Voles in space: food resources and intestinal parasites impact spatial behaviour in wild rodents

This blog post is provided by Janine Mistrick and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Effects of food supplementation and helminth removal on space use and spatial overlap in wild rodent populations”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. This study leverages a large-scale field experiment in southern Finland to investigate how ecological factors affect spatial behaviour in wild rodents. Janine Mistrick, … Continue reading Voles in space: food resources and intestinal parasites impact spatial behaviour in wild rodents
