A novel hantavirus detected in Yunnan red-backed vole (Eothenomys miletus) in China

Seasonal variation of myoglobin in the northern red-backed vole.

MORRISON, PETER, MARIO ROSENMANN, AND JOHN A. SEALANDER. Seasonal variation of myoglobin in the northern redbacked vole. Am. J. Physiol. 2 I I (6) : 1305-1308. 1966.-A marked increase in myoglobin concentration was observed in thigh muscle (I. 3 -+ 3.2 mg/g) and masseter (4.7 -+ 10.1 mg/g) from northern red-backed voles (Clethrionomys rutilus dawsoni) during winter (Jan.-Feb.) as compared with ...

A New Species of Chigger Mite (Acari: Trombiculidae) from Rodents in Southwest China

This paper describes a new species of chigger mite (ACARI: Trombiculidae), Gahrliepia cangshanensis n. sp., from rodents in southwest China. The specimens were collected from Yunnan red-backed voles, Eothenomys miletus (Thomas, 1914), and a Chinese white-bellied rat, Niviventer confucianus (Milne-Edwards, 1871) in Yunnan Province. The new species is unique mainly in its number of dorsal setae (...

Taxonomic position of Eothenomys wardi (Arvicolinae: Cricetidae) based on morphological and molecular analyses with a detailed description of the species.

Ward's Red-backed Vole (Eothenomys wardi) is a rodent from the family Cricetidae. This endemic species occurs only in extreme northwestern Yunnan province, China in the Mekong and Salween river divide. It occupies steep cliffs at 2,800 to 4,250 m above sea level on the remote Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. The validity of E. wardi is controversial and no specimens exist apart from the nominal series....

Frenkelia sp. from the red-backed vole, Clethrionomys rufocanus bedfordiae, in Hokkaido, Japan.

Population limitation of the northern red-backed vole in the boreal forests of northern Canada.

1. Across the vast boreal forests of North America, no population cycles in Clethrionomys species occur. In Eurasia, by contrast, some Clethrionomys populations of the same species undergo regular 3-5-year cycles. We examined the effects of nutrients, food, competitors, predators and climate on population limitation in the northern red-backed vole (Clethrionomys rutilus Pallas) in the south-wes...
