Abstract. Recent findings on the relationship between social interaction and demographic process in the gray-sided vole Clethrionomys rufocanus are reviewed with reference to the findings in other microtine rodents. Social behavior was particularly focused on spacing and dispersal, and their effects on population dynamics are discussed. Female territoriality can limit a population abundance as a density-dependent factor, although its regulatory effect is controversial. Female philopatry and male-biased dispersal should bring about the clumped distribution of female relatives and genetically random distribution of males during the breeding season. The sexual difference in dispersal patterns can contribute to the mating behavior of the vole; promiscuous mating and low frequency of incestuous mating. However, effects of social structure, including kinship, on reproduction and survival of individuals still remains to be clarified. Molecular markers may help to solve these issues and provide new field of population ecology in microtine rodents.

Population dynamics of Clethrionomys glareolus and Apodemus flavicollis: seasonal components of density dependence and density independence. [In: Theriology at the turn of a new century. J. Gliwicz, ed]. Acta Theriologica 47, Suppl. 1: 39-67.Using long-term data on two forest rodent species [the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber, 1780) and the yellow-necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis (Melchior, 1834)] from the Bia³owie¿a Primeval Forest (E Poland), we decompose the annual density-dependent and density-independent structures into their seasonal components. For this purpose we adopt a state-space modelling approach explicitly incorporating sampling stochasticity. As density-independent factors we use the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) -a proxy variable for the overall climatic condition -and data on annual seed production. We find a weak effect of the NAO in the annual models for both species as well as during the winter in the seasonal model for C. glareolus. The effect of the NAO disappears, however, when seed-crops are incorporated into the models (for both the annual and the seasonal -suggesting that NAO primarily affects seed production). Seed production enters the models with a positive effect during the winter only, suggesting that the among-year variation in rodent density is primarily accounted for by differences in seed-production, particularly oak seeds. For A. flavicollis, a slightly positive effect of hornbeam also appears in the summer dynamics. The obtained results are discussed on the basis of earlier studies on the same populations, on the same species studied elsewhere as well as on the basis of general ecological insight.
