Chemical triggering of reproduction in Microtus montanus.

Effect of limited mating on the corpora lutea in montane voles, Microtus montanus.

Metapopulations of Montane and Long-Tailed Voles (Microtus montanus and M. longicaudus), and Hantavirus and Plague in the Jackson Hole Small Mammal Community

The effect of mating upon LH release in male and female voles of the species Microtus agrestis.

Members of the microtine species are probably reflex ovulators. The prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster (Richmond & Conway, 1969), the meadow vole, M. pennsylvanicus (Clulow & Mallory, 1970), the levant vole, M. guentheri (Bodenheimer & Sulman, 1946), the Californian vole, M. californicus (Greenwald, 1956), and the montane vole, Microtus montanus (Gray, Davis, Zerylnick & Dewsbury, 1974) have al...

Comparison of Oocyte Maturation Trigger Using Follicle Stimulating Hormone Plus Human Chorionic Gonadotropin versus hCG Alone in Assisted Reproduction Technology Cycles

Objective The success rates of assisted reproduction technology (ART) could be developed with the improvement of ovarian stimulation protocols as well as the optimization of final oocyte maturation. The goal of this study was to compare oocyte maturation, fertilization and pregnancy rates among women with concomitant FSH administration at the time of hCG trigger and the hCG trigger alone. Mater...

Discrimination Between Microtus Longicaudus and Microtus Montanus Using Cranial Morphology, External Measurements, DNA Sequencing, and Discriminate Function Analysis

Montane and Long-tailed voles (Microtus montanus and Microtus longicaudus) are notoriously difficult to distinguish through external characteristics and measurements in the field, particularly among juveniles. Being able to accurate identify these species is important, due to their central role in ecosystems (as keystone species) and as indicator species of climate change (due to their high sen...
