Diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in ticks and small mammals from different habitats [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Ixodid ticks are important vectors for zoonotic pathogens, with Ixodes ricinus being the most important in Europe. Rodents are hosts of immature life stages of I.

Foraging Habitat Availability and the Non-Fish Diet Composition of the Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) at Two Spatial Scales [PDF]
AnimalsHabitat structure on foraging ground is one of the crucial factors determining diet diversity in colonially breeding avian predators. Quantifying the habitat and diet composition at different spatial scales (regional and local inter-colonial) can help ...

An albino Arvicola amphibius from Czech Silesia (Rodentia: Cricetidae)
Lynx, 2017 Abstract An albino specimen of the water vole (Arvicola amphibius) collected at Kravaře, Opava dist. (Silesia, Czech Republic), on 17 May 1965, has been recently examined in the collection of the Šariš Museum Bardejov, Slovakia.

Fossorial Form of Water Voles Select and Overexploit High-Quality Habitats, Hindering Future Colonizations Evidence From Drone-Based Monitoring of Dandelion-Vole Interactions in Mountain Meadows. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDandelion‐rich plots are more likely to be colonized by voles. In plots with low dandelion density, areas denser than the plot average are also more likely to be colonized. We also found evidence that existing burrows are more likely to be reused by new voles if dandelions were still present.

Potential importance of urban areas for water voles: Arvicola amphibius [PDF]
European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2021 Cities are not often considered priority areas for threatened mammals; however, recent research suggests that urban areas may be important for water vole (Arvicola amphibius) conservation. To establish the potential importance of cities in supporting water vole populations, we used National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Atlas data to examine the ...

Species and ecomorphological differentiation of the genus Arvicola (Mammalia) in Eastern Europe
Theriologia Ukrainica, 2021 The genus Arvicola is represented in the fauna of Eastern Europe by several taxa and ecological races of semi-species and subspecies rank. Morphological data indicate the taxonomic homogeneity of lowland amphibious forms and a high level of ...

Global Prevalence and Subtype Distribution of Blastocystis sp. in Rodent Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Vet Med SciOverall, 16% of rodents worldwide were infected with Blastocystis sp. (95% CI: 12.6%–20.2%). Rodents host various Blastocystis sp. subtypes (STs), including ST1‐ST8, ST10, ST13, ST15 and ST17. The most commonly reported STs in rodents globally were ST4, ST5, ST1 and ST3.

Agronomy, 2022 Rodent bark gnawing is common during winter in times of low or unavailable food supply. During the growing season, it is a rare phenomenon, but can occur due to low food supply and/or poor food quality resulting from climatic influence. We evaluated this

Seasonal diet-based resistance to anticoagulant rodenticides in the fossorial water vole (Arvicola amphibius) [PDF]
Environmental Research, 2021 Anticoagulant rodenticides (AR) resistance has been defined as "a major loss of efficacy due to the presence of a strain of rodent with a heritable and commensurately reduced sensitivity to the anticoagulant". The mechanism that supports this resistance has been identified as based on mutations in the Vkorc1 gene leading to severe resistance in rats ...
