Community Science: Big Insights From Small Mammal Data
Community science databases can support biodiversity surveys, especially for easily identifiable species, but they are less effective for rare or cryptic species. In a study of small mammals in Ontar....

Another pre-print from our lab in collaboration with Cathy Cullingham at Carleton University. We identify SNPs associated with rodenticide resistance in house mice in Canada. Environmental Correlates for Anticoagulant Resistance in house mice Mus musculus www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Looking for an MSc student to start in Sept 2026 with possible summer employment this May. We're looking for a student to apply stable isotopes to a small mammal community to test hypotheses related to variation in diet among species and habitats. Please DM if you or anyone you know are interested.

Behavioural traits such as exploration may, in part, facilitate coexistence across sympatric rodents. For example, deer mice are consistently more explorative than co-occurring red-backed voles and woodland jumping mice! track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...

Exploration and docility in coexisting rodents
Abstract. There is increasing interest in understanding how behaviour influences trade-offs that facilitate species coexistence. In the absence of spatiote

There is an unfortunate error in this newly published @globalchangebio.bsky.social paper. The caption for this image reads "upper panel with dragon icon symbolising all tetrapod" but this is incorrect. That is either a wyvern (with two wings and two legs) or it is not a tetrapod (6 limbs).
A graph depicting five panels with downward trends in suitable habitat area by year, with symbols indicating that each panel represents reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and birds. The symbol, in the top panel is a dragon.

Accepted for publication: "Traffic reduction during Covid-19 lockdowns benefited species already tolerant of noise pollution: an acoustic analysis." Our newest paper, led by PhD student Pedro Santos, Gonçalo Cardoso, and Nicola Koper, is coming in 2026 to The American Naturalist. Congrats Pedro!

New paper out in Behaviour. We evaluated behavioural and physiological differences between sexes in two species of rodent (deer mice and red-backed voles). For these income-breeding rodents, reproductive stage only explains some of these differences. brill.com/view/journal...

Stop by our booth at #CSEE2025 this week to pick up a postcard, pen, or sticker and ask us about publishing in CJZ. Are you a postdoc or first-year faculty? We're also seeking applications to the new ECR Editorial Board in development at the journal!
