Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 We aimed to develop a framework, based on graph theory, to capture the ecological meaning behind pure pair comparisons of microbiome-derived data. As a proof of concept, we applied the framework to analyze the co-occurrence of bacteria in either Ixodes ...

Experimental Mycobacterium microti Infection in Bank Voles (Myodes glareolus)
Microorganisms, 2022 Voles are maintenance hosts of Mycobacterium microti. In line with the goal to eradicate tuberculosis (TB) in livestock, the role of this mycobacteria needs to be assessed since it might interfere with current M. bovis/M.

ILAR Journal, 1998 Gray voles belong to the Arvicolidae family and, together with mouse and rat, to the vast Muroidea superfamily. All representatives of the genus Microtus look quite similar; a nonspecialist can see hardly any differences between them, except perhaps their slight variations in size and fur color.

Common Vole as a Focal Small Mammal Species in Orchards of the Northern Zone
Diversity, 2021 In 2018–2020, we performed a country-wide study of small mammals in commercial orchards and berry plantations with the aim of determining whether the common vole (Microtus arvalis) is a more suitable focal species than the field vole (M. agrestis) in the

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 The formation of hybrid sterility is an important stage of speciation. The voles of the genus Microtus, which is the most speciose genus of rodents, provide a good model for studying the cytological mechanisms of hybrid sterility.

Milk composition and volume in meadow voles and prairie voles [PDF]
Acta Theriologica, 1988 Meadow and praire voles differ in frequency and duration of nursing. Authors examine differences in pattern of maternal investment by comparing the volume and composition of milk produced by the two species.

Genetics of Aggression in Voles [PDF]
, 2011 Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are socially monogamous rodents that form pair bonds-a behavior composed of several social interactions including attachment with a familiar mate and aggression toward conspecific strangers. Therefore, this species has provided an excellent opportunity for the study of pair bonding behavior and its underlying neural
