturbance in process site, a disturbance recovery site, and an undisturbed …

The Effects of Three Rodenticides on Nontarget Small Mammals and Invertebrates
Mortality of non-target small mammals and invertebrates using 3 rodenticide treatments (pre-baited zinc phosphide, pre-baited strychnine, and strychnine alone) was evaluated in western South Dakota. Rodenticides were applied September 22-24, 1983 on 15 black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys …

Fire effects on small mammals and vegetation of the Northern Chihuahuan Desert
… tridentata) dominated community and associated small mammal community. Prescribed burns were ignited during 13-15 June 1995 on 10 pairs (10 bumed. 10 unbumed) of 25- ha study sites. The 1995 bums reduced shmb (P = '» 006) and grass (P < 0.000) canopy cover to 64 and 16% of the preburn cover, …

Molecular detection and characterization of Bartonella in small mammals from southern Africa
… and diversity of Bartonella infections in 377 small mammals, representative of three terrestrial rodent genera, namely Aethomys, Gerbilliscus and Rhabdomys and one subterranean mole-rat species (Bathyergus suillus). The latter was sampled in close proximity to an informal human settlement, …

EVALUATION OF A FOREST RESTORATION STRATEGY ON SMALL MAMMALS IN SOUTHERN PINE ECOSYSTEMS
… function. Understanding disturbance-sensitive small mammal communities from restoration strategies (retention) can help achieve long-term management goals for ecosystem conservation across larger scales. I utilized bucket camera traps (Hunt Trap) to detect small mammal communities and assess …

Using Resident Small Mammals to Assess the Habitat Potential of Experimental Biofuels Feedstocks
… assessing their ecological effects on resident small mammals. Small mammals play vital roles in the systems they inhabit, and are especially useful in studying the impacts of various environmental variables. This study assessed the effects of feedstocks on deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) home …

Small Mammals in Prairie Wetlands: Habitat Use and the Effects of Wetland Modifications
Although well documented for other habitat types, small mammal habitat use patterns in prairie wetlands are poorly understood. The distribution of the mammal fauna of South Dakota is also not well known. Because of the lack of information in these areas, evaluation of the impacts of wetland …

Supplementary refuge as a tool for recovering small mammals and reptiles after fire
… impact of the 2019-2020 Black Summer fires. Small mammals and reptiles are of particular conservation concern due to their reliance on ground-level vegetation and woody debris, and increased vulnerability to predation in burnt landscapes. Despite the importance of post-fire conservation for …

Influence of Vegetation On The Distribution of Small Mammals On A Waterfowl Production Area
… to determine the distribution and abundance of small mammals. Three cover types, reseeded native grassed, brome-alfalfa, and bluegrass, were studied. Meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanious), and deer mice (Peronyscus maniculatus) were captured most frequently. Jumping ice (Zapus hudsonius), …

Immune gene expression and diversity in relation to gastrointestinal parasite burden in small mammals
MHC genes encode proteins that are responsible for the recognition of foreign antigens and the triggering of a subsequent, adequate immune response of the organism. Thus they hold a key position in the immune system of vertebrates. It is believed that the extraordinary genetic diversity of MHC …

CLIMATE DRIVEN RANGE SHIFTS OF NORTH AMERICAN SMALL MAMMALS: SPECIES’ TRAITS AND PHYLOGENETIC INFLUENCES
… in predicted range shifts in well-sampled small mammals that are restricted to North America: kangaroo rats, voles, chipmunks, and ground squirrels. I used species distribution modeling to develop predictions for the distributions of species under current and future climate scenarios, and …

Effects of Fire on the Ectoparasites of Small Mammals in Longleaf Pine (Pinus Palustris) Habitats
… and therefore increases the condition of small mammals in longleaf pine habitats. I trapped two areas with paired burned and unburned sites in east central Georgia during 2002 2003. I collected 190 mammals from 9 species and recovered 32 ectoparasite species. I found little overlap in …
