Reliability of methods used to estimate rodent pest densities in agricultural systems: the case of common vole (Microtus arvalis) in NW Spain

Abstract: Uno de los aspectos más importantes a la hora de mejorar la gestión de plagas y reducir de forma eficaz los daños que causan en cultivos, minimizando a su vez los daños colaterales causados al medio ambiente, es disponer de herramientas de monitorización fiables. El topillo campesino es una de las plagas agrarias mas importantes en Castilla y León (NO de España). En el presente estudio se compararon las estimaciones de densidad del topillo campesino obtenidas mediante dos índices indirectos: el índice PSpS (Pr… Show more

“…The largest average value of clutch size, brood size, fledglings and productivity rate were detected in 2014, caused by the extreme population outbreak of the Common Vole (Microtus arvalis) (Pallas, 1778). The multiannual population cycles of the Common Vole were widely investigated (Jacob et al 2014) and three-year-long population cycles were documented in Europe (Tkadlec & Stenseth 2001, Lambin et al 2006. Predominance of Common Vole was typical in diet of Barn Owls from the pellet analysis which was conducted in Baranya County (Horváth 1999, Horváth et al 2018.…”

“…Considering the European agricultural landscape, the Common Vole (Microtus arvalis Pallas, 1778) is the most abundant and widespread microtine rodent species, and due to high overshoots of carrying capacity (Bryja et al 2001, Jacob & Tkadlec 2010, Common Voles cause significant damage during outbreaks (Lambin et al 2006, Jacob et al 2014. Population dynamics of the Common Vole is characterized by multiannual fluctuation with 3-5 year-long population cycles in agricultural fields (Tkadlec & Stenseth 2001, Lambin et al 2006, Cornulier et al 2013, Luque-Larena et al 2013, Jacob et al 2014 and it shows typical well-defined and separable demographical phases, such as long intervals of low abundance (crash phase), increase phase and short intervals of peak phase (outbreak) (Tkadlec & Stenseth 2001, Lambin et al 2006.…”
