Scatter-hoarding rodents store seeds throughout their home ranges in superficially buried caches which,unlike seeds larder-hoarded in burrows,are difficult to defend.Cached seeds are often pilfered by other scatter-ho...
Biosphere reserves are protected areas whose purpose is to combine conservation and sustainable development.However,their effectiveness has not been tested sufficiently,especially from an ecological and genetic appro...
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) congeners were measured in (unwashed) whole-body field (deer) mice (Peromyscus maniculaltus) collected directly upgradient from a sediment retention structure (weir) within Los Alamos C...
Mycophagists can influence fungal diversity within their home ranges by ensuring the continued and effective dispersal of spores from one site to another. However, the passage of spores through the digestive tract of ...

We quantified microhabitat use by white-footed mice Peromyscus leucopus in forest and old-field habitats occupied by Morrow' s honeysuckle Lonicera morrowii, an invasive exotic shrub imported from Japan. Microhabitat...
In this paper we review and integrate key aspects of behavioral and life history traits, food supply and populationdynamics of the white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus), a species that is abundant and widely distri...
No-till farming is an important approach to sustainable agriculture because it can conserve soil and water resources.Unfortunately, rodent populations can thrive under no-till conditions because burrow systems are not...
