Plant–herbivore interactions: Combined effect of groundwater level, root vole grazing, and sedge silicification

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Accumulation of silica (Si) by plants can be driven by (1) herbivory pressure (and therefore plant–herbivore interactions), (2) geohydrological cycles, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2), with (1–3) possibly affecting Si concentration with a 1‐year ...

Experimental Mycobacterium microti Infection in Bank Voles (Myodes glareolus)

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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.

Specificity in Sociality: Mice and Prairie Voles Exhibit Different Patterns of Peer Affiliation

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Social behavior is often described as a unified concept, but highly social (group-living) species exhibit distinct social structures and may make different social decisions.

Following the rivers: historical reconstruction of California voles Microtus californicus (Rodentia: Cricetidae) in the deserts of eastern California [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The California vole, Microtus californicus, restricted to habitat patches where water is available nearly year-round, is a remnant of the mesic history of the southern Great Basin and Mojave deserts of eastern California.

Diversity of Cryptosporidium in common voles and description of Cryptosporidium alticolis sp. n. and Cryptosporidium microti sp. n. (Apicomplexa: Cryptosporidiidae)

open access: yesParasitology, 2018
Fecal samples from wild-caught common voles (n = 328) from 16 locations in the Czech Republic were screened for Cryptosporidium by microscopy and PCR/sequencing at loci coding small-subunit rRNA, Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein, actin and 70 kDa heat

Habitat and Season Effects on Small Mammal Bycatch in Live Trapping

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Trapping small mammals is frequently used to study the dynamics, demography, behavior and presence of pathogens. When only particular small mammal species are in the focus of interest, all other species are unnecessary bycatch.

Back to the future: the proper name for red-backed voles is Clethrionomys Tilesius and not Myodes Pallas

open access: yes, 2019
Two names (Clethrionomys and Myodes) are used interchangeably for red-backed voles, which is contrary to one of the fundamental principles of zoological nomenclature, that each taxon has a single and unique valid name.

Experimental evolution of personality traits: open-field exploration in bank voles from a multidirectional selection experiment

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2018
Evolution of complex physiological adaptations could be driven by natural selection acting on behavioral traits. Consequently, animal personality traits and their correlation with physiological traits have become an engaging research area.

Experimental Cowpox Virus (CPXV) Infections of Bank Voles: Exceptional Clinical Resistance and Variable Reservoir Competence

open access: yesViruses, 2017
Cowpox virus (CPXV) is a zoonotic virus and endemic in wild rodent populations in Eurasia. Serological surveys in Europe have reported high prevalence in different vole and mouse species.
