Dynamics of small mammal populations: a review
GO Batzli - Wildlife 2001: populations, 1992 - Springer
An understanding of population dynamics requires explanations for both the patterns of
fluctuations and the densities at which they occur. To identify the causal mechanisms …

From arctic lemmings to adaptive dynamics: Charles Elton's legacy in population ecology
We shall examine the impact of Charles S. Elton's 1924 article on periodic fluctuations in
animal populations on the development of modern population ecology. We argue that his …

Measuring and testing for spatial synchrony
Spatial synchrony in abundance among populations at different locations has been studied
for many species. Different statistics have been used as measures of synchrony, and various …

Predation on competing rodent species: a simple explanation of complex patterns
1. We extend a predator-prey model previously parameterized for voles and weasels to two
prey species, aMicrotus'(field vole) type which is competitively superior to but more …

Spatial and temporal patterns of small‐rodent population dynamics at a regional scale
Many species exhibit regional synchrony in population dynamics, and different influential
biotic and abiotic factors can be indicated by the observed scale of spatial synchrony. Here …

Population dynamic and genetic consequences of spatial density-dependent dispersal in patchy populations
J Aars, RA Ims - The American Naturalist, 2000 - journals.uchicago.edu
Predictions about sex-specific, spatial density-dependent dispersal and their demographic
and genetic consequences were tested in experimental populations of root voles (Microtus …

Is spacing behaviour coupled with predation causing the micro tine density cycle? A synthesis of current process-oriented and pattern-oriented studies
Current ecological information on periodically fluctuating microtine populations are
demonstrated to support a hypothesis involving both predation and intrinsic self-regulation …

New views on how population‐intrinsic and community‐extrinsic processes interact during the vole population cycles
Based on evidence from a series of recent studies linking behaviour to demography in
experimental vole populations we propose how intrinsic and extrinsic factors interact …
