| [comparison of specific genomic dna fragment between microtus fortis calamorum and microtus fortis fortis]. | microtus fortis(taxonomy id: 100897), also named as reed vole, is classified as microtus, micotinae, cricetidae, rodentia, mammalia on taxonomy. microtus fortis mainly distributes in china. some areas of russia, north korea and mongolia close to northeast borderland of china also have a small number of microtus fortis in distribution. microtus fortis in china has principally 4 subspecies, and most of them live is the drainage area of yangtse river. schistosoma japonicum (one of commonly parasite ... | 2003 | 12939799 |
| small mammal community succession on the beach of dongting lake, china after the three gorges project. | although the three gorges project (tgp) may have affected the population structure and distribution of plant and animal communities, few studies have analyzed the effect of this project on small mammal communities. therefore, the present paper compares the small mammal communities inhabiting the beaches of dongting lake using field investigations spanning a 20-year period, both before and after the tgp was implemented. snap traps were used throughout the census. the results indicate that the tgp ... | 2014 | 24148252 |
| reproductive characteristics of the yangtze vole (microtus fortis calamorum) under laboratory feeding conditions. | the reproductive characteristics of a laboratory population of the vole microtus fortis calamorum were examined. voles were allowed to breed under laboratory feeding conditions. over a period of 3 months, 61.82% of the 110 vole pairs examined produced 3 or 4 litters. there were 1-9 voles in each litter and the mean litter size was 4.67±0.28 (mean±se). most litters included 3-7 young voles, accounting for 83.62% of all litters. the mean farrowing interval was 25.9 days (range from 19 to 95 days), ... | 2016 | 26617078 |
| the first complete mitochondrial genome of the microtus ochrogaster. | microtus ochrogaster, a small vole, found in central north america. recently the genome sequencing had been done, but no more information of its mitochondrial reported. herein, we first assembled the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of microtus ochrogaster. it is a 16 292 bp long sequence with most mitogenome's characteristic structure, 13 protein-coding genes, two of rrna genes, 22 of trna genes, one d-loop region, one repeat region, and three sts regions. the gc-content of our fresh sequ ... | 2016 | 26305486 |
| habitat evaluation for outbreak of yangtze voles (microtus fortis) and management implications. | rodent pests severely damage agricultural crops. outbreak risk models of rodent pests often do not include sufficient information regarding geographic variation. habitat plays an important role in rodent-pest outbreak risk, and more information about the relationship between habitat and crop protection is urgently needed. the goal of the present study was to provide an outbreak risk map for the dongting lake region and to understand the relationship between rodent-pest outbreak variation and hab ... | 2015 | 25316099 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of microtus fortis calamorum (arvicolinae, rodentia) and its phylogenetic analysis. | microtus fortis is a special resource of rodent in china. it is a promising experimental animal model for the study on the mechanism of schistosome japonicum resistance. the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence for microtus fortis calamorum, a subspecies of m. fortis (arvicolinae, rodentia), was reported in this study. the mitochondrial genome sequence of m. f. calamorum (genbank: jf261175) showed a typical vertebrate pattern with 13 protein coding genes, 2 ribosomal rnas, 22 transfer rn ... | 2012 | 22387301 |
| effect of enso-driven precipitation on population irruptions of the yangtze vole microtus fortis calamorum in the dongting lake region of china. | the yangtze vole (microtus fortis buechner, 1889) is a small herbivore species that inhabits lake beaches in the dongting lake region along the yangtze river in southern china. its population shows strong oscillations during the wet season due to summer precipitation-induced immigration away from the lake into adjacent rice fields. the effect of el niño-southern oscillation-driven precipitation on population abundance and growth of the vole species is not fully understood. we undertook an analys ... | 2010 | 21392335 |
| [evaluation on the impacts of environmental changes and three-gorge engineering on the population of yangtze voles (microtus forits) in the dongting lake region]. | the relationships between the population of yangtze voles (microtus fortis) and the evolvement of the dongting lake beaches were analyzed based on historical data, and the impacts of the three-gorge engineering on beach environment and water level of the lake were assessed according to the regulation scheme on downward discharge flux of the three-gorge dam. the results indicated that the population of the voles has been increasing since 1950's, owing to the continuous enlargement of the lake bea ... | 2002 | 12181902 |
