Trematode parasites as indicators of an animal component in the diet of the Water Vole Arvicola amphibius [PDF]
Helminthologia, 2023 The intestinal trematode fauna of the Water Vole Arvicola amphibius, (previously A. terrestris), was investigated to determine whether it might provide evidence of an animal component in the diet of this aquatic herbivorous small mammal. Interrogation of

Hereditary predisposition of water voles (Arvicola amphibius L.) to seizures in response to handling [PDF]
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2022 Finding out the hereditary predisposition to seizures in response to specific external stimuli is important for understanding the causes of epileptiform conditions, developing new methods for their prevention and therapies. In the water vole, individuals

High prevalence rates of Toxoplasma gondii in cat-hunted small mammals - Evidence for parasite induced behavioural manipulation in the natural environment? [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023 Toxoplasma gondii causes one of the most frequent parasitic infections in vertebrates on earth. The present study aimed to assess the occurrence of T. gondii infection in cat-hunted wild small mammals, and to determine the circulating T. gondii genotypes

The effects of seasonal, ontogenetic, and genetic factors on lifespan of male and female progeny of Arvicola amphibius [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2013 The water vole (Arvicola amphibius) in the forest-steppe of West Siberia is known to have wide fluctuations in abundance. These fluctuations are accompanied by changes in birth and death rates, sex-age structure of the population, and individual ...

Genetic variability and structure of the water voleArvicola amphibiusacross four metapopulations in northern Norway [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2013 AbstractWater voleArvicola amphibiuspopulations have recently experienced severe decline in several European countries as a consequence of both reduction in suitable habitat and the establishment of the alien predator American minkNeovison vison. We usedDNAmicrosatellite markers to describe the genetic structure of 14 island populations of water vole ...
