'natives' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'results about mice affected' is the wordplay.
'results' becomes 'ends' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'affected' indicates an anagram.
'mice' with letters rearranged gives 'emic'.
'ends' going around 'emic' is 'ENDEMICS'.
