Synchronous population fluctuations of forest and field voles: implications for population management
High population densities of field and forest voles cause economic losses by consuming crop or slowing down forest regeneration by damaging the bark of young trees. Consequently, programs to monitor abundances are often implemented as part of population management. Whereas abundances of the common v...
