Rodent dynamics:
|
| Voles overwintered successfully. Density of voles based on snap-trap catches was 1.0 animals/100 trap-nights in the end of May, and dropped to 0.2 animals/100 trap-nights in September. Actual abundance was probably higher, as catching efficiency was adversely affected by rain or wet snow occurring on all days. Catching with cylinders yielded abundance indices of 3.3, 0.8, 2.5 and 2.2 animals per 10 days in May, July, August and September, respectively. Wood Lemmings were not captured.
