Grey Flesh Fly (Wohlfahrtia vigil) Parasitism of a Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei)

Grey flesh fly (Wohlfahrtia vigil) parasitism of a Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei).

A Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei) parasitized by five grey flesh fly (Wohlfahrtia vigil) larvae was discovered at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado (USA), in June 1998. This is the first documented case of grey flesh fly parasitism of jumping mice (Family Dipodidae). The lesion was approximately 6 mm wide and was partially hidden under a m...

Using a temporal symmetry model to assess population change and recruitment in the Preble’s meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei)

The Preble’s meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei [PMJM]) is a rare rodent of southeastern Wyoming and central Colorado that has been the center of debates regarding subspecies’ genetic identity and the application of the Endangered Species Act. I analyzed a 7-year PMJM mark–recapture data set using a temporal symmetry model (Pradel model) to estimate apparent survival (u), recruitment...

POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF PESTICIDE APPLICATIONS ON PREBLE’S MEADOW JUMPING MOUSE (Zapus hudsonius preblei) AND MOUNTAIN PLOVER (Charadrius montanus) IN SOUTHEAST WYOMING

Variation in phenology of hibernation and reproduction in the endangered New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius luteus)

Hibernation is a key life history feature that can impact many other crucial aspects of a species' biology, such as its survival and reproduction. I examined the timing of hibernation and reproduction in the federally endangered New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius luteus), which occurs across a broad range of latitudes and elevations in the American Southwest. Data from museum spec...

Glycolysis and energetics in organs of hibernating mice (Zapus hudsonius)

Hibernation-induced changes in the concentrations of glycolytic intermediates, creatine phosphate, and adenylates were monitored in brain and skeletal muscle of the meadow jumping mouse, Zapus hudsonius, after both short (24 h) and long (5 -7 d) periods of hibernation. Levels of hexose phosphates were greatly reduced in both organs after 24 h of hibernation, suggesting strong suppression of car...
