摘要
We document the first known occurrences of the cotton mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus) in Illinois since 1909. Mean kind foot length and body mass of cotton mice from study areas in two counties were significantly greater than sympatric white-footed mice (P. leucopus). The cotton mice occurred in forested bottomland habitat.
