چکیده
Peromyscus boylii (Baird, 1855), the brush deermouse, is a common cricetid rodent in the southwestern United States and Mexico. It is a member of the Peromyscus boylii species group and has had a complicated taxonomic history because many former subspecies have been elevated to species. It is a medium-sized Peromyscus with small ears and a long, slightly bicolored and slightly haired tail that ends in a tuft of long hairs. It prefers brushy habitat, showing an affinity for oak–scrub oak and canyon–creek bottoms. It is not of special conservation concern. DOI: 10.1644/838.1.

متن کاملHidden heterochromatin: Characterization in the Rodentia species Cricetus cricetus, Peromyscus eremicus (Cricetidae) and Praomys tullbergi (Muridae)
The use of in situ restriction endonuclease (RE) (which cleaves DNA at specific sequences) digestion has proven to be a useful technique in improving the dissection of constitutive heterochromatin (CH), and in the understanding of the CH evolution in different genomes. In the present work we describe in detail the CH of the three Rodentia species, Cricetus cricetus, Peromyscus eremicus (family ...

متن کاملNitric oxide production by Peromyscus yucatanicus (Rodentia) infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana.
Peromyscus yucatanicus (Rodentia: Cricetidae) is a primary reservoir of Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae). Nitric oxide (NO) generally plays a crucial role in the containment and elimination of Leishmania. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of NO produced by P. yucatanicus infected with L. (L.) mexicana. Subclinical and clinical infections were e...
متن کاملNiche Partitioning by Peromyscus californicus and Peromyscus boylii in Mixed Evergreen Forest
We used 126 Sherman live traps on a 9 by 14 grid at the University of California Santa Cruz Forest Ecology Research Plot (FERP) to look at small mammal diversity in a mixed evergreen forest. The ability for Peromyscus boylii and Peromyscus californicus to coexist in the same area is believed to be a form of niche partitioning at the canopy level. We used multivariate logistic regression to look...
