Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

Behavior‐Based Rodent Management: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Opportunities
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Management of rodent pests often relies upon their decisions about whether or not to interact with management tools such as baits and traps. These decisions are shaped by behavioral motivations that can vary with environmental context, over time, and between individuals, which provide both challenges and opportunities for control.

The Western Palaeartic evolution of the water vole, Arvicola
, 2011 The water vole is common in Middle and Late Pleistocene temperate Palaearctic faunas. It is widely used in biostratigraphy because of temporal trends in the size, shape and structure of the first lower molar (m1). However, geographic variation in the evolutionary development of the m1 has restricted the precision and accuracy of age-estimations.

Water metabolism in free-ranging pine voles (Microtus pinetorum)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1987 Rates of body water turnover in free-ranging pine voles exceeded those reported for a large number of similarly sized mammals. Concentrations of urine obtained from free-ranging pine voles were significantly lower than values published for other free-ranging mammals and also for laboratory-maintained members of this species.

Prisoners in their habitat? Generalist dispersal by habitat specialists: a case study in southern water vole (Arvicola sapidus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Habitat specialists inhabiting scarce and scattered habitat patches pose interesting questions related to dispersal such as how specialized terrestrial mammals do to colonize distant patches crossing hostile matrices.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...
