The influence of male density on the spacing behaviour of male field voles, Microtus agrestis, was experimentally investigated in field enclosures. Males were radio-tracked at different densities (3 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The possibilities of extending the use of Microtus agrestis, the field vole, as a new laboratory animal are discussed and a technique for ...

Voles or field mice populations are increasing due to a mild winter. Vole populations crash every 2-5 years, due to cold weather and a lack of food and shelter. This year, vole populations are ...

Farms using no-till or adding more cover crops risk inviting a voracious pest to the field. Voles, also known as meadow or field mice, can eat through stands in a hurry. Indiana Farmer Aaron Krueger ...

Small rodents called field voles living on islands in the Baltic Sea are larger and sport longer hind feet than their landlubbing counterparts, new research shows. The enhanced features allowed the ...

A short-tailed vole, or field vole. Damage from voles wreck a Lawrence lawn. When the snow melted, several Lawrence and Douglas County residents were left with what some described as looking like ...

According to evolutionary theory, natural selection favors traits that enhance dispersal of populations to new habitats. The empirical evidence supporting this theory, however, is relatively scarce.

As we begin to refocus our activities from those outdoors in the landscape to the warmth and comfort of the indoors, it is important to remember that there are powerful forces at work in your ...

The common vole (Microtus arvalis) is the most common species in European farmland. Continent-scale collapses in population cycles of these species and other grass-eating voles could have profound ...

I’m like most born-and-raised Minnesotans in that a lake place lurks in my personal history. For a short time when I was a teenager my parents owned a cabin in the North Woods. There we spent summer ...
