Mammals display diverse reproductive strategies, however, the ultimate and proximate mechanisms that underlie this diversity and its composite traits remain poorly understood from both evolutionary and physiological perspectives. The Peromyscus genus of rodents, which is found throughout the north and central Americas, has diversified along life history gradients, varying both within and among species in reproductive strategies. This variation provides a useful model for studying reproductive diversity. Here, we combine a literature review with new analyses of captive colony breeding records from six Peromyscus species to assess our current understanding of how plasticity and local adaptation contribute to diversity in two classes of reproductive traits: phenology and litter investment. There is substantial evidence that many traits underlying phenology and litter investment have diverged among populations in ways that are likely to be locally adaptive, though plasticity in these traits remains common. However, these conclusions are largely based on data collected from the two most widespread Peromyscus species: P. maniculatus and P. leucopus. The majority of Peromyscus species diversity remains understudied regarding reproductive phenology and litter traits. We conclude by discussing key challenges and considerations relevant to using Peromyscus as a mammalian model for reproductive trait diversity and evolution moving forward. In this review, we summarize diversity among Peromyscus species and populations in a number of reproductive traits. including litter size. We examine associations with environmental variation (map, right). We also use a large dataset compiled from lab‐held colonies (violin ploots, right) of Peromyscus to test for species‐ and population‐level differences under common garden conditions. Peromyscus species and populations within species differ in key reproductive traits. Ecological gradients consistently covary with reproductive traits. The physiological and genetic basis of this trait diversity remain largely unknown.
