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.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the water vole, Microtus richardsoni (Cricetidae, Rodentia) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Water voles (Microtus richardsoni) are sensitive species distributed in the mountains of Canada (Alberta, British Columbia), and the United States of America (Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming).

The genome sequence of the European water vole, Arvicola amphibius Linnaeus 1758 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research, 2021
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Arvicola amphibius (the European water vole; Chordata; Mammalia; Rodentia; Cricetidae). The genome sequence is 2.30 gigabases in span.

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

Urban grasslands support threatened water voles [PDF]

Journal of Urban Ecology, 2017
Urbanisation is often linked with habitat loss and a reduction in species richness but some species may be able to adapt to urban environments. Water voles Arvicola amphibius, a rapidly declining species in the UK, have recently been recorded in isolated

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.

Large-scale remote sensing model enables an integrated monitoring approach for high-resolution tracking pest vole populations [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Grassland 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.

Identification of potential chemosignals in the European water vole Arvicola terrestris. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractThe water vole Arvicola terrestris is endemic to Europe where its outbreak generates severe economic losses for farmers. Our project aimed at characterising putative chemical signals used by this species, to develop new sustainable methods for population control that could also be used for this species protection in Great Britain.

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 Evolution
Like 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 ...

Water vole (Arvicola amphibius) abundance in grassland habitats of Glasgow [PDF]

The Glasgow Naturalist, 2019
Water vole (Arvicola amphibius) populations have undergone a serious decline throughout the UK, and yet a stronghold of these small mammals is found in the greater Easterhouse area of Glasgow.
