Winter activity rhythms of a rodent pest species in agricultural habitats
Predation risk is the main factor affecting movements of mammal prey species. Here we
assessed the activity patterns of a nearly endemic fossorial rodent, the Savi's pine vole …

A model for voles interference in cultivated orchards
A Viscardi, S Bertolino, E Venturino - Mathematical Biosciences, 2023 - Elsevier
We consider a dynamical system involving seven populations to model the presence of
voles in a cultivated orchard. The plant population is stratified by age (three groups) and by …
