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, …

Sex and seasonal variation in hippocampal volume and neurogenesis in the eastern chipmunk, Tamias striatus
… 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 controlling for …

Répétabilité, déterminants, héritabilité et patrons de sélection de la docilité chez le tamia rayé (Tamias striatus)
… les manipulateurs chez une population sauvage de tamias rayés (Tamias striatus). La variation dans l’expression de la docilité entre les individus d’une population peut être maintenue par une hétérogénéité spatiale et temporelle dans les conditions environnementales. Premièrement, la variation …

Small mammal communities on a reclaimed mountaintop mine/valley fill landscape in southern West Virginia
… most common array capture. Eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus), woodland jumping mice (Napaeozapius insignus), woodland voles (Microtus pinetorum), northern short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda), and pygmy shrews (Sorex hoyi) were more common in forest treatments; Peromyscus, house mice (Mus …

Examination of small mammal diversity in the riparian areas of Walden, Tennessee
… (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 be …

Analyse de la variation phénotypique du compromis vitesse-exactitude dans une population de tamias rayés
… de décision au sein d’une population sauvage de tamias rayés (Tamias striatus). J’ai également évalué l’influence de la personnalité sur la vitesse et l’exactitude des décisions. Je n’ai pas trouvé de compromis entre la vitesse de prise de décision et l’exactitude de celles-ci, que ce soit entre …

Lithologic, edaphic, and biotic factors of small mammal habitats in the slate belt of Western Rutland County, Vermont, and Eastern Washington County, New York
… Zapus hudsonius, Microtus pennsylvanicus, and Tamias striatus. The capture rate was 25.00 animals per 1000 trap-nights (222 animals in 8880 trap-nights). Various conclusions are drawn concerning the occurrence of different species and various factors, including type of soil, type of bedrock, …

Geographic distributions and vertebrate host specificity of genetic lineages of Borrelia burgdorferi
… HIA in a site with almost no mice. Chipmunks (Tamias striatus) were hosts of allele U, the only specialist. Surprisingly, while an unexpectedly large number of alleles were recovered from chipmunks, including HIAs, allele U was not found in mixed infections. These results are consistent with …

Diet and Feeding Ecology of the Coyotes, Black Bears, and Bobcats in Western Virginia and Preliminary Assessment of Coyote Parasites
… in fall and perhaps summer. I expect chipmunks (Tamias striatus) and red-backed voles to occur at constant but low rates in predator diets. I predict that various species of soft mast may occur during their respective fruiting seasons. Deer were the most frequently occurring food item of coyotes …

Forest disturbance, mosquito vector ecology and La Crosse virus dynamics in southwestern Virginia
The influence of forest canopy disturbance (FCD) on La Crosse virus (LACV), leading cause of US pediatric arboviral encephalitis, is critical to understand in landscapes where forests are periodically harvested. Southwestern Virginia is part of an emerging focus of this interior forest bunyavirus. …
