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 ...

Mitochondrial phylogeny of Arvicolinae using comprehensive taxonomic sampling yields new insights

open access: yes, 2008
Comprehensive taxonomic sampling can vastly improve the accuracy of phylogenetic reconstruction. Here, we present the most inclusive phylogenetic analysis of Arvicolinae (Mammalia, Rodentia) to date, combining all published cytochrome b gene sequences of

The complete mitochondrial genome of Microtus fortis pelliceus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia) from China and its phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The complete mitogenome sequence of Microtus fortis pelliceus was determined using long PCR. The genome was 16,310 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 origin of L strand replication, and 1 ...

Species identification of a laboratory strain belonging to the family Arvicolinae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study investigated the taxonomic status of a laboratory strain belonging to the family Arvicolinae for which the wild species name is unknown. This vole strain, though considered formerly a Lemming, was distinguishable from any Lemmus species by ...

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

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 ...

Comparative 2D-shape analyses of collared lemmings in the zone of possible sympatry between Dicrostonyx groenlandicus and Dicrostonyx richardsoni (Rodentia, Arvicolinae)

open access: yesArctic Science, 2020
Morphological differentiation and relationships among collared lemmings (Dicrostonyx Gloger, 1841) remain unclear. This issue is particularly important in the Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada, where Dicrostonyx groenlandicus (Traill, 1823) and ...
