  • Zapus Hudsonius Luteus) Jennifer K
    Variation in phenology of hibernation and reproduction in the endangered New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius luteus) Jennifer K. Frey Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Ecology, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, United States of America Frey Biological Research, Radium Springs, NM, United States of America ABSTRACT Hibernation is a key life history feature that can impact many other crucial aspects of a species’ biology, such as its survival and reproduction. I examined the timing of hibernation and reproduction in the federally endangered New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius luteus), which occurs across a broad range of latitudes and elevations in the American Southwest. Data from museum specimens and field studies supported predictions for later emergence and shorter active intervals in montane populations relative to lower elevation valley populations. A low-elevation population located at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge (BANWR) in the Rio Grande valley was most similar to other subspecies of Z. hudsonius: the first emergence date was in mid-May and there was an active interval of 162 days. In montane populations of Z. h. luteus, the date of first emergence was delayed until mid-June and the active interval was reduced to ca 124–135 days, similar to some populations of the western jumping mouse (Z. princeps). Last date of immergence into hibernation occurred at about the same time in all populations (mid to late October). In montane populations pregnant females are known from July to late August and evidence suggests that they have a single litter per year. At BANWR two peaks in reproduction were expected based Submitted 6 May 2015 on similarity of active season to Z.

  • 1 the Value of Dihydrogen Monoxide to a Jumping Mouse: Habitat Use
    The value of dihydrogen monoxide to a jumping mouse: habitat use and preference in Zapus princeps. Student: Jennifer B. Smith Mentor: Rosemary J. Smith Advanced Independent Research/REU Summer 2012 1 ABSTRACT The western jumping mouse, Zapus princeps is common in riparian habitat. There are multiple hypotheses (need for water, food type, or anti-predator/cover) for why this is. The objective of this project was to determine the use of mesic and adjacent drier habitats by Zapus using both a live-trapping study and a historical study using records of Zapus captures at three sites in the East River Valley, Gunnison, CO. I also conducted a test to determine if the presence of water vs. cover had a greater influence on Zapus habitat selection. I live-trapped individuals of Z. princeps in three different habitats: riparian, intermediate, and dry, replicated at three sites. I marked the mice uniquely to indicate the habitat in which they were first trapped. This allowed me to study frequency of recaptures both within and among habitat types. I also compared trapping success between two different microhabitats (wet/cover vs. dry/cover). The third study used historical trapping records on permanent grids to determine long-term patterns of Zapus captures with vegetation and proximity to water. Zapus princeps was captured more frequently in riparian areas. Zapus preferred to move within and between wetter habitats than the dry. The historical study showed a negative relationship between trap success and distance from water. The microhabitat experiment showed a trend but no overall significant difference in capture of mice between microhabitats of wet/cover and dry/cover.

Canadian Field-Naturalist 131(2): 141–143. https://doi.org/10.22621/cfn.v131i2.1869 Jumping mice (Dipodidae: Zapodinae) have a generalized terrestrial quadrupedal locomotion with specializations for saltatory and scansorial locomotion. I reviewed first-hand accounts of aquatic behaviour in the literature and confirmed that jumping mice are semi-aquatic, using both primitive quadrupedal paddling on the surface as well as the more derived simultaneous bipedal pelvic paddling while swimming underwater. Although proficient swimmers, jumping mice are also prone to drowning, especially in human-made pools. Management of populations of jumping mice with conservation concern should consider potential hazards faced by jumping mice in an aquatic environment.

The distribution and ecology of the woodland jumping mouse, Napacoz-aplus uisuipliis, were studied in the light of its behavior in the field, its physiology in the laboratory, and by comparison with other species of small rodents. Data from 36 traplines show that jumping mice have no preference for habitats near water. Shrubby ground cover appears to be the most important factor affecting their local abundance. Napaeozaputs has probably been associated so often with streams because these areas favor growth of good ground cover.

HOME RANGE OF THE WESTERN JUMPING MOUSE, ZAPUS PRINCEPS, IN THE COLORADO ROCKY MOUNTAINS Nathaniel Stinson, Jr.' Abstract.— Western jumping mice, Zapiis princeps, were live-trapped during the summer of 1975 in an aspen forest in the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Home range sizes were calculated using the exclu- sive boundary strip method, and it was discovered that males had larger home ranges (298-.3315 m^, x = 1743 m^) than females (680-1275 ni", x = 1041 m'^). Mean range length was 96.5 m for males and 78.5 m for females. Spatial relationships showed that females tended to be more territorial than males, based on the females' higher percentage of exclusive home ranges, greater distance between centers of activity, and more uniform spacing. Jumping mice (Zapodidae) are widely dis- densis), and bluegrass {Poa spp.) dominated tributed over North America.
