Abstract: Common voles (Microtus arvalis) can cause severe crop damage in European agriculture and are usually managed with rodenticides. Population dynamics and behavioral studies question rodenticide effectiveness, and an ecologically based management is needed. A useful… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182017001524
Abstract: SUMMARY We undertook a study on Cryptosporidium spp. in wild cricetid rodents. Fecal samples were collected from meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus), southern red-backed voles (Myodes gapperi), woodland voles (Microtus pinetorum), muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) and Peromyscus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyaa058
Abstract: Individuals of either sex may display alternative behaviors to obtain copulations, but few studies have examined the breeding patterns of females and males in populations where individuals of both sexes exhibit alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0183450
Abstract: Inbred mouse strains, living in simple laboratory environments far removed from nature, have been shown to vary consistently in their immune response. However, wildlife populations are typically outbreeding and face a multiplicity of challenges, parasitological… read more here.

When to Cheat: Modeling Dynamics of Paternity and Promiscuity in Socially Monogamous Prairie Voles (Microtus ochrogaster)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in ecology and evolution"
DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00141
Abstract: In many socially monogamous species, individuals form long-term pair bonds and males mate guard females. Such behavior is thought to help secure intra-pair fertilizations, the result of intra-pair copulations (IPCs), and ensure paternity. However, socially… read more here.

Alternative Mating Tactics in Socially Monogamous Prairie Voles, Microtus ochrogaster
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00007
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Alternative mating tactics appear to evolve when sexual selection is strong. Because such conditions are usually observed in species with polygynous or polyandrous mating systems, alternative mating tactics in monogamous mating systems are seldom… read more here.

Effects of vision obstruction on the foraging behavior in voles (Microtus fortis)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Acta Ecologica Sinica"
DOI: 10.5846/stxb201508281792
Abstract: The foraging behavior of small mammalian herbivores is the outcome of adaption to specific habitats. It is unknown whether vision obstruction caused by plants surrounding food patches affects foraging vigilance in small mammalian herbivores, resulting… read more here.
