Parasites in Myodes glareolus and their association with diet assessed by stable isotope analysis [PDF]
Vertebrates are hosts to numerous parasites, belonging to many different taxa. These parasites differ in transmission, being through either direct contact, a faecal-oral route, ingestion of particular food items, vertical or sexual transmission, or by a ...

Global warming, habitat fragmentation, and interspecific competition with the European hare may reduce connectivity among suitable habitats for the mountain hare, increasing the risk of inbreeding and extinction. We evaluated how environmental heterogeneity and interspecific competition influence gene flow in alpine hares.

Signatures of Radiation‐Induced Stress and Putative Selection on Immune Targets in Chornobyl Wolves
ABSTRACT Investigating the physiological and evolutionary consequences of contaminant exposure in wild populations is critical for understanding long‐term ecological impacts of anthropogenic change. However, how and why species persist, even thrive, in highly contaminated regions in the absence of humans remains a topic of much debate.

Temporal and between-site variation in helminth communities of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) from N.E. Poland. 1. Regional fauna and component community levels [PDF]
Helminth infections were studied in bank voles (Myodes glareolus) from 3 woodland sites in N.E. Poland in the late summers of 1999 and 2002, to assess the temporal stability of derived statistics describing the regional helminth fauna and component ...

MyoD, a Lesson in Widespread DNA Binding [PDF]
There is growing recognition that animal transcription factors bind in vivo to far more genomic regions than generally assumed earlier. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Cao et al. show that the muscle specification factor MyoD binds to regions near most genes and modifies chromatin states at these sites.

Identification of factors influencing the Puumala virus seroprevalence within its reservoir in aMontane Forest Environment. [PDF]
Puumala virus (PUUV) is a major cause of mild to moderate haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and is transmitted by the bank vole (Myodes glareolus).

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 ...
