Pilfering personalities: Effects of small mammal personality on cache pilferage https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2656.14059

"small mammal personality determines the effectiveness of pilferage in #mice and #voles, with some individuals being more successful at stealing seeds than others. The most accomplished thieves: #DeerMice... skinnier #animals & female voles were more likely to pilfer."

Furry thieves are running loose in a Maine forest, research shows

Scattered across the Penobscot Experimental Forest are veritable treasure troves for its denizens, each containing riches beyond comprehension. These caches do not contain gold or jewels—they're filled with eastern white pine seeds and were placed by a team of researchers at the University of Maine for one purpose: to catch furry thieves red-handed.

What deer mice can tell us about high-elevation pregnancies and fetal growth

Biologist Kate Wilsterman is amazed by pregnancy. This essential mammalian life process is both complicated and dynamic: In addition to creating the next generation, pregnancy requires changes in nearly every organ of the gestational parent; dramatic changes in physiology; and perhaps most impressively, the growth of an entire organ (the placenta) using cells from two different individuals.
