new zealand had no land mammals other than the lesser short - tailed bat ( mystacina tuberculata ) prior to human occupation , and the house mouse is one of many species that have been introduced . mice are responsible for a reduction in native bird species since they eat some of the same foods as birds . they are also known to kill lizards and have a large effect on native insects .

house mice can sometimes transmit diseases , contaminate food , and damage food packaging . although the us centers for disease control and prevention gives a list with diseases transmitted by rodents , [ 62 ] only few of the diseases are transmitted through the house mouse .

in open areas such as shrubs and fields , the house mouse population is known as noncommensal . these populations are often limited by water or food supply and have large territories . [ 25 ] female - female aggression in the noncommensal house mouse populations is much higher , reaching a level generally attributed to free - ranging species . male aggression is also higher in noncommensal populations . in commensal populations , males come into contact with other males quite frequently due to high population densities and aggression must be mediated or the risk of injury becomes too great .

the social behaviour of the house mouse is not rigidly fixed into species - specific patterns but is instead adaptable to the environmental conditions , such as the availability of food and space . [ 24 ] [ 25 ] this adaptability allows house mice to inhabit diverse areas ranging from sandy dunes to apartment buildings . [ 24 ]

many studies have been done on mouse phylogenies to reconstruct early human movements . for example , one study suggests the possibility of a previously unsuspected early link between northern europe and madeira on the basis of the origin of madeiran mice . [ 59 ] house mice were thought to be the primary reason for the taming of the domestic cat .
intrauterine insemination causes an evolutionary consequence resulting from polyandrous behavior . [ 53 ] when multiple males mate with one female , there are multiple sets of sperm gametes in a female mouse . offspring fertilized by multiple females can compete more strongly for mother ' s resources and can lead to a decrease in body size and variation in body size . [ 53 ]
house mice usually live less than one year in the wild , due to a high level of predation and exposure to harsh environments . in protected environments , however , they often live two to three years . the methuselah mouse prize is a competition to breed or engineer extremely long - lived laboratory mice . as of 2005 [ update ] , the record holder was a genetically engineered mouse that lived for 1 , 819 days ( 4 years , 358 days ) . [ 54 ] another record holder that was kept in an enriched environment but did not receive any genetic , pharmacological , or dietary treatment lived for 1 , 551 days ( 4 years , 90 days ) . [ 55 ] [ 56 ]
both commensal and noncommensal house mouse males aggressively defend their territory and act to exclude all intruders . males mark their territory by scent marking with urine . in marked territories , intruders showed significantly lower aggression than the territory residents . [ 25 ] house mice show a male - biased dispersal ; males generally leave their birth sites and migrate to form new territories whereas females generally stay and are opportunistic breeders rather than seasonal . [ 29 ]
the first written reference to mice kept as pets occurs in the erya , the oldest extant chinese dictionary , from a mention in an 1100 bc version . [ 60 ] human domestication led to numerous strains of
fancy
or hobby mice with a variety of colours and a docile temperament . [ 61 ] domestic varieties of the house mouse are bred as a food source for some carnivorous pet reptiles , birds , arthropods , and fish . [ 61 ]
both evolutionary and behavioral consequences result from the polygamous nature of the house mouse . one consequence is the paternal investment , which is lower in polygamous mice than in mice that are monogamous . [ 44 ] this occurs due to the fact that males spend more time involved in sexual competition than do females , leaving less time for paternal care . [ 44 ] polygamous male house mice spend less time alone with pups . [ 44 ] they are also less likely and slower to retrieve lost pups than males of monogamous mice . [ 44 ] in contrast , the maternal investment is similar between female mice that have mated once versus multiply . [ 44 ]
rickettsialpox , caused by the bacterium rickettsia akari and similar to chickenpox , is spread by mice in general , but is very rare and generally mild and resolves within 2–3 weeks if untreated . no known deaths have resulted from the disease . murine typhus ( also called endemic typhus ) is caused by the bacterium rickettsia typhi , and is transmitted by the fleas that infest rats . while rat fleas are the most common vectors , cat fleas and mouse fleas are less common modes of transmission . [ 69 ] endemic typhus is highly treatable with antibiotics . the us cdc currently does not mention rickettsialpox or murine typhus on its website about diseases directly transmitted by rodents ( in general ) [ 62 ]
following copulation , female mice will normally develop a copulation plug which prevents further copulation . the plug is not necessary for pregnancy initiation , as this will also occur without the plug . the presence or absence of the plug will not affect litter size either . [ 40 ] this plug stays in place for some 24 hours . the gestation period is about 19–21 days , and they give birth to a litter of 3–14 young ( average six to eight ) . one female can have 5 to 10 litters per year , so the mouse population can increase very quickly . breeding occurs throughout the year . ( however , animals living in the wild do not reproduce in the colder months , even though they do not hibernate . )

