Factors Affecting the Distribution and Abundance of Microtus Ochrogaster and M. Pennsylvanicus in East-Central Illinois (Competition, Agonistic)
… of habitat segregation between the meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus) and the prairie vole (M. ochrogaster) was investigated in east-central Illinois. Local distribution of the two species indicated a strong negative association. Multivariate analysis of variance of the vegetation …

The Effects of USDA Farm-Bill Restoration Programs on Prairie Voles (microtus ochrogaster) in the Barrens Region of Kentucky
… and CREP plant mixes will have on prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) populations. Small mammal trapping will be used to assess crucial variables such as recruitment, population density, body mass, survival, habitat choice, and home range will be measured to quantify the relative success of small …

Food Partitioning Between Two Sympatric Cricetid Species
… by studying food habits of sympatric species. Microtus ochrogaster and Peromyscus maniculatus occur sympatrically at the Southwest Missouri State University agricultural station. Fecal and stomach content samples from these species were collected and analyzed for the type and amount of food …

Effects of a Small Mammalian Herbivore on a Grassland Undergoing Restoration
… thesis examines the effects of the prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster, on a grassland undergoing restoration. The study addresses these effects with respect to treatment plots (vole-enhanced enclosures and vole-excluded exclosures) and control plots, which have not had the small mammal community …

The Role of Plant Chemical Defenses in The Nutritional Ecology of Voles
… feeding trials (Chapter One) with prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) showed that plant phenolics (quercetin, tannic acid, and quebracho) can reduce survival and growth of voles. The effects of phenolics were related to molecular structure, and included toxicity, feeding deterrence, and reduction …

Effects of connectivity and regional dynamics on restoration trajectories for small mammal communities on Midwestern grasslands
… mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster), and meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus); which combined represented 92-97% of total captures each year. Typical restoration trajectories for small mammal communities included a shift over time from dominance by generalist …

The Effects of Food, Cover and Competition on Demography, Dispersal and Density of Voles
… and population dynamics of prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) and meadow voles ( Microtus pennsylvanicus) populations that occupied habitat patches that differed in availability of high quality food and amount of vegetative cover. I tested a series of a priori hypotheses regarding the …

Molecular regulation of vasopressin receptor among (mostly) monogamous prairie voles
… underlying mechanisms. We use the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) to examine how intraspecific variation in brain and behavior emerges as a result of genetic, epigenetic and environmental variation. Although prairie voles are socially monogamous, they vary in sexual fidelity; faithful prairie …

Social defeat and oxytocin regulation of social avoidance and stress-related signaling proteins
… Particularly, social defeat in prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) advantageously allows the study of female subjects due to their spontaneous display of aggression towards unfamiliar conspecifics after pair bond formation. Once defeated, prairie voles exhibit social avoidance to unfamiliar …

The effects of mammalian herbivores on successional grasslands in central Illinois
… small mammal species (Peromyscus leucopus, Microtus ochrogaster, M pennsylvanicus, and Sylvilagus floridanus) and related these data to those from the exclosure experiments. To determine the kinds and numbers of plants commonly dispersed by rabbits, I also collected and germinated plants …
