Effects of Environmental Variables on Some Physiological Responses of Microtus montanus under Natural Conditions

Abstract

The aims of the study were essentially the same as those described in the report on this project for the summer of 1969. In brief, between May and October, 1970, several physiological parameters were examined in the montane vole (Microtus montanus) under natural conditions. The physiological responses of these rodents are being correlated with seasonal changes in several enviromental variables. The collection of data was essentially the same as outlined in the 1969 report. Project Number 173.