initial sequencing and comparative analysis of the mouse genome
.
house mice have two forms of social behaviour , the expression of which depends on the environmental context . house mice in buildings and other urbanized areas with close proximity to humans are known as commensal . [ 24 ] commensal mice populations often have an excessive food source resulting in high population densities and small home ranges . this causes a switch from territorial behaviour to a hierarchy of individuals . [ 24 ] [ 26 ] when populations have an excess of food , there is less female - female aggression , which usually occurs to gain access to food or to prevent infanticide . [ 24 ] male - male aggression occurs in commensal populations , mainly to defend female mates and protect a small territory . [ 24 ] [ 25 ] the high level of male - male aggression , with a low female - female aggression level is common in polygamous populations . [ 27 ] the social unit of commensal house mouse populations generally consists of one male and two or more females , usually related . [ 27 ] [ 28 ] these groups breed cooperatively , with the females communally nursing . this cooperative breeding and rearing by related females helps increase reproductive success . when no related females are present , breeding groups can form from non - related females .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
this species is highly distinct genetically , but morphologically very similar to m . cervicolor , therefore , this species is probably much more widespread , as some specimens are hidden within m . cervicolor ( musser and carleton 2005 ) .
justification : listed as least concern as it seems like a very adaptable and common species at two sites , and has no known threats .
this species is known from localities in nahkon ratchasima ( khorat ) province in south central thailand : the type locality , ban nong sanga ( 14°32 ' 33 ' ' n , 101°57 ' 44 ' ' e ) , and tumbon , both 50 km sse from the town of khorat ( auffray et al . 2003 , musser and carleton 2005 ) . the species has been recorded in the loei forest in thailand ( chaisiri et al . 2012 ) . it has also been recorded from lamam , sekong province , in lao pdr ( k . aplin pers . comm . ) .
it was found in dry grass and patches of pygmy bamboo along roadsides or dikes bordering dry rice fields ( musser and carleton 2005 ) . it has been recorded in sympatry with m . cervicolor , and m . caroli were also found .
it is not known from any protected areas . further survey work is needed to determine whether or not it is widespread through the region .

with around 711 species , this is the largest family of rodents and mammals . they are native to africa , europe , asia , and australia , but they have been introduced around the world and today are found in all parts of the world , except for antarctica .
they are found in all types of habitats including swamps , grasslands , tundra , deciduous forests , coniferous forests , rainforests , deserts , wetlands , mountains , and suburban , and urban areas .
many species in this family have small bodies , long tails , round ears , round eyes , and pointed noses with whiskers . in most species in this family , females give birth to large litters of between 6 - 13 young . females usually have more than one litter a year and the young are ready to mate when they are a month or two old . because they are prey for other animals , most species in this family only live for a year or two in the wild .
some species are nocturnal ; some are active in the day . some species live in trees , while others are ground dwellers and others live in underground burrows . some species are herbivores , others are carnivores , and some are omnivores .
least concern near threatened vulnerable endangered critically endangered extinct in wild extinct status and range is taken from icun redlist . if no status is listed , there is not enough data to establish status .

