In Pennsylvania, three subadult eastern meadow voles were captured at least 1.6 miles (2.6 km) from the nearest appreciable suitable eastern meadow vole habitat, suggesting they are adapted to long-distance dispersal. [21] In Ohio, the effects of patch shape and proportion of edge were investigated by mowing strips between study plots.
