PLoS ONE, 2011 Bornaviruses, which chronically infect many species, can cause severe neurological diseases in some animal species; their association with human neuropsychiatric disorders is, however, debatable.

Organic farms as refuges for small mammal biodiversity in agro ecosystems [PDF]
, 2011 Habitat fragmentation, the process by which relatively continuous habitats is broken into smaller pieces, occurs in natural systems but is to a high degree also human-induced through landscape use.

Barn owls exert top‐down effects on the abundance and behavior of rodent pests
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.Abstract Predators can exert top‐down effects on their prey by direct consumption, by imposing risk of predation, or a combination of both. However, empirical evidence for these effects is mixed and inconsistent. Barn owls in agriculture present a system with attributes that should, according to theory, lead to strong top‐down effects, but research is ...

Evidence That Bank Vole PrP Is a Universal Acceptor for Prions [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Bank voles are uniquely susceptible to a wide range of prion strains isolated from many different species. To determine if this enhanced susceptibility to interspecies prion transmission is encoded within the sequence of the bank vole prion protein (BVPrP), we inoculated Tg(M109) and Tg(I109) mice, which express BVPrP containing either methionine or ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Global warming is increasing the risk of fire and decreasing winter snow cover in montane environments in many parts of the world. Using a long term trapping study in sub‐alpine habitats in the Australian Alps, we show that changes in the fire regime and snow conditions interact with other factors (availability of food and predation by introduced ...

Ontogenetic changes in the hemoglobin of the bank vole [PDF]
Acta Theriologica, 1983 Two hundred and thirty-two bank voles, Clethrionomys glareolus of different age (141 wild individuals and 91 laboratory inbred voles) were typed for hemoglobin. No foetal hemoglobin was found in foetuses and newborn animals. Two basic hemoglobin bands were found in the majority of individuals from 1-8 days old.

Effects of Strain and Species on the Septo-Temporal Distribution of Adult Neurogenesis in Rodents
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 The functional septo-temporal (dorso-ventral) differentiation of the hippocampus is accompanied by gradients of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) in laboratory rodents.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Despite extensive research, stabilizing mechanisms in ecosystems remain uncertain. Taylor's power law (TPL) is a pervasive ecological pattern that describes how variance scales with mean abundance (σ2 = aμᵇ). While TPL has been widely studied within populations, its role across species within communities and its implications for stability remain ...
