| new host and locality records of coccidia (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from rodents in the southwestern and western united states. | one hundred forty-seven murid and heteromyid rodents were collected from various sites in the southwestern and western united states (arizona, colorado, new mexico, texas, and utah) and baja california norte, mexico, and their feces were examined for coccidial parasites. of these, 53 (36%) were infected with at least 1 coccidian; 45 of 53 (85%) of the infected rodents harbored only 1 species of coccidian. infected rodents included: 10 of 22 (45%) neotoma albigula, 3 of 11 (27%) neotoma floridana ... | 1991 | 1779282 |

| anthropogenic water sources and the effects on sonoran desert small mammal communities. | anthropogenic water sources (aws) are developed water sources used as a management tool for desert wildlife species. studies documenting the effects of aws are often focused on game species; whereas, the effects on non-target wildlife are less understood. we used live trapping techniques to investigate rodent abundance, biomass, and diversity metrics near aws and paired control sites; we sampled vegetation to determine rodent-habitat associations in the sauceda mountains of the sonoran desert in ... | 2017 | 29134147 |
| can we predict the success of a parasite to colonise an invasive host? | to understand whether a parasite can exploit a novel invasive host species, we measured reproductive performance (number of eggs per female per day, egg size, development rate and size of new imagoes) of fleas from the negev desert in israel (two host generalists, synosternus cleopatrae and xenopsylla ramesis, and a host specialist, parapulex chephrenis) when they exploited either a local murid host (gerbillus andersoni, meriones crassus and acomys cahirinus) or two alien hosts (north american h ... | 2018 | 29797081 |
| assessment of mercury concentrations in small mammals collected near las vegas, nevada, usa. | mercury concentrations in liver and hair tissue were determined for five species of small mammals captured near las vegas, nevada, usa. these data were then used to evaluate the suitability of using hair as a noninvasive technique for determining body burdens of mercury. a total of 104 small mammals were captured and analyzed; four main species were examined and included: dipodomys merriami, chaetodipus penicillatus, peromyscus eremicus, and neotoma lepida. mean mercury concentrations were highe ... | 2006 | 17091502 |

| temporal changes in species composition affect a ubiquitous species' use of habitat patches. | across landscapes, shifts in species composition often co-occur with shifts in structural or abiotic habitat features, making it difficult to disentangle the role of competitors and environment on assessments of patch quality. using over two decades of rodent community data from a long-term experiment, we show that a small, ubiquitous granivore (chaetodipus penicillatus) shifted its use of different experimental treatments with the establishment of a novel competitor, c. baileyi. shifts in resid ... | 2019 | 31454069 |
