This study finds urban house mice have smaller body size and some cranial shape differences not fully explained by size, suggesting body size mediates morphological responses to urbanization.

This study examines diet and gut microbiota differences between urban and rural house mice, finding urban mice have less microbial diversity and different dietary patterns.

This study examines alternative splicing variation in house mice from different climates, showing its role in adaptation and plasticity through diet-dependent gene regulation.

This study investigates how gene-by-environment interactions influence body size variation in mice from the Americas through experimental diet manipulation and genetic crosses.

The paper introduces 11 wild-derived inbred mouse strains with expanded genomic and phenotypic diversity, enhancing the scope of biomedical research.
