Home Range and Microchabitat Utilization in the Formosan Wood Mouse, Apodemus semotus

Draft genome sequence of Japanese wood mouse, Apodemus speciosus

The wood mouse (genus Apodemus) is one of the most common rodents in broad-leaf forests in the temperate zone of the Palaearctic region. Molecular studies of wood mice have critically enhanced the understanding of their evolution and ancestral biogeographic events. However, their molecular data are currently only limited to partial mitochondrial sequences and a few genes. Therefore, we sequence...

Microsatellite markers in wood mouse and striped field mouse (genus Apodemus).

To study possible effects of radiation and chemical pollutants on native rodents in highly polluted sites of the former Soviet Union we developed a system of microsatellite markers in mice (Apodemus). Microsatellites can provide information on mutation rate and population structure of the affected animals. Dubrova et al. (1996) reported that mutation rates at minisatel-lite loci in humans who l...

High prevalence of the digenean Plagiorchis sp . in the wood mouse Apodemus

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Ultrastructure and histochemistry of the submandibular gland of the Japanese wood mouse (Apodemus ainu ainu Tokuda).

The submandibular glands of adult female and male Japanese wood mice (Apodemus ainu ainu Tokuda) were studied histochemically using toluidine blue (pH 2.5, 4.1 and 7.0, McIlvaine), PAS reaction, Millon's reaction for tyrosine, p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde for tryptophan, and substrate film techniques for amylase and protease. The glands were also examined ultrastructurally and ultracytochemicall...
