The Effects of Social Stress on Reproduction in a Wild Deermouse Population (Peromyscus Leucopus)
Seton (1909) stimulated wide interest in the fluctuation of population density of Arctic mammals. However, his account of suicidal migrations of lemmings was based on legend, as were the accounts of periodic erruptions of house mice, rats and voles. Since then, many investigations have presented con...
