The “Rodenator”: an efficient device for controlling field mice and root voles? [PDF]
, 2008 Field mice (Microtus arvalis), wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) and root voles (Arvicola terrestis) constitute a big threat to the organic apple orchards in South Tyrol. The use of rodenticides on the fields is not allowed in organic farming.

PLoS Pathogens, 2013 In order to assess the susceptibility of bank voles to chronic wasting disease (CWD), we inoculated voles carrying isoleucine or methionine at codon 109 (Bv109I and Bv109M, respectively) with CWD isolates from elk, mule deer and white-tailed deer ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Capture–recapture (CR) models have been used for decades to estimate population size and demographic rates in natural populations from the monitoring of individuals. One of the most frequent deviations from assumptions required in CR studies is the immediate trap‐dependence that corresponds to the correlation between capture events. We review empirical

Oikos, EarlyView.In the wild, individuals consistently differ in movement and space use behaviours, depending on their personality. This variation can lead to personality–habitat associations and spatial structuring, potentially generating individual niche segregation.

Association between Outlying Values in Body Condition Indices in Small Mammals and Their Habitats
LandHabitat type and habitat change are very important factors in the body condition of small mammals that inhabit them. The response can be positive, increasing, or the opposite, decreasing body condition. We analyzed outliers of the body condition indices (

Field size as a determinant of common vole population density
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Population densities of the common vole, an agricultural pest, increase nonlinearly with forage field size, especially in fields below 20 ha. Reducing the field size may help limit crop damage in farmland. Abstract BACKGROUND Environmental heterogeneity in agricultural landscapes is a key driver of biodiversity and ecological processes, yet its role in

Salt marsh harvest mouse abundance and site use in a managed marsh [PDF]
, 2009 The salt marsh harvest mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris) is a federal and California listed endangered mammal endemic to the San Francisco Bay. The objectives of this research were to determine habitat use of endangered salt marsh harvest mice in a ...

Applying allometric scaling to predator-prey systems [PDF]
, 2019 In population dynamics, mathematical models often contain too many parameters to be easily testable. A way to reliably estimate parameters for a broad range of systems would help us obtain clearer predictions from theory.
