Fleas (Siphonaptera) from vole nests in subarctic Alaska
Vole fleas totalling 2420 specimens were obtained from 160 of 291 nests, principally of Microtus spp., collected in 66 localities in five regions of Alaska below the Arctic Circle, from 1973 to 1980. Six taxa were in family Hystrichopsyllidae, three in Leptopsyllidae, and five in Ceratophyllidae. Se...
