| on the occurrence of microsporum persicolor in montreal, canada. | a case of microsporum persicolor skin infection in a casual employee of a veterinary clinic in montreal, quebec, canada, is reported. a survey of 80 wild rodents in the montreal area resulted in the isolation of m. persicolor from two voles (clethrionomys gapperi) and one deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus). one of the voles, heavily infested with parasites including ticks, had obvious lesions on the nose. this is the first report of m. persicolor in rodents in north america. | 1978 | 714147 |
| microsatellite markers reveal low frequency of natural hybridization between the white-footed mouse (peromyscus leucopus) and deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus) in southern quebec, canada. | in some parts of southern quebec, two closely related rodent species - the white-footed mouse (peromyscus leucopus) and the deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus) - have recently come in contact because of climate-driven changes in the distribution of the former. both species share similar morphology, ecology, and life history traits, which suggests that natural hybridization may be possible. hybridization among these two species can have important implications on the ecological roles these rodents ... | 2017 | 28177836 |
| admixture on the northern front: population genomics of range expansion in the white-footed mouse (peromyscus leucopus) and secondary contact with the deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus). | range expansion has genetic consequences expected to result in differentiated wave-front populations with low genetic variation and potentially introgression from a local species. the northern expansion of peromyscus leucopus in southern quebec provides an opportunity to test these predictions using population genomic tools. our results show evidence of recent and post-glacial expansion. genome-wide variation in p. leucopus indicates two post-glacial lineages are separated by the st. lawrence ri ... | 2017 | 28902189 |
