Foraging animals create nonrandom patterns of diversity and abundance within resource communities. Perceiving predation pressure and intraspecific competition for food resources, foragers can alter space use patterns, foraging intensity, and preference ...

Timing Is Everything: The Effect of Exposure to Pollution on Wildlife Gut Microbiota Is Contingent on Season. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Exposure to environmental pollutants can disrupt the gut microbiota, but how pollutants impact natural, seasonal changes in wildlife gut microbiota remains unknown. We quantified how exposure to radionuclides affected temporal changes in the gut microbiota of bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) inhabiting the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ ...

Seasonal Drivers of Density in a Subarctic Population of Northern Red-Backed Voles. [PDF]
In this study, we analyzed 30 years of northern red‐backed vole population data from Denali National Park to examine how environmental factors influenced density over time. We found that this population showed cyclic population fluctuations with a 2–4 year period, with some variation between sampling sites, and that densities were positively associated

Unidirectional Mitochondrial Introgression Despite Limited Nuclear Admixture in North American Red-Backed Voles, <i>Clethrionomys rutilus</i> and <i>C. gapperi</i>. [PDF]
We use RADseq data to investigate the outcomes of secondary contact across three distinct transects of a continental‐scale contact zone between two species of red‐backed voles. We find different outcomes at each transect and document rampant unidirectional mitochondrial introgression.

Geographical Distribution and Genetic Diversity of Bank Vole Hepaciviruses in Europe
The development of new diagnostic methods resulted in the discovery of novel hepaciviruses in wild populations of the bank vole (Myodes glareolus, syn. Clethrionomys glareolus). The naturally infected voles demonstrate signs of hepatitis similar to those
