| [density-dependent regulation in populations of red-backed voles (myodes rutilus) in optimal and suboptimal habitats of south-west siberia]. | in a population of red-backed voles (myodes rutilus) that live in optimal habitats (mountain taiga of north-eastern altai) in the years of peak density we have observed total suppression of sexual maturation of young animals which is known to be the main mechanism of density regulation. increase of voles' local density is accompanied by the increase of glucocorticoids in blood of mature and immature individuals of both sexes that argues for the important role of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal ax ... | 2012 | 22567967 |
