1. 1. The role of diseases in mass mortality of wood lemmings (Myopus schisticolor)

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :Henrik Johansen; [2021]
   Nyckelord :wood lemming; Myopus schisticolor; disease; virus; pathogens; mass mortality; orthohantavirus; pan-orthohantavirus; somatic index; spleen index;

   Sammanfattning : Like many other rodent species, the wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor) exhibits cycles with large population peaks but unlike most other European rodents, these peaks are frequently followed by mass mortality. It is largely unknown what pathogens wood lemmings carry and if pathogens could affect their population dynamics. LÄS MER

3. 2. The role of predation in mass mortality of wood Lemmings (Myopus schisticolor)

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :Björn Wallgren; [2019]
   Nyckelord :wood lemming; Myopus schisticolor; outbreak; predation; predator; mass mortality;

   Sammanfattning : The wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor) is known for its skewed sex-ratio and unpredictable population outbreaks followed by mass mortality. Both mammalian and avian predators include the wood lemming in their diet, but the role of predation in the population dynamics and mass mortality of wood lemmings is unclear. LÄS MER
