Reproduction in the Water‐Vole, Arvicola amphibius Linn.

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1943
Summary.1. Reproduction in the water‐vole, Arvicola amphibius, is described from field material comprising 128 males and 95 females.2. The reproductive organs resemble those of the bank‐vole.3. The breeding season extends from the end of March to the latter half of September, but fecund males were caught in February.4.

A Comparison of the Water Balance of the Prairie and Meadow Voles

Ecology, 1963
The habitats of the meadow vole, Microtuts pennsylvanicus, and the prairie vole, M. ochrogaster, are fairly similar; both occur almost exclusively in areas supporting graminoid vegetation. Although each species has been recorded from both moist and dry situations, it would appear that M.

Water Consumption by Red Tree Voles (Arborimus longicaudus)

Northwestern Naturalist, 2011
Abstract We studied consumption of free water by a sample of 7 Red Tree Voles (Arborimus longicaudus) maintained in captivity on a natural diet of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) foliage. Mean consumption of free water by individual voles was 0.016 ± 0.001 ml/g/d, which is much lower than has been reported for most other species of voles. The small

Metapopulation processes and persistence in remnant water vole populations

Oikos, 2001
We examined the spatial distribution of water vole populations in four consecutive years and investigated whether the regional population processes of extinction, recolonisation and migration influence distribution and persistence. We examined how such regional processes are influenced by spatial variation in habitat quality.

[Factors of stress in a local population of water vole].

Zhurnal obshchei biologii, 2012
Physiological mechanisms of stress have a multiple influence on the implementation of the adaptive capacity of individuals. From this perspective, analysis of factors determining the stress level of animals in changing environment acquires important ecological and evolutionary significance.

CONSERVING WATER VOLES: BRITAIN'S FASTEST DECLINING MAMMAL

Water and Environment Journal, 2004
ABSTRACTIn Britain, the water vole is a declining species because of habitat loss and land‐use change associated with the intensification of agriculture and urban encroachment. During recent years, this decline has accelerated due to predation by feral American Mink (escapees from fur farms) and population fragmentation.

Effects of Density and Resources on the Social System of Water Voles

1990
Water voles (Arvicola terrestris) were studied in two different habitats, marsh and grassland, in Sweden. Voles breeding in the marsh moved to burrows in grassland when becoming nonreproductive, whereas voles breeding in grassland remained there all year. Home ranges in the marsh were much larger than in grassland.
