We studied experimentally male distribution in relation to key resources, food and females, during winter and at the onset of breeding in eight enclosure populations of the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus. In the experiment we manipulated the social environment of individuals under thick snow cover. After we had determined the male movements in a mixed population of both sexes all females of each enclosure were captured and kept in a cage at one end of the enclosure while food was offered in the opposite end. Male movements between these two patches were monitored by life-trapping under the snow. We found a seasonal pattern in the distribution of males in relation to key resources. 1) During the non-breeding season the manipulation of female and food distribution did not affect the male movements significantly, but 2) as expected, at the onset of breeding females were the preferred resource for the males. The results are discussed in the light of survival and mating strategies of males.

Voles and weasels in the boreal Fennoscandian small mammal community : What happens if the least weasel disappears due to climate change?
Ylönen, Hannu; Haapakoski, Marko; Sievert, Thorbjörn; Sundell, Janne (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2019)Climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats for populations and a challenge for individual behavior, interactions and survival. Predator–prey interactions are modified by climate processes. In the ... -
Selection on two behavioral genes : fitness effects of receptor genes for arginine vasopressin 1a and oxytocin in the bank vole Myodes glareolus
Lönn, Eija (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)Most variation in behavior is regulated by genes; nevertheless the mechanisms behind maintenance of genetic diversity at behavioral loci have remained mainly elusive in natural populations. I studied in my thesis ... -
Dietary niche and gut microbial responses to novel environment in bank voles artificially selected for herbivorous capability
Vuori, Tommi (2023)Evolution of dietary niche and gut microbiota may be driven by natural selection acting on behavioral or physiological traits. However, relative importance of genetic and environmental components remain unclear. In this ... -
Effects of the early life environment on the morphology, behaviour and reproductive success of male bank voles (Myodes glareolus)
Mikkonen, Anne-Mari (2019)Yksilöt ovat herkkiä varhaiselämän kasvuympäristössä tapahtuville muutoksille, jotka voivat vaikuttaa myös ilmiasuun aikuisena. Varhaiselämän elinolosuhteilla voikin olla kauaskantoisia vaikutuksia yksilön elinkiertoon. ... -
Eco-epidemiology of tick- and rodent-borne pathogens in boreal forests
Cayol, Claire (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)Infectious diseases are amongst the ten major causes of human mortality worldwide, 60% of them being animal-borne. Variations of abiotic and biotic conditions are likely to modify the transmission of parasites and ...
