Genomic Resources for the North American Water Vole (Microtus richardsoni) and the Montane Vole (Microtus montanus) [PDF]
GigaByte, 2021 Voles of the genus Microtus are important research organisms, yet genomic resources are lacking. Such resources would benefit future studies of immunology, phylogeography, cryptic diversity, and more.

Trematode parasites as indicators of an animal component in the diet of the Water Vole Arvicola amphibius [PDF]
Helminthologia, 2023 The intestinal trematode fauna of the Water Vole Arvicola amphibius, (previously A. terrestris), was investigated to determine whether it might provide evidence of an animal component in the diet of this aquatic herbivorous small mammal. Interrogation of

Divergence time estimation using ddRAD data and an isolation-with-migration model applied to water vole populations of Arvicola [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Molecular dating methods of population splits are crucial in evolutionary biology, but they present important difficulties due to the complexity of the genealogical relationships of genes and past migrations between populations.

Impacts of Global Climate Change on Potential Habitat Distribution and Range Shifts of Semi-Subterranean Rodents [PDF]
AnimalsAs integral components of ecosystems, rodents exhibit high sensitivity to environmental fluctuations. As a typical semi-subterranean rodent, the burrowing and foraging behaviors of the mole vole (Ellobius tancrei) profoundly impact local microhabitat ...

Large-scale remote sensing model enables an integrated monitoring approach for high-resolution tracking pest vole populations [PDF]
Scientific ReportsGrassland voles pose significant challenges to agriculture and public health due to their population outbreaks. Traditional monitoring methods are labor-intensive and costly, particularly in heterogeneous landscapes.

Fossorial Form of Water Voles Select and Overexploit High‐Quality Habitats, Hindering Future Colonizations Evidence From Drone‐Based Monitoring of Dandelion‐Vole Interactions in Mountain Meadows [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionLike many rodents, the water vole is able to reach high densities in meadows. During outbreaks, voles cause significant changes in plant communities. Although water voles consume a wide variety of plant species, dandelions have a unique position: they ...
