Reproduction in the Water‐Vole, Arvicola amphibius Linn.

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1943
Summary.1. Reproduction in the water‐vole, Arvicola amphibius, is described from field material comprising 128 males and 95 females.2. The reproductive organs resemble those of the bank‐vole.3. The breeding season extends from the end of March to the latter half of September, but fecund males were caught in February.4.

Home ranges of fossorial water voles (Arvicola amphibius) in urban grasslands.

Mammal Communications, 2023
Water voles (Arvicola amphibius) occur in urban areas in mainland Britain but relatively little is known about their ecology in these environments. In Scotland’s largest city Glasgow, fossorial water voles occupy areas of grassland, some of which may be faced with urban development.

The repelling effect of plant secondary metabolites on water voles, Arvicola amphibius

Pest Management Science, 2012
AbstractBACKGROUND: Water voles (Arvicola amphibius Linnaeus 1758) are abundant in most parts of Germany and other European countries. They are known to cause serious damage in fruit and horticulture as well as in agriculture. Currently available repellents, scaring devices and household remedies are mostly inefficient.

Geometric Morphometrics and taxonomy of Arvicola amphibius in Italy

2016
The taxonomic status of the Eurasian water vole Arvicola amphibius, has been highly questioned and undergone many nomenclature changes since 1549, the year of its first description by Georg Agricola. This is due to the two different ways of life of these animals, which present terrestrial and aquatic populations.

Influence of rearing environment on the development of social behavior in male water voles (Arvicola amphibius)

Mammalian Biology, 2021
In litter-bearing mammals, the prenatal and postnatal environments are crucial for developing social behaviors, which help individuals survive and reproduce. Here, we hypothesized that the social behavior of adult water vole [Arvicola amphibius (Linnaeus, 1758)] males is determined by natural variations in early rearing conditions (maternal body mass ...

Parasites and pathogens in wild populations of water voles (Arvicola amphibius) in the UK

European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2011
The water vole (Arvicola amphibius) is Britain’s most endangered mammal, having gained protection under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act in 2008. We present an overview of a range of naturally occurring pathogens and parasites in this rare species, which might negatively impact population persistence for small or declining populations ...

Prenatal Growth and Development of the Water Vole Arvicola amphibius (Rodentia, Arvicolinae)

Biology Bulletin
The morphological and morphometric characteristics of water vole embryos are studied. Embryo implantation occurs on the 5th day of pregnancy. A description of the morphological features of embryonic development at different stages of pregnancy is given, with equations for embryo body weight and length revealed.
