Mystery chemical triggers rodent population booms says biologist
Salt Lake City report cites University of Utah biologist Norman C. Negus claiming a plant-derived chemical, yet unnamed, can suppress melatonin and extend breeding in meadow mice and other mammals. He notes experiments show rapid effects within 24 hours, but acknowledges impurities and lack of full identification. Population explosions could drive broader crop damage in Western states.
