Claim to fame: Although there are no surveys to prove it, it’s a safe assumption that the house mouse is one of the most abundant mammals on the continent. There are mice native to North America, but ...

Scientists have revealed the genetic structure and diversity, and inferred the population history, of the wild house mouse across Europe and Asia. The house mouse, Mus musculus, is the most common ...

This report describes a new behavioristic mutation, shaker, of the house mouse, which expresses itself in the form of nervous head movements, circling and deafness, and which behaves in inheritance as ...

If you ever get a house, “eventually you get a mouse”—or so Ogden Nash once wrote. And science seems to be catching up with poetry. The standard thinking until now has been that the house mouse, Mus ...

Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) are chromosomal landmarks that consist of tandemly repeated sequences of ribosomal genes (rRNA). In eukaryotes, each unit is composed of three genes coding for 18S, ...

As winter descends upon us, so does the increased likelihood of finding unwelcome houseguests scurrying across our floors—the house mouse, Mus musculus (scientific). While these tiny rodents may be a ...

House mice (Mus musculus) pose a threat to the native flora and fauna on islands, and can cause significant damage wherever they have been introduced. Methods used to eradicate invasive rodents, like ...
