The Swedish Arctic Fox Project: 40 years of research in ecology and conservation

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The 4 central research themes in The Swedish Arctic Fox Project and key deliverables for practical conservation achieved over 4 decades. Abstract The scientific community widely recognizes the value of long‐term studies, especially those with individual‐level resolution; however, maintaining a consecutive data series is associated with multiple ...

Modelling the effects of mink and habitat fragmentation on the water vole [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2000
Summary1. The decline of the water voleArvicola terrestrisin the UK has been attributed to the spread of the introduced American minkMustela vison. Understanding the causes and dynamics of this decline is vital to water vole conservation. We investigated the dynamics of water voles in relation to habitat fragmentation and mink predation using an ...

Evaluation of the marking duration of iophenoxic acid (IPA) derivatives in raccoons (Procyon lotor)

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated the marking duration and intensity of iophenoxic acid (IPA) analogues in raccoon (Procyon lotor) serum following consumption of test doses encapsulated in a marshmallow or formulated into an oral rabies vaccine bait matrix. The IPA biomarkers demonstrated utility for evaluation of oral rabies vaccination baiting strategies targeting ...

Integrating vision, audition and olfaction traits: a roadmap for contrasting sensory ecologies of birds and rodents

Oikos, EarlyView.
Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

The role of the water voles (Arvicola, Rodentia) in the Quatemary

Estudios Geológicos, 1999
Los arvicólidos son roedores que tienen la morfología de la corona de los dientes formada por una secuencia de pliegues de esmalte que se asemeja a la curva y=sen f(x). Las especies actuales del género Arvicola cumplen en la morfología del molar mI, seis criterios que son independientes de la talla. El examen de las poblaciones de arvicólidos sin raíz,

Perspectives and behaviors surrounding planting practices in North America inform genetic conservation realities for American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
American ginseng is a shade‐obligate, North American medicinal plant that is widely traded and used internationally. To meet global demand, ginseng is cultivated in forest farms in the Appalachian region of the USA and field‐based artificial shade farms in two regions: Ontario, Canada and Wisconsin, USA. We conducted social research leveraging in‐depth

Estimation of water vole abundance by using surface indices [PDF]

Acta Theriologica, 1995
A method to estimate the abundance of the fossorial form of the water vole Arvicola terrestris scherman (Shaw, 1801) has been developed, by using surface indicies. Results are compared to the standard method of estimation using trap lines.

Early warning signals of common vole population growth in continental Mediterranean farmlands recurrently affected by outbreaks

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Rodent outbreaks have significant socio‐economic impacts worldwide, and anticipation is crucial for timely management decisions. We combined rainfall and periodicity data to provide an early warning signal of vole population growth in Mediterranean farmlands, a year in advance of a peak.

Cowpox virus infection in natural field vole Microtus agrestispopulations: significant negative impacts on survival [PDF]

, 2008
1. Cowpox virus is an endemic virus circulating in populations of wild rodents. It has been implicated as a potential cause of population cycles in field voles Microtus agrestis L., in Britain, owing to a delayed density-dependent pattern in prevalence ...
