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.
Meadow vole habitat devoid of tree cover and grasses dominated the herb layer. [11] with low tolerance for habitat variation (i. e., a species that is intolerant of variations in habitat, is restricted to few habitats, and/or uses habitats less evenly than tolerant species). [11] In most areas, meadow voles clearly prefer habitat with dense ...
The gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus) also known as the gray-tailed meadow vole or gray-tailed meadow mouse, is a rodent in the genus Microtus (small-eared "meadow voles") of the family Cricetidae. Voles are small mammals, and this species lies roughly in the middle of their size range.
Another species from the same genus, the meadow vole, has promiscuously mating males, and scientists have changed adult male meadow voles' behavior to resemble that of prairie voles in experiments in which a viral vector was used to increase a single gene's expression within a particular brain region. [14]
The California vole (Microtus californicus) is a type of vole [2] which lives throughout much of California and part of southwestern Oregon. It is also known as the "California meadow mouse", a misnomer as this species is a vole, not a mouse. It averages 172 mm (6.8 in) in length although this length varies greatly between subspecies.
East European vole (Microtus mystacinus) Altai vole (Microtus obscurus) split from M. arvalis [7] Paradox vole (Microtus paradoxus) East European gray vole (Microtus rossiaemeridionalis) split from M. mystacinus [8] Schidlovsky's vole (Microtus schidlovskii) Social vole (Microtus socialis) Transcaspian vole (Microtus transcaspicus)
