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

Identifying California Microtus species using geometric morphometrics documents Quaternary geographic range contractions

Paleontology can provide a deep-time dimension to observations about recent reactions of small mammals to climate change. Obtaining this perspective for voles (Microtus), a common and important constituent of North American mammal communities, has been difficult because species identification based on their dental remains is problematic. Here I demonstrate that geometric morphometrics and discr...

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...

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

The effects of vitamin K1-rich plant foods on the efficacy of the anticoagulant rodenticides chlorophacinone and diphacinone, used against Montane Voles (<i>Microtus montanus</i>)

Phylogeographic structure in long‐tailed voles (Rodentia: Arvicolinae) belies the complex Pleistocene history of isolation, divergence, and recolonization of Northwest North America's fauna

Quaternary climate fluctuations restructured biodiversity across North American high latitudes through repeated episodes of range contraction, population isolation and divergence, and subsequent expansion. Identifying how species responded to changing environmental conditions not only allows us to explore the mode and tempo of evolution in northern taxa, but also provides a basis for forecastin...
