This review explores how disturbances (wildfire, urbanization) affecting rodent populations illustrate key ecological restoration, public health, and wildlife management aspects. Understanding behavior in these novel post-fire ecosystems is critical as they play a role recovery processes (especially vegetation recovery, seed dispersal, trophic interactions). Despite being able to adapt changing environments rapidly, significant gaps remain understanding long-term responses environmental changes are constrained. aims provide an overview of current data on population dynamics behavior, their consequences following wildfire, the urban rodents potential disease vectors.

Billions of genomic sequences and records species occurrence are available in public repositories (e.g. National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, GBIF). By implementing analytical tools from different scientific disciplines, data mining these databases can aid global surveillance zoonotic pathogens that circulate among wildlife. We illustrate this by investigating Hantavirus–rodent system Americas, i.e. New World Hantaviruses (NWH). First, we considered circulation pathogenic NWH Cricetidae rodents, inferring phylogenetic links 277 samples S segment (N protein) found 55 species.
