Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making.

Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

Synchronous population fluctuations of forest and field voles: implications for population management

open access: yesJulius-Kühn-Archiv, 2011
High population densities of field and forest voles cause economic losses by consuming crop or slowing down forest regeneration by damaging the bark of young trees.

Lunar illumination shapes small mammal activity in lowland agricultural landscapes

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Ecology, 2021
The behavioural patterns of small mammalian prey species have been shown to be widely impacted by predator avoidance. Cues to avoid predation may come from the predator itself or environmental cues, such as moonlight and available vegetative cover.

Copper influence on bank vole’s (Myodes glareolus) sexual behavior [PDF]

open access: yesEcotoxicology, 2018
The impact of human activity on the environment has led to a steady increase of the amounts of copper in the ecosystems. This element accumulates in plants and water, potentially exposing rodents to its harmful effects. In industrial districts, a decrease in the density of small rodent populations has been observed.

Spatial prediction and validation of zoonotic hazard through micro-habitat properties: where does Puumala hantavirus hole – up?

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background To predict the risk of infectious diseases originating in wildlife, it is important to identify habitats that allow the co-occurrence of pathogens and their hosts.

Reduced helminth parasitism in the introduced bank vole (Myodes glareolus): More parasites lost than gained

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2016
Introduced species are often less parasitised compared to their native counterparts and to ecologically similar hosts in the new environment. Reduced parasitism may come about due to both the loss of original parasites and low acquisition of novel ...