newborn males and females can be distinguished on close examination as the anogenital distance in males is about double that of the female . [ 9 ] from the age of about 10 days , females have five pairs of mammary glands and nipples ; males have no nipples . [ 10 ] when sexually mature , the most striking and obvious difference is the presence of testicles on the males . these are large compared to the rest of the body and can be retracted into the body .
in addition to the regular pea - sized thymus organ in the chest , house mice have a second functional pinhead - sized thymus organ in the neck next to the trachea . [ 16 ]
mice are mammals of the glires clade , which means they are amongst the closest relatives of humans other than lagomorphs , treeshrews , flying lemurs and other primates .
house mice usually run , walk , or stand on all fours , but when eating , fighting , or orienting themselves , they rear up on their hind legs with additional support from the tail - a behaviour known as
tripoding
. mice are good jumpers , climbers , and swimmers , and are generally considered to be
they live in a wide variety of hidden places near food sources , and construct nests from various soft materials . mice are territorial , and one dominant male usually lives together with several females and young . dominant males respect each other ' s territories and normally enter another ' s territory only if it is vacant . if two or more males are housed together in a cage , they often become aggressive unless they have been raised together from birth .
mice are generally afraid of rats which often kill and eat them , a behavior known as muricide . despite this , free - living populations of rats and mice do exist together in forest areas in new zealand , north america , and elsewhere . house mice are generally poor competitors and in most areas cannot survive away from human settlements in areas where other small mammals , such as wood mice , are present . [ 22 ] however , in some areas ( such as australia ) , mice are able to coexist with other small rodent species . [ 23 ]
house mice also rely on pheromones for social communication , some of which are produced by the preputial glands of both sexes . the tear fluid and urine of male mice also contains pheromones , such as major urinary proteins . [ 34 ] [ 35 ] mice detect pheromones mainly with the vomeronasal organ ( jacobson ' s organ ) , located at the bottom of the nose .
the urine of house mice , especially that of males , has a characteristic strong odor . at least 10 different compounds , such as alkanes , alcohols , etc . , are detectable in the urine . among them , five compounds are specific to males , namely 3 - cyclohexene - 1 - methanol , aminotriazole ( 3 - amino - s - triazole ) , 4 - ethyl phenol , 3 - ethyl - 2 , 7 - dimethyl octane and 1 - iodoundecane . [ 36 ]
odours from adult males or from pregnant or lactating females can speed up or retard sexual maturation in juvenile females and synchronise reproductive cycles in mature females ( i . e . the whitten effect ) . odours of unfamiliar male mice may terminate pregnancies , i . e . the bruce effect .
mice can sense surfaces and air movements with their whiskers which are also used during thigmotaxis . if mice are blind from birth , super - normal growth of the vibrissae occurs presumably as a compensatory response , [ 37 ] or if the vibrissae are absent , the use of vision is intensified . [ 38 ]
female house mice have an estrous cycle about four to six days long , with estrus itself lasting less than a day . if several females are held together under crowded conditions , they will often not have an estrus at all . if they are then exposed to male urine , they will come into estrus after 72 hours .
range . the calls are most frequent during courtship when the male is sniffing and following the female ; however , the calls continue after mating has begun , at which time the calls are coincident with mounting behaviour . males can be induced to emit these calls by female pheromones . the vocalizations appear to differ between individuals and have been compared to
while females have the capability to produce ultrasonic calls , they typically do not do so during mating behaviour .
the pups are born blind and without fur or ears . the ears are fully developed by the fourth day , fur begins to appear at about six days and the eyes open around 13 days after birth ; the pups are weaned at around 21 days . females reach sexual maturity at about six weeks of age and males at about eight weeks , but both can copulate as early as five weeks . if the infants live in high temperatured area from birth , they will become less - haired . [ 41 ]
although house mice can be either monogamous or polygamous , they are most commonly polygamous . they generally show characteristics of mate - defense polygyny in that males are highly territorial and protective of their mates , while females are less agonistic . [ 42 ] the communal nursing groups that result from these behaviors lead to lower numbers of infanticide since more females are able to protect greater numbers of offspring . [ 43 ]
