HOME RANGE AND MICROHABITAT ASSOCIATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN RED-BACKED VOLE (MYODES GAPPERI) IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FORESTS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Resources, such as food and shelter, are unevenly distributed across the landscape at both macro and micro scales. Home range is one measure of space use that reflects an individual’s resource requirements (e.g., microhabitat characteristics) and ...

Demographic factors associated with hantavirus infection in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) is the natural reservoir of Puumala virus (PUUV), a species in the genus Hantavirus. PUUV is the etiologic agent of nephropathia epidemica, a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The immune system is the primary defense against parasites. With the ever‐increasing rate of disease, epidemiologic models considering geographic variation in immune responses could prove useful. Despite increasing interest in the macroecology of parasitism and infectious diseases, we know little about the macroecology of immune responses (i.e ...

Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Regulation of forest defoliating insects through small mammal predation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Population densities of forest defoliating insects may be regulated by small mammal predation on the pupae. When outbreaks do occur, they often coincide with warm, dry weather and at barren forest sites.

Some mechanisms of trophic adaptations in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) within recreational forests of Moscow region

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2009
Summer diet of bank voles was studied in 1986-1995 and 2000-2008 in Moscow region forests. We found out that under recreational load the bank voles' forage base bulk increased, in connection with the settlement of abundant tsenofob (weed) plants ...

The bank vole (Myodes glareolus) as a sensitive bioassay for sheep scrapie [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Despite intensive studies on sheep scrapie, a number of questions remain unanswered, such as the natural mode of transmission and the amount of infectivity which accumulates in edible tissues at different stages of scrapie infection.

Infection Load and Prevalence of Novel Viruses Identified from the Bank Vole Do Not Associate with Exposure to Environmental Radioactivity

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Bank voles (Myodes glareolus) are host to many zoonotic viruses. As bank voles inhabiting areas contaminated by radionuclides show signs of immunosuppression, resistance to apoptosis, and elevated DNA repair activity, we predicted an association between ...
