Mouse
A mouse ( : mice) is a small rodent. Characteristically, mice are known to have a pointed snout, small rounded ears, a body-length scaly tail, and a high breeding rate. The best known mouse species is the common house mouse (''Mus musculus''). Mice are also popular as pets. In some places, certain kinds of field mice are locally common. They are known to invade homes for food and shelter. Mice are typically distinguished from rats by their size. Generally, when a muroid rodent is discovered, its common name includes the term ''mouse'' if it is smaller, or ''rat'' if it is larger. The common terms ''rat'' and ''mouse'' are not taxonomically specific. Typical mice are classified in the genus '' Mus'', but the term ''mouse'' is not confined to members of ''Mus'' and can also apply to species from other genera such as the deer mouse, ''Peromyscus''. Domestic mice sold as pets often differ substantially in size from the common house mouse. This is attributable to breeding a ...

Mouse (software)
MOUSE, short for MOdel for Urban SEwers, is a computer program that models collection system for urban wastewater and stormwater. MOUSE is the first micro-computer based software created by DHI and it was developed in 1983. The MOUSE engine is used in the CS - Pipeflow module of the hydraulic modeling software MIKE URBAN. Applications MOUSE can be used for analysing CSOs and SSOs, evaluating RDII, network capacity and bottlenecks, predicting local flooding, estimating sediment build-up and transport, optimization and design of RTC solutions, analysing water quality and sediment problems, and real-time modeling embedded in RTC solutions.

Big-eared Hopping Mouse
The big-eared hopping mouse (''Notomys macrotis'') is an extinct species of mouse, which lived in the Moore River area of south-western Australia. The big-eared hopping mouse was a small, rat-sized animal resembling a tiny kangaroo. It had large eyes and ears with a brush-tipped tail. It moved on its four legs when traveling at a slower pace, or by bounding upon its enlarged, padded, hind feet when traveling quickly. They mainly lived in sand dunes and made nests of leaves and other organic materials. The big-eared hopping-mouse was last collected in July 1843 near the Moore River, Western Australia, close to where New Norcia is now situated, and has not been seen since. The big-eared hopping mouse was among many hopping mice to be extinct, and its absence from extensive sub-fossil collections suggests it was restricted to Western Australia. Of the six taxa with ranges limited to Western Australia, five are considered threatened or vulnerable and one, the big-eared hopping mous ...

Large Mindoro Forest Mouse
The large Mindoro forest mouse (''Apomys gracilirostris'') is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, from the genus ''Apomys''. It is found only in the Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is a large mouse with large feet, a long tail and an elongated snout which is morphologically unique within its genus. It is covered in soft fur which is mostly dark brown in colour. Its closest relative is thought to be the Luzon montane forest mouse, based on genetic and morphological similarities. Discovery and taxonomy In May and June 1992, an expedition to the Philippines was organised for the purpose of increasing the knowledge on their biodiversity. During this expedition, sixteen examples of a then unknown species of mouse were captured on Mount Halcon, on the island Mindoro. To this day, these animals, all captured between May 28 and June 12, 1992, remain the only known specimens of this species. In 1995, in the scientific journa ...

Yellow-necked Mouse
The yellow-necked mouse (''Apodemus flavicollis''), also called yellow-necked field mouse, yellow-necked wood mouse, and South China field mouse, is closely related to the wood mouse, with which it was long confused. It was only recognised as a separate species in 1894. It differs in its band of yellow fur around the neck and in having slightly larger ears and usually being slightly larger overall. Around 100 mm in length, it can climb trees and sometimes overwinters in houses. It is found mostly in mountainous areas of southern Europe, but extends north into parts of Scandinavia and Britain. It facilitates the spread of tick-borne encephalitis to humans and is a reservoir species for the Dobrava virus, a hantavirus that is responsible for causing haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Taxonomy ''Apodemus ponticus'' is probably a synonym of ''Apodemus flavicollis''. The former is found in the former Soviet Union with the boundary between the two being the political bound ...

