In this review, we summarise experimental animal studies on the effects of the social
environment during pregnancy on the offsprings' behaviour, brain, and neuroendocrine …

In Europe, hantaviruses (Bunyaviridae) are small mammal-associated zoonotic and
emerging pathogens that can cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) …

Cyclic vole populations, defined as showing fairly regular 3–4 yr density fluctuations but with
variable amplitudes, were monitored in boreal Sweden in spring and fall 1971–2002 …

Well-known examples of high-amplitude, large-scale fluctuations of small-mammal
populations include vole cycles in the boreal zone of Eurasia, lemming cycles in the high …

Organic farming often counteracts the decline of various taxa owing to agricultural
intensification, but little is known about the relative importance of local management and …

The interdigitation of the Nearartic and Neotropical biogeographic zones in the
Transvolcanic Belt (TVB) of central Mexico provides the region with high faunal richness and …

Plants growing in diverse communities are believed to exhibit associational resistance to
herbivores, but this hypothesis has seldom been tested experimentally for vertebrate …

Summary 1 The geographical pattern in Fennoscandian small rodent population dynamics
with a southern noncyclic and a northern cyclic region, and with latitudinal gradients in …

The spatial distribution of predators is affected by intra‐and interspecific interactions within
the predator guild. Studying these interactions under fluctuating food availability, while …

We examined inter-specific interactions among goshawks (Accipiter gentilis), common
buzzards (Buteo buteo) and honey buzzards (Pernis apivorus) in western Finland in 1983 …
