| arthropod vectors and vector-borne bacterial pathogens in yosemite national park. | ticks, fleas, and vector-borne pathogens were surveyed in diverse small mammals in yosemite national park, california, from 2005 to 2007. a total of 450 unique captures of small mammals was collected during a 3-yr period and yielded 16 species of fleas and 10 species of ticks, including known vectors of anaplasma phagocytophilum and borrelia burgdorferi and plague. serology was performed for a. phagocytophilum, spotted fever group rickettsia spp., b. burgdorferi, and yersinia pestis. a. phagocyt ... | 2011 | 21337955 |
| variation in phenology of hibernation and reproduction in the endangered new mexico meadow jumping mouse (zapus hudsonius luteus). | hibernation is a key life history feature that can impact many other crucial aspects of a species' biology, such as its survival and reproduction. i examined the timing of hibernation and reproduction in the federally endangered new mexico meadow jumping mouse (zapus hudsonius luteus), which occurs across a broad range of latitudes and elevations in the american southwest. data from museum specimens and field studies supported predictions for later emergence and shorter active intervals in monta ... | 2015 | 26290794 |
| body temperature, heart rate and oxygen consumption of normothermic and heterothermic western jumping mice (zapus princeps). | 1. heart rates and oxygen consumption were measured for normothermic, hibernating, and arousing zapus princeps. 2. rectal and oral body temperature were monitored and differential rates of rewarming of the body were recorded. 3. lengths of periodic arousals differ in two stages of hibernation; days 50-80 arousal durations were 12 hr, 43 min while days 140-210 were 10 hr, 28 min. 4. total energy budget of hibernation was calculated for a 295 day hibernation cycle based on the utilization of 18,02 ... | 1983 | 6132704 |
