One vet suggested bushfire smoke had killed the smoky mouse – and asked, in a nod to the species’ name, if this was a case of “death by irony”.

Researchers are developing a seasonal shot that blocks Lyme disease-causing bacteria from a tick.
Using distance to avoid getting sick has deep evolutionary roots for humans and many other species.
A tick expert explains his work trying to understand why the abundance of the parasites vary so much from location to location and year to year.
Nearly 20 years ago, Bill Clinton said that sequencing the human genome would give us a “new power to heal”.
New mouse model study sheds light on why alcohol is so harmful.
Dogs, rats, cats, cows, chickens and mice have also changed the world.
Releasing just 100 mice carrying a faulty gene designed to stop them reproducing can remove an entire population of 50,000, a new study shows, paving the way for new eradication efforts.
A study in mice shows that transplantation of healthy stem cells into the brain’s hypothalamus can boost lifespan considerably.
Animals that group together to fight off evolutionary pressure may actually evolve faster.
Anti-ageing research often uses short-lived model species such as mice. But these species age in a very different way to us, so they may not tell us all that much about boosting our own lifespans.
Climate change has an impact on small mammals and some battle to survive. But some others have developed intriguing coping mechanisms to survive.
Studies have suggested that women using a particular kind of injectable contraceptive are more susceptible to HIV infection. Research in mice offers new insights.
We all know that stress can wreak havoc on your health but what does it do to your genes?
Mice possess a notable talent: they are excellent at making more mice. Their ability to reproduce at a breakneck pace is one reason they are often used as experimental research subjects. Thus, when Dr…
Despite killing a majority of people it infects, some patients survive the onslaught of Ebola virus. What gives them this resistance, ask Michael Katze, professor of microbiology, and colleagues from the…
Clues found in mice teeth have helped scientists recreate evolutionary history. Researchers were able to reproduce gradual…
A small molecule, which works by “tricking” proteins into binding with it, has been effective in stopping the growth of cancer…
At low temperatures the human body has a hard time. As the cold sets in, blood vessels constrict to maintain heat and some body parts – like fingers and toes – begin to suffer. Metabolism ramps up to fight…
Tests on mice show they are better able to re-synchronise their body clocks with regular exercise. The effect is more pronounced…
