Evolution of gene expression across brain regions in behaviorally divergent deer mice

A. Kautt, J. Chen, C. L. Lewarch, C. Hu, K. Turner, J.-M. Lassance, F. Baier, N. L. Bedford, A. Bendesky, H. E. Hoekstra

This study examines gene expression differences across brain regions in two deer mouse species and their hybrids, finding widespread interspecific variation and regional modularity in gene regulation.

Automated tracking reveals the social network of beach mice and their burrows

N. L. Bedford, J. T. Gable, C. K. Hu, T. B. Wooldridge, N. A. Sokolov, J.-M. Lassance, H. E. Hoekstra

This study uses RFID tracking to analyze burrow use in beach mice, finding that long burrows offer better thermal stability and that mice use multiple burrows with social relatives.

Behavioural mechanisms underlying the evolution of cooperative burrowing in Peromyscus mice

N. L. Bedford, J. N. Weber, W. Tong, F. Baier, A. Kam, R. A. Greenberg, H. E. Hoekstra

The paper investigates how Peromyscus mice adapt their burrowing behavior when digging individually versus with partners, finding that cooperative digging results in longer burrows due to increased social cohesion in opposite-sex pairs.

Evolution and genetics of precocious burrowing behavior in Peromyscus mice

H. C. Metz, N. L. Bedford, L. Pan, H. E. Hoekstra

This study identifies a genetic region linked to both juvenile and adult burrowing behavior in Peromyscus mice, suggesting pleiotropy or close linkage of genes affecting behavioral drive across life stages.
