Exploration of Olfactory Communication in the Water Vole, Arvicola terrestris
In a large part of western Europe, water voles have a dynamic reproductive activity across the year, leading to regular multiyear outbreaks, which...

Odour preferred males led to a higher offspring number in the common vole
Very recently, an interesting phenomenon was described in the common vole; vole parents with similar locomotor ability produced significantly larger...

Changes in the Hippocampus of the Bank Vole Due to Population Density Dynamics
AbstractWe studied hippocampal variability in relation to the multiyear population density cycle and the action of density-dependent autoregulatory...

Dynamic home range of the grey-sided vole Craseomys rufocanus: a pilot study
BackgroundKnowledge about home range size is vital to understand social systems and population dynamics of small mammals, as well as dispersal and a...

Study of the Water Vole (Arvicola amphibius) at the Northwestern Boundary of Its Range
AbstractWe performed long-term expeditionary and stationary studies in the taiga of northwestern Russia (1958–2018) to characterize the abundance,...

Sexual discrimination and attraction through scents in the water vole, Arvicola terrestris
In mammals, especially rodents, social behaviours, such as parenting, territoriality or mate attraction, are largely based on olfactory communication...

Environmental Preferences of the Bank Vole (Clethrionomys Glareolus Schreber, 1780) under Different Biotopical Conditions in the Protected Territory of the Middle Urals
Abstract —The environmental preferences of the bank vole were studied in the protected area of the Middle Urals in different biotope conditions formed...

Spatial and numerical responses of Red Kites Milvus milvus to the Common Vole Microtus arvalis population outbreak in central Europe
Predator behaviour and population numbers can be determined by many factors such as prey availability, individual and habitat characteristics, and...

The Ecology of Sibling Species of the Common Vole (Microtus arvalis Pall. and Microtus rossiaemeridionalis Ognev) at the Northern Limit of Its Range
AbstractA characteristic based on long-term (1958–2018) field and stationary studies is given for the abundance and the demographic structure of the...

Similarity of locomotor personality trait within parents improves their reproduction in the common vole (Microtus arvalis) under laboratory conditions
In the last decade, the personality traits of the common vole ( Microtus arvalis ) have been well described. However, to date, the mechanisms by which...

The Eurasian shrew and vole tick Ixodes trianguliceps: geographical distribution, climate preference, and pathogens detected
The Eurasian shrew and vole tick Ixodes trianguliceps Birula lives in the nests and burrows of its small mammalian hosts and is—along with larvae and...

Analysis of the Adaptive Capabilities of the Reproductive System of the Bank Vole Myodes glareolus, Living on Territories with Geochemical Anomalies of the Natural Habitats
AbstractThis paper gives a morphofunctional analysis of the testes and ovaries of the bank vole ( Myodes glareolus Shreb.), which lives in the...

Population dynamics of an island population of water voles Arvicola amphibius (Linnaeus, 1758) with one major predator, the eagle owl Bubo bubo (Linnaeus, 1758), in northern Norway
Predator–prey relationships are of great significance to ecosystems, and their effects on the population dynamics of voles and lemmings (Microtinae)...

Community of Small Mammals in the Patchy Landscape of Northern Kulunda (Western Siberia)
AbstractAn analysis of the community of rodents and insectivores in five biotopes of the southern forest steppe of Northern Kulunda has been carried...

Physical Condition, Activity, and Longevity of Two Rock Vole Species: Alticola Tuvinicus and A. Strelzowi
A well-protected environment with a hypoxic atmosphere is expected to favour evolutionary trends towards extended longevity in high-mountain species....

Weakened inbreeding avoidance in a monogamous subterranean vole, Ellobius tancrei
Animals of most species avoid close inbreeding, but the level of incest avoidance varies, and the ultimate causes of interspecies differences in the...

Is chronic stress a causal mechanism for small mammal population cycles? Reconciling the evidence
Chronic stress has long been hypothesized to play a role in driving population cycles. Christian (1950) hypothesized that high population density...

The Reproductive Ecology of the Bank Vole Myodes (Clethrionomys) glareolus Schreb. in North Periphery of Its Areal: I. Sex Cycles, Course, Dates, and Intensive Reproduction
AbstractA characterization of long-term station and field studies (1958–2017) on the tiaga in northwestern Russia is given for the population-ecology...

Population Cycles and the Chitty Syndrome
Abstract—Data are presented on the long-term population dynamics of small mammals (1982–2019) and variation in the body weight and length of the bank...
