Effect of copper exposure on reproductive ability in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)
Ecotoxicology, 2014The amount of copper in natural ecosystems is steadily increasing, due to human activities. It accumulates in plants, posing a threat to herbivores. In polluted areas the population density of small rodents is observed to be lower. The decline in rodent numbers may be caused by increased mortality or diminished fertility. This study examined the effect

Lichen Compounds Restrain Lichen Feeding by Bank Voles (Myodes glareolus)
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2010Some lichen compounds are known to deter feeding by invertebrate herbivores. We attempted to quantify the deterring efficiency of lichen compounds against a generalist vertebrate, the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). In two separate experiments, caged bank voles had the choice to feed on lichens with natural or reduced concentrations of secondary ...

Neurochemistry of myenteric plexus neurons of bank vole (Myodes glareolus) ileum
Research in Veterinary Science, 2013The neurochemistry of enteric neurons differs among species of small laboratory rodents (guinea-pig, mouse, rat). In this study we characterized the phenotype of ileal myenteric plexus (MP) neuronal cells and fibers of the bank vole (Myodes glareolus), a common rodent living in Europe and in Northern Asia which is also employed in prion experimental ...

Spatio-temporal variation of metals and organic contaminants in bank voles (Myodes glareolus)
Science of The Total Environment, 2020Environmental contamination with metals and organic compounds is of increasing concern for ecosystem and human health. Still, our knowledge about spatial distribution, temporal changes and ecotoxicological fate of metals and organic contaminants in wildlife is limited. We studied concentrations of 69 elements and 50 organic compounds in 300 bank voles (

A large panel of novel microsatellite markers for the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2008AbstractWe describe a set of 66 highly polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from the bank vole, Myodes (Clethrionomys) glareolus. These microsatellites were characterized for a long‐term study on periodically fluctuating density of the bank vole population in Central Finland.

Ljungan virus (LV) is a picornavirus originally isolated from Swedish bank voles ( Myodes glareolus ) in 1998. The association of LV with human disease has been debated ever since, but fundamental data on the ecology of the virus are still lacking. Here we present results of the first intensive study on the prevalence of LV in bank voles trapped in ...

Experimental infection of laboratory-bred bank voles (Myodes glareolus) with murid herpesvirus 4
Archives of Virology, 2012MuHV-4 is a natural pathogen of rodents of the genus Apodemus (e.g., wood mice, yellow-necked mice) and Myodes glareolus (bank voles). We report experimental MuHV-4 infection of bank voles in comparison with infection of A. sylvaticus (wood mice) and BALB/c mice.

Genital morphology linked to social status in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2011Since genital morphology can influence the outcome of post-copulatory sexual selection, differences in the genitalia of dominant and subordinate males could be a factor contributing to the fertilisation advantage of dominant males under sperm competition.

Magnetická orientace norníka rudého (\kur{Myodes glareolus})
2013The magnetic orientation was established in several species of rodents, but the mechanism of its perception has not been determined. Aim of this work was to verify magnetic sense in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) and try to solve the nature of its magnetoreception in tests carried out in total darkness and when the horizontal component was reversed ...