Wood Mouse
The wood mouse (''Apodemus sylvaticus'') is a murid rodent native to Europe and northwestern Africa. It is closely related to the yellow-necked mouse (''Apodemus flavicollis'') but differs in that it has no band of yellow fur around the neck, has slightly smaller ears, and is usually slightly smaller overall: around 90 mm (3.54 in) in length and 23 g in weight. It is found across most of Europe and is a very common and widespread species, is commensal with people and is sometimes considered a pest. Other common names are long-tailed field mouse, field mouse, common field mouse, and European wood mouse. This species is a known potential carrier of the Dobrava sequence of hantavirus which affects humans and may pose serious risks to human health. Habitat and distribution Wood mice inhabit forests, grasslands, and cultivated fields, tending to seek out more wooded areas in winter. Almost entirely nocturnal and terrestrial, wood mice burrow extensively, build nests of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Apodemus
''Apodemus'' is a genus of Muridae (true mice and rats). The name is unrelated to that of the ''Mus'' genus, instead being derived from the Greek ἀπό-δημος (literally ''away from home''). Taxonomy Related to the Ryūkyū spiny rats (''Tokudaia'') and the prehistoric '' Rhagamys'' – and far more distantly to ''Mus'' and ''Malacomys'' – it includes these species: ''Apodemus sensu stricto'' * Striped field mouse, ''A. agrarius'' * Chevrier's field mouse, ''A. chevrieri'' * Small Japanese field mouse, ''A. argenteus'' ''Alsomys'' * South China field mouse, ''A. draco'' * Himalayan field mouse, ''A. gurkha'' * Sichuan field mouse, ''A. latronum'' * Korean field mouse, ''A. peninsulae'' * Taiwan field mouse, ''A. semotus'' * Large Japanese field mouse, ''A. speciosus'' ''Sylvaemus'' * Alpine field mouse, ''A. alpicola'' * Yellow-necked mouse, ''A. flavicollis'' – includes ''A. arianus'' * Caucasus field mouse, ''A. hyrcanicus'' * Ward's field mouse, ...

Brush Mouse
The brush mouse (''Peromyscus boylii'') is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in mountainous areas of Mexico and the western United States at altitudes over . Description The brush mouse is medium-sized, with small ears and a long tail. It has yellowish-brown fur on the body, with slate grey under parts. The tail has only sparse hair for most of its length, but with a distinct brush-like tuft of hair at the tip (although the common name is, perhaps, more likely to come from brushy environment in which it lives). It has a head-body length of with a tail long. It is very similar in appearance to a number of closely related species of mouse living in the same area, although it can be distinguished from them by such features as the length of its tail, the size of its ears, and the presence of the tuft on the end of the tail. Distribution and habitat The brush mouse can be found from northern California to eastern Colorado and western Texas, and south to Baj ...

Kangaroo Mouse
A kangaroo mouse is either one of the two species of jumping mouse (genus ''Microdipodops'') native to the deserts of the southwestern United States, predominantly found in the state of Nevada. The name "kangaroo mouse" refers to the species' extraordinary jumping ability, as well as its habit of bipedal locomotion. The two species are: * Dark kangaroo mouse – ''Microdipodops megacephalus'' * Pale kangaroo mouse – ''Microdipodops pallidus'' Both species of kangaroo mouse live in sandy desert ecosystems, and forage for seeds and vegetation amongst the scrub brush of their native habitat. The dark kangaroo mouse is also known to feed occasionally on insects and carrion. The mouse rarely drinks water, instead deriving it metabolically from the foods it eats. The kangaroo mouse collects food and maintains large caches in their burrows, which are excavated to a length of between 3 and 8 feet (1 to 2.5 meters). The burrow, the entrance to which the mouse covers during dayli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mus (genus)
The genus ''Mus'' or typical mice refers to a specific genus of muroid rodents, all typically called mice (the adjective "muroid" comes from the word " Muroidea", which is a large superfamily of rodents, including mice, rats, voles, hamsters, gerbils, and many other relatives). They are the only members of the tribe Murini. However, the term mouse can also be applied to species outside of this genus. Subgenera, species, and subspecies '' The following is a list of ''Mus'' subgenera, species, and subspecies: *'' Coelomys'' **'' Mus crociduroides'' (Sumatran shrewlike mouse) **''Mus mayori'' (Mayor's mouse) **''Mus pahari'' (Gairdner's shrewmouse) **''Mus vulcani'' (volcano mouse) *''Mus'' **'' Mus booduga'' (Little Indian field mouse) **'' Mus caroli'' (Ryukyu mouse) **'' Mus cervicolor'' (Fawn-colored mouse) ***''Mus cervicolor cervicolor'' ***''Mus cervicolor popaeus'' **'' Mus cookii'' (Cook's mouse) **'' Mus cypriacus'' (Cyprus mouse) **'' Mus famulus'' (Servant mouse) **' ...

Sea Mouse
''Aphrodita'' is a genus of marine polychaete worms found in the Mediterranean sea and the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean. Several members of this genus are known as "sea mice". Etymology The name of the genus is taken from Aphrodite, the Ancient Greek goddess of love, said to be because of a supposed resemblance to human female genitalia. The English name may derive from the resemblance to a bedraggled house mouse when washed up on shore. Description The body of the sea mouse is covered in a dense mat of parapodia and ''setae'' (hairlike structures). Adults generally fall within a size range of , but some grow to . The sea mouse has two pairs of feeler-like appendages close to the mouth and does not have eyes. Locomotion is carried out by several small, bristly, paddle-like appendages. They are hermaphroditic which means that they have functional reproductive organs of both sexes. The eggs of one individual are fertilised by the sperm of another. Structural coloratio ...
