摘要: Proc. 22 Vertebr. Pest Conf. (R M. Timm and J. O'Brien, Eds) Published at Univ. of Calif., Davis. 2006. Pp. 124-130. House mice (Mus musculus M domesticus) are the most widespread mammalian species in world, next to humans. Rouse originated grasslands Central Asia followed humans around world. There a number genus Mus, but common world Mus domesticus. Here, we use term house mouse refer both, as there is debate taxonomic circles distinction between these two very similar. whether or. not they should be lumped under musculus. In general, domesticus slightly larger more uniformly colored (a buff or gray brown) than . The described detail Lund (1994) Nowak (1999): has been review biology, behavior, ecology, damage, management quite some time.. this review, revisit topics. We also point out differences commensal rats (Rattus spp.).. examine serious problem areas involving mice. Finally,- consider research needs that could enhance our populations damage cause. ABILITIES AND VALUES OF HOUSE MICE have remarkable. abilities allowed them highly successful colonizing
