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

Influence of Reproductive Status: Home Range Size in Water Voles (Arvicola amphibius). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The relationship between home range and reproductive status of water voles (Arvicola amphibius) was studied by radio-tracking on an island off the coast of northern Norway in 2006-2009.

Divergence time estimation using ddRAD data and an isolation-with-migration model applied to water vole populations of Arvicola [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Molecular dating methods of population splits are crucial in evolutionary biology, but they present important difficulties due to the complexity of the genealogical relationships of genes and past migrations between populations.

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 ...

Distributional, morphological and karyotypic contributions for the Eurasian water vole, Arvicola amphibius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Rodentia: Mammalia), from Turkey [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2011 The present study was focused on both the new distributional records and karyological data for Arvicola amphibius from the European part of Turkey. The karyotype of the Eurasian water vole was investigated by examining its metaphase chromosomes.

Measuring animal welfare within a reintroduction: an assessment of different indices of stress in water voles Arvicola amphibius. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Reintroductions are an increasingly common conservation restoration tool; however, little attention has hitherto been given to different methods for monitoring the stress encountered by reintroduced individuals.

Long-Term Temporal Change of Small Mammal Composition and Abundance in the Food Intake of the Western Barn Owl (<i>Tyto alba</i>), Comparing Two Different Lowland Mesoregions. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe object of this study is to evaluate and compare the changes of the small mammal assemblages between two lowland mesoregions in Hungary based on Western Barn Owl pellet analysis. Prey composition, diversity, and community dynamics differed markedly between the two lowland regions, indicating that local landscape characteristics and weather ...
