Seasonal dispersal tendencies of sylvan deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) with montana rangelands
We examined seasonal dispersal habits of sylvan deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) within two Montana rangeland types over a three - year period. The rangeland types included a grassland and shrub-steppe habitat. Within the state of Montana, both habitat types commonly contain peridomestic settings …

Indirect effects between deer, mice, and the gypsy moth in a forest community
White-tailed deer are ecosystem engineers that dramatically alter forest understory vegetation. Consequently, deer can impact many species in a forest through both direct and indirect effects. One species that deer may indirectly affect is the gypsy moth, whose pupae are preyed upon by the …

Growth and developmental effects of exposure to ammonium perchlorate during gestation, lactation, and post-lactation in deer mice
… in two consecutive litters of developing deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) following in utero and lactational exposure to ammonium perchlorate (AP), a thyroid toxicant. Breeding pairs were dosed continuously wUh either 0, 1 nM, 1 liM, or 1 mM concentrations of AP in drinking water, from …

Causes and consequences of the postfire increase in deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) abundance
<p>Wildfire triggers an increase in deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) abundance. Here, I describe this phenomenon, investigate its causes, and explore the consequences of the postfire increase in mice for conifer recruitment in burned forest. I documented a shift in small mammal communities away …

Influence of synthetic mustelid semiochemicals on population dynamics of the deer mouse
… study I investigated population changes in the deermouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) in the southwestern part of the Morice Forest District of the Prince Rupert Forest Region of British Columbia. I tested the hypothesis that synthetic weasel odours would adversely affect deer mouse population …

Small mammal demographics in North Dakota conservation reserve program plantings
… small mammals were captured on CRP tracts, with deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) comprising 92% of all small mammals recorded. Largest deer mouse populations (64/ha .and 51/ha) occurred in late August and early September, 1990. Peak densities in 1990 were over twice as high as those of 1989. …

Using Resident Small Mammals to Assess the Habitat Potential of Experimental Biofuels Feedstocks
… This study assessed the effects of feedstocks on deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) home ranges and survival, and compared the small mammal diversity among feedstocks. Small mammals were live-captured across the experimental landscape for 7 months in 2011 and 6 months in 2012 following Pollock’s …

The Effects of Three Rodenticides on Nontarget Small Mammals and Invertebrates
… significant ( a < 0.10) immediate impacts on deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) relative densities. Increases of deer mice densities occurred in 1984 on sites that had been treated with the 2 strychnine treatments. These long-term increases in deer mice densities were due to habitat change …

The effects of a silvicultural sludge application on small mammal populations and the potential of Giardia contamination in a forest ecosystem
… was also investigated. Populations of the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), 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 …

Small Mammals in Prairie Wetlands: Habitat Use and the Effects of Wetland Modifications
… small mammal in prairie wetlands, followed by deer mice (Peromyscus spp.), masked shrews (Sorex cinereous), meadow jumping mice (Zapus hudsonius) and northern short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda). Deer mine were more common in modified habitats within wetland basins than in undisturbed …

Are black bears (Ursus americanus) effective seed dispersal agents? With a little help from their friends.
… radionuclide, to track seeds, I determined that deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) removed seeds from bear feces and cached them in soil. These seeds escaped several sources of mortality by being moved to relatively safe locations. A field germination study confirmed that caching can benefit …

Influence of Vegetation On The Distribution of Small Mammals On A Waterfowl Production Area
… Meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanious), and deer mice (Peronyscus maniculatus) were captured most frequently. Jumping ice (Zapus hudsonius), masked shrews (Sorex cinerius), short tailed shrews (Blarins brevicauda), grasshopper mice (Omychomys leucogaster) and house mice (Mis musculus) were …

Evolution in the Cornbelt : how a few special species are adapting to industrial agriculture
… swallows, western corn rootworms, and prairie deer mice-that natural selection has reshaped to thrive in the new agricultural landscape. With his finches, Charles Darwin read the record of evolution in the past. In the Corn Belt, today's scientists can see evolution in real time.

Seed Dispersal of Wild Peony (Paeonia brownii): as seed in the pouch is worth two in the pod
… results indicate that yellow pine chipmunks, deer mice, and long-eared chipmunks are potential dispersers in Jeffrey pine forest habitat and Great Basin pocket mice, Panamint kangaroo rats, and deer mice are potential dispersers in sagebrush scrub habitat. . In 2009, cache pilferage was …

Environmental Factors Affecting the Landscape-Scale Spatio-Temporal Distribution of Small Mammal Assemblages Across the Northern Great Plains of North America
… Cropland with clay soils was dominated by deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), whereas areas with higher proportions of native grassland and moderately sandy soils supported communities with more sagebrush voles (Lemmiscus curtatus). Areas with clay soils and higher annual precipitation were …
