Natural History of the Prairie Vole (Mammalian Genus Microtus) [KU. Vol. 1 No. 7]

"Natural History of the Prairie Vole (Mammalian Genus Microtus)" by E. W. (Everett Williams) Jameson, is a mid-20th century scientific work that thoroughly investigates the prairie vole, a small mammal living in northeastern Kansas around Lawrence, with an emphasis on its biological characteristics, habitat, meals, breeding, and parasitic relationships. Opening with the vole’s look and behavior, it journeys through the vole’s meals, nests, and how it lives in its setting, using information collected from many voles over almost a year. It also examines parasites like fleas and mites, as well as breeding habits and how they affect the vole population. This book delivers a detailed look at the prairie vole and is a great source for researchers and those keen on animal life in an ecosystem.
