Entrez Taxonomy
//Entrez Taxonomy
The California mouse (Peromyscus californicus) is a monogamous species
of rodent found along the coastal mountain ranges and eastern Sierra
Nevada of California. It is the largest species in its genus with
adult body length ranging between 22-29 cm and body mass between
33-54 g. Adults are distinctly bicolored with yellowish brown or
gray mixed with black dorsal coloring and a white underside and
feet.
Captive colonies of California mice have been useful for the
study of the neuroendocrine mechanisms of parental behavior,
aggression, and behavioral responses to stress.