the polygamous behavior of female house mice promotes sperm competition , which affects both male and female evolutionary fitness . [ 45 ] females who mate with multiple males tend to produce both pups in greater numbers , [ 45 ] and with higher survival rates , [ 46 ] increasing female fitness . sperm competition that arises from polygamy favors males with faster , more motile sperm in higher numbers , increasing male fitness . [ 45 ] the competitive aspect of insemination increases the frequency of polyandrous events and fertilizations . polyandry has evolved to increase reproductive success . [ 47 ] male mating behavior is also affected in response to the practice of polygamous behavior . compared to monogamous house mice , polygamous house mice mate for longer periods of time . [ 48 ] this behaviour allows for an increase in both the transfer of sperm and paternity success , which in turn increases male fitness . [ 48 ]
as opposed to polygamy , polyandrous behavior in females is the act of breeding with several males in the same season . [ 49 ] variation in number of males that females mate with occurs among a population . polyandrous behavior is a common mating pattern in species of mus musculus musculus as well as the relative mus musculus domesticus . [ 49 ]
polyandry occurs in 30 % of all wild populations of house mice . [ 50 ] litters from multiple sires tend to be more genetically diverse than litters of single sires . [ 49 ] multiple paternity is also more common in larger populations than smaller populations , because there is a larger number of mates and more diverse mates to choose from . [ 50 ] within a population , males and females show different levels of multiple mating . females show bias toward unrelated males rather than related males during sexual selection , resulting in more genetically diverse offspring and a reduction of inbreeding depression . [ 51 ] inbreeding depression increases genetic incompatibilities , levels of homozygosity , and the chance of deleterious recessive alleles . [ 51 ] polyandry has been shown to increase offspring survival compared to monandry .
the fitness of females increases in polyandrous lines due to more genetic diversity and greater litter size . [ 45 ]
due to polyandry , males can be confused by the identity of new offspring . [ 52 ] multiple mating by females and paternity confusion can decrease rates of infanticide . [ 52 ] if the males are uncertain if the offspring are theirs , they are less likely to kill the offspring . [ 52 ]
house mice usually live in proximity to humans , in or around houses or fields . originally native to asia ( probably northern india ) , [ 57 ] they spread to the mediterranean basin about 8000 bc , only spreading into the rest of europe around 1000 bc . [ 58 ] this time lag is thought to be because the mice require agrarian human settlements above a certain size . [ 58 ] they have since been spread to all parts of the globe by humans .
lymphocytic choriomeningitis ( lcmv ) can be transmitted by mice , but is not a commonly reported infection in humans , though most infections are mild and are often never diagnosed . [ 63 ] [ 64 ] [ 65 ] some concern exists that women should not to be infected with lcmv during pregnancy . [ 66 ] [ 67 ]
house mice are not usually a vector of human plague ( bubonic plague ) because they have less infestations with fleas than do rats , and because the fleas which house mice normally carry exhibit little tendency to bite humans rather than their natural host . [ 68 ]
leptospirosis is carried by a variety of wild and domestic animals including dogs , rats , swine , cattle , mice in general , and can be transmitted by the urine of an infected animal and is contagious as long as the urine is still moist . [ 70 ]
according to recent research on the hygiene hypothesis , children who are exposed at a young age to specific allergens , feces , dander , and bacteria from ( among others ) cockroaches , mice , and cats are less likely to develop asthma and allergies later in life . [ 71 ]
mice have become an invasive species on islands to where they have spread during the period of european exploration and colonisation .
gough island in the south atlantic is used by 20 species of seabirds for breeding , including almost all of the world ' s tristan albatross ( diomedea dabbenena ) and atlantic petrel ( pterodroma incerta ) . until house mice arrived on the island in the 19th century with sailors , the birds did not have any mammalian predators . the mice have since grown unusually large and have learned to attack albatross chicks , which can be nearly 1 m tall , but are largely immobile , by working in groups and gnawing on them until they bleed to death . [ 73 ]
in the grain belt of south - eastern australia , the introduced species mus domesticus breed so successfully , every three years or so they reach plague proportions , achieving densities of 1000 per hectare and causing massive disruption to communities , and losses to agriculture of a $ 36 million annually .

