Somatic characteristics and reproduction of common vole, Microtus arvalis (Microtus arvalis
Abstract Reproduction potential and biometry of somatic characteristics of the common vole Microtus arvalis were evaluated and discussed. The results were processed on the basis of an extensive material (2,171 individuals) from the whole territory of Slovakia (315 sites situated at altitudes from 10...
