The diet of wintering Barn Owls (Tyto alba) in the region of Histria, the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2008
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is a common nocturnal predator of agro-ecosystems and it is widely distributed, especially in European countryside. The species uses human artifacts, ruins, barns, attics, towers for breeding and roosting, these sites can provide

Properties of vertebrate predator–prey networks in the high Arctic

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
Predation is an important ecological process, particularly in arctic environments, which undergo rapid environmental change. Vertebrate trophic networks from a fragmented terrestrial ecosystem on northern Ellesmere Island and north Greenland were less complex, had more specialized interactions, and were more nested and more modular than random ...

Blood meal analysis reveals sources of tick‐borne pathogens and differences in host utilization of juvenile Ixodes ricinus across urban and sylvatic habitats

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 442-450, June 2024.
Abstract Aims Urban green spaces are locations of maximal human activity, forming areas of enhanced risk for tick‐borne disease (TBD) transmission. Being also limited in spatial scale, green spaces form prime targets for control schemes aiming to reduce TBD risk.

Rapid development of mature vocal patterns of ultrasonic calls in a fast-growing rodent, the yellow steppe lemming (Eolagurus luteus).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) of laboratory rodents may serve as age-dependent indicators of emotional arousal and anxiety. Fast-growing Arvicolinae rodent species might be advantageous wild-type animal models for behavioural and medical research ...

A genetic linkage map and comparative mapping of the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) genome

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2011
Background The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is an emerging rodent model for investigating the genetics, evolution and molecular mechanisms of social behavior. Though a karyotype for the prairie vole has been reported and low-resolution comparative

The spermatozoa structure peculiarities of the subgenus Sumeriomys (Rodentia, Arvicolinae, Microtus)

open access: yesRussian Journal of Theriology, 2015
Owing to distinct differences in size and shape in different taxa, spermatozoa can be of a high diagnostic value. The functional and evolutionary nature of such diversity is poorly understood. The purpose of the study was to summarize the data on the differences in sperm design and linear parameters between the subgenera Sumeriomys and Microtus (the ...

Combining information from surveys of several species to estimate the probability of freedom from Echinococcus multilocularis in Sweden, Finland and mainland Norway

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2011
Background The fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis has foxes and other canids as definitive host and rodents as intermediate hosts. However, most mammals can be accidental intermediate hosts and the larval stage may cause serious disease in humans ...
