Carbonic anhydrase polymorphism in a New Jersey population of the white-footed mouse Peromyscus leucopus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two electrophoretic forms of erythrocytic carbonic anhydrase were found to be controlled by one autosomal locus with two codominant alleles, CA(f) and CA(8). The gene frequencies for the CA(f) and CA(8) alleles were found to be.15 and.85, respectively, in a sample of 53 mice from Middlesex County, New Jersey. The observed genotypic frequencies indicated that the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Urbanization shapes the demographic history of a native rodent (the white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus) in New York City.
How urbanization shapes population genomic diversity and evolution of urban wildlife is largely unexplored. We investigated the impact of urbanization on white-footed mice,Peromyscus leucopus,in the New York City (NYC) metropolitan area using coalescent-based simulations to infer demographic history from the site-frequency spectrum. We assigned individuals to evolutionary clusters and then infe...
متن کاملRapid, pervasive genetic differentiation of urban white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) populations in New York City.
We investigated genetic diversity and structure of urban white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus, populations in New York City (NYC) using variation at 18 microsatellite loci. White-footed mice are 'urban adapters' that occur at higher population densities as habitat fragments are reduced in area but have a limited ability to disperse through urbanized areas. We hypothesized that this combinati...
متن کاملPoleward Expansion of the White-Footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) under Climate Change: Implications for the Spread of Lyme Disease
The white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) is an important reservoir host for Borrelia burgdorferi, the pathogen responsible for Lyme disease, and its distribution is expanding northward. We used an Ecological Niche Factor Analysis to identify the climatic factors associated with the distribution shift of the white-footed mouse over the last 30 years at the northern edge of its range, and mod...
متن کاملIsolation of the etiologic agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis from the white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus).
We examined white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) from Minnesota for infection with the etiologic agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). From April to September 1997, we collected P. leucopus from Washington County, Minnesota, an area enzootic for HGE. Blood was cultivated in HL60 cells for isolation of the HGE agent. Of 59 mice examined, only a single mouse was culture positive for ...
متن کاملEffect of Direct and Indirect Cues of Predation Risk on the Foraging Behavior of the White-footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus)
Understanding predator-prey dynamics requires an understanding of how prey assess predation risk. This study tested the effect of microhabitat, moon stages, and mammalian predator urines (Vulpes vulpes [Red Fox], Mustela vison [Mink], and Procyon lotor [Raccoon]) on the degree of predation risk perceived by Peromyscus leucopus (White-footed Mouse). Giving-up densities from artifi cial food patc...