crafty lace ( foaled march 11 , 1959 in ontario ) was a thoroughbred racehorse who was voted canadian horse of the year in 1962 .

crafty lace was bred by frank c. conklin at his conklin farms in brantford , ontario .

he was sired by crafty admiral , the 1952 american champion older male horse .

his dam was french lace whose sire , blue swords , was a very good runner who finished second to count fleet in the 1943 kentucky derby and preakness stakes .

on september 18 , 1962 , crafty lace was claimed for $ 7500 by trainer john mooney for buffalo , new york businessman jeremy jacobs .

the horse ran second his first time out under mooney 's care then won four races in a row and set a woodbine racetrack record for a mile and a sixteenth on dirt .

in his most important win crafty lace was ridden by ron turcotte to a victory in the breeders ' stakes , the third leg of the canadian triple crown series that is raced on turf .

when the historic hopkins ferry is raised from the lake , a skeleton is discovered . unfortunately , the only evidence is a piece of lace - like fabric . but once betsy devonshire and the patrons of her needlecraft shop lend a hand , they’re sure to stitch together the details of this mystery…
one of the things that i love most when reading a crafting - related cozy mystery is when crafts are actually part of the clues and overall strategy for solving the murder , and this book does a particularly nice job of weaving needlework and lacemaking into the storyline while still building a believable plot . unfortunately , because ferris created a story with so many crafty connections and characters connected through crafts , it’s almost impossible for me to comment on the story further without stumbling over spoilers left and right .
i really appreciated the thorough - but - not boring descriptions of the handknits , lace , and needlework throughout . ferris always managed to include the relavant detail while making those passages sound and feel as natural as a friend at my local yarn shop telling me about a gorgeous sweater she spotted at a craft fair—just the right balance of information and enthusiasm .

the focus on alice’s appearance got old fast . yes , yes , we get it . she’s a tall lady with broad shoulders .
the writing got repetitive in a few places , with explanations being given multiple times using the same words . it’s nothing a little more editing couldn’t fix , but it was sometimes a bit distracting .
even though , thanks to some pretty heavy - handed hints , i’d definitely figured out who the murderer was early on , i still really enjoyed the book , and found it to be a fun and engaging story . as i said in my review for the first book , i really like the characters in and around the crewel world shop , so solving the mystery early didn’t put that much of a damper on my reading pleasure !
in addition to the story , the book also included some great tools that the crafters reading will be able to put to good use in future projects . mixed into the action , there were handy tips like instructions for removing colors that run in needlework . and , like in the previous book , there was also a nice detailed breakdown for pricing handmade items—here , specifically needlework—reinforcing the importance of getting paid fairly , and clearly illustrating why handmade goods are often so expensive . ( this book was definitely way ahead of its time when it included that information , and , even nearly 20 years removed , it’s nice to see the value of handmade items so clearly expressed ! )

the reptile database is a taxonomic database that provides basic information about all living reptile species , such as turtles , snakes , lizards , and crocodiles , as well as tuataras and amphisbaenians , but does not include dinosaurs .
currently there are more than 10 , 000 species and an additional 2 , 700 subspecies . this is making reptiles the largest vertebrate group after fish ( ~ 25 , 000 species ) and birds ( ~ 10 , 000 species ) , and significantly larger than mammals ( ~ 5 , 000 species ) or amphibians ( ~ 6 , 000 species ) .
the reptile database provides taxonomic information for the catalogue of life and the encyclopedia of life . our taxonomic information has also been used by genbank and many other resources and is the only comprehensive reptile database on the web .
the reptile database can be used to find all species within a certain geographic area ( e . g . all snakes of egypt ) . its collection of more than 2 , 500 images allow users to identify a species or at least get an idea how the species or genus may look like . more than 30 , 000 references provide a guide to further information .

i think our ugandan guide was first really sure he had a lunatic on his hands when i made him back up the jeep so i could take a picture of this lizard on a tree trunk near the road . it wasn ' t a particularly large or beautiful or probably even rare lizard , but it was one i hadn ' t seen .

scientists aim to describe a single ' tree of life ' that reflects the evolutionary relationships of living things . however , evolutionary relationships are a matter of ongoing discovery , and there are different opinions about how living things should be grouped and named . eol reflects these differences by supporting several different scientific ' classifications ' . some species have been named more than once . such duplicates are listed under synonyms . eol also provides support for common names which may vary across regions as well as languages .
